We LOVE Blue Wave! The Karate Cubs class has improved self-discipline and social skills. The instructors are so patient with the toddlers and really take the the time to teach them.

My son did the karate cub program and loved it. Ms. Tammy was wonderful. She’s kind and strict all at the same time. We loved our experience.

I highly recommend Blue Wave Edwardsville to anyone remotely interested in taking martial arts. The instructor is incredibly skilled and knowledgeable and her staff are the same. regardless of skill level, you will receive nothing but the best teaching. it's clear that they truly want to see you get better. There are kids classes, low belt, high belt and all belt classes. plenty of options to suit various working schedules. I didn't know any other students when first started but everyone was so welcoming to my wife and I, the community is great!

From class #1 you are treated like family here. Everyone encourages and helps each other out. After years of our daughter attending a different martial arts studio we decided to switch and Blue Wave has taken her to a whole new level of martial arts. Her all around self esteem has skyrocketed too since beginning there. Its been an awesome experience and we look forward to watching her grow there over the years.

I have a little boy with lots of energy! He started at age 3 and now has his yellow belt at age 6. Miss Tammy and her staff are miracle workers with preschool age little boys, helping their ability to focus, follow directions and developing pride in their character. As he gets older he is loving getting stronger, learning more involved forms and the friendships he has developed with other students at Blue Wave. My son now loves TKD so much he says he wants to get his black belt some day. We are definitely be starting his younger brother as soon as he’s old enough!!

Been going here with my kids for almost a year and looking forward to many more years. Great family atmosphere with a heavy emphasis on forms and technique. Some places are just belt factories and it's too easy to move up quickly. This school takes testing very seriously and achieving higher ranks is meaningful. Great life skills are taught here.

We absolutely LOVE Blue Wave. Tammy and everyone else, including the other families, are so amazing. Tammy is disciplined and strict with the students, but also has a kind heart. It's a perfect balance which is exactly what my son needs....discipline and love! Give them a try. I promise you will not be disappointed.

I have a rather rambunctious 3 year old boy, so we hoped karate would help teach him more discipline. We are only able to attend once per week, so he has been a tough nut to crack. There were many weeks I thought they would ask us not to come back. However, Miss Tammy and Miss Sam have worked so well with him. Even when he was kicking, whining, or ignoring instructions, they never gave up on him. They are firm with him but still show him respect and guide him along. Yesterday, after much hard work on their part as well as his, he earned his first star after many long months. He is listening, he is saying "yes ma'am", and he is participating in class. Thank you ladies for making it a judgement free zone and never giving up on us.

I love it at Bluewave! Tammy is an inspiration and a wonderful instructor in both fitness and martial arts. She pushes you and challenges you to do your best and then some. Classes are challenging and fun! Since training there I’ve gained strength, flexibility, self confidence, and discipline. It’s a great place for both you and your family to learn and grow and make some great friends along the way!
