cHRIS p. "Accessible and Engaging"
"In the 6 years I've trained in Karate with Brandon, his exceptional teaching style has greatly impacted me. His ability to explain complex techniques with clear and powerful analogies makes learning accessible and engaging.

His mentorship has significantly improved my martial arts skills and teaching methods, establishing him as an outstanding instructor.” --Chris P.
kYLIE a. "Personally invested in my success and learning"
“For a long time, I had never considered the need to involve myself in any kind of self defense. My brother had grown up going to karate, but for whatever reason I found no interest in it, and was always afraid that, even in adulthood, if I did karate I would get hurt a ton or have great difficulty due to my small size and stature. Eventually, my husband started doing karate with a local dojo Brandon worked at, and before I knew it, I began to have the itch to go with him as well to give karate a shot. I found myself surprised to find that even if there were rougher students who lacked control, who scared me or made me feel uncomfortable, Brandon Chambers was always quick to correct them, and though Brandon is twice my size and is built like a bull, I never felt intimidated or was EVER injured during his instruction. I mention this fact because at the time, there were other teachers working with him in the former dojo he was employed at who had accidentally harmed me on several occasions which left me in tears and with bruises and sprains. I’ll reiterate that this NEVER occurred, even when sparring, with Sensei Chambers. My husband and I eventually left that former dojo because of how uncomfortable it was under these other instructors, and happily continued our instruction alone with Brandon after he founded his own dojo. He was extremely disciplined, helpful, motivated, and never hesitated to instruct with kindness and pertinence. Under his instruction I was taught ways to use my small size to my advantage, how to evade and block strikes, beautiful and complex forms and defenses, and discipline. I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to be taught by such a thoughtful instructor who was always personally invested in my success and learning. I would highly recommend Brandon Chambers over any other sensei, local or otherwise. If you are a woman who wants to try self defense, but is hesitating thinking you’ll get hurt, be belittled, or mistreated, you should go to no one else but Tiger Den! You won’t find any of that sort of malpractice in this incredible dojo.” --Kylie A.
jOSIE r. "Technique is precise, teaching top notch, and attitude is always positive."

He was there through my own martial arts journey, during which he was a key help in my progression. His technique is precise, teaching top notch, and attitude is always positive. I would highly recommend Sensei Chambers as a martial arts instructor.” --Josie R.

"My teenage son has been training with Sensei Chambers at Tiger Den Dojo for some time now, and the impact has been truly remarkable. Not only has he developed a genuine love for karate, but he has also gained invaluable leadership skills under Sensei Chamber's guidance. The way he mentors students is inspiring—balancing discipline, encouragement, and motivation perfectly.
Sensei Chambers creates a positive and supportive environment where students thrive, both on and off the mat. It’s amazing to see my son’s confidence grow as he takes on leadership opportunities and learns life skills that extend far beyond karate.

Lauren Smith "mindful and considerate of others"
"Having worked with Brandon Chambers in personal and business matters, I have always found him to be mindful and considerate about others, always checking in and clarifying information and instructions and is attentive to my comfort and safety whenever I have worked with him in a group or alone. He earnestly sought my opinion, as a woman, what he could do to make his teaching style respectful and how to better create an atmosphere that any student would be comfortable in.
Having earned a black belt in another style I think it is very generous of Brandon to teach the basics of karate in his own style at such an affordable rate.
He is also generous with his time allowing me to consult him pro bono for a college project that will contribute to the preservation of Navajo History.
Anyone would be lucky to study under Brandon as their sensei."--Google Review

Helen S. "the adult class is a great place for beginners"
"As an adult student, it's scary to start new things. I loved TDD and especially Sensei Brandon Chambers -- he immediately made me feel comfortable on Day 1 and that feeling never changed. He's enthusiastic, knowledgeable, and a patient teacher.
The adult class is a great place for beginners and those with martial arts experience alike (and a huge shout out to McKell in the adult class!).
I started karate as a way to relieve stress as I studied for the bar, and I was able to accomplish that and advance 3 belts in just a few months!!"--Google Review

"My son struggles with self esteem which in turn affects his confidence to pursue extracurricular activities it’s a vicious cycle. As a mom I wanted him to find something to get him out and build confidence and exercise at the same time. He has loved this class and comes home every week feeling better about himself. I can see the confidence in himself building. I am so grateful he has had the opportunity to take this class and Brandon for making it enjoyable for him. "

"I was very impressed with Brandon's teaching. He has so much energy and gets the kids engaged and involved the moment they walk in. He greets each student and learns their names quickly. Brandon was able to keep all the kids engaged and participating and was also able to notice if a student was struggling and needed some extra attention. My girls had fun in class and were excited with each new skill learned." --Miriam T.
"Brandon has a way of keeping the kids engaged even when they’re determined to run around in circles. He’s great at refocusing my son’s attention back to the task. He runs a fun and purpose filled class and I’m happy we found this program." --Holly B.
