Andre is so wonderful and patient with children. It is such a great place for all (kids and adults) to learn both physically and intellectually. I would recommend Tigers Lair to anyone and everyone.

Great with the kids. He brings the science to karate. Great passion to martial arts too. Andre has alot to offer. The knowledge and experience he has is amazing. Down the earth. Always takes time to answer any questions and /or concerns. Always willing to work around your schedule.

Shihan Andre is an incredible instructor who has created a safe and respectful environment for students of all levels of physical ability to learn and grow. His limitless patience, kindness and dedication to Karate practice are inspiring. I feel very fortunate to be able to train with him.

Niagara is fortunate to have this marital arts school. Karate classes highly recommended for children who need more structure/fitness/self-defence. Also adult cardio kickboxing and MMA is among the best in the region.

Probably the best health and personal investment one can make for themselves or a loved one. If there was ever a definition of professional martial arts training this is the standard!! Andre is a world champion and his energy and mentorship is unmatched. If you’re serious or curious about getting started in the sport, Tigers Lair is the Mecca of Karate in Niagara Region. Highly recommended for all ages!

This review is from my 9 year old daughter… I asked her why she enjoys karate and why she likes Tiger’s Lair, she said “I am learning to defend myself, and I’m making new friends.” “ Shihan is a strong teacher.” My daughter looks forward to her lessons, and is more confident in herself. We highly recommend Tiger’s Lair.

Excellent dojo. No matter your skill level Sensei Andre is there to assist you. He just doesn't teach karate, he teaches you self control , how to appreciate yourself, and how to respect everyone and everything around you.

Absolutely best possible choice for training in the region. Several of my children have attended and are currently attending and Andres level of commitment to training others and the love of his sport is absolutely unparalleled.

Always a fun environment. Andre did a great job with engaging the kids and making learning fun. Does a great job of adjusting to each learning style. Everyone feels welcome.

There are a lot of reasons to train in karate: fitness, improved confidence, acquire skills in self-defense, prepare for competitions, or learn an attitude and philosophy that can benefit you in other areas of life. Tiger's Lair is great for helping it's students learn and grow in all of these ways. I joined 3 years ago and I now feel healthier, stronger and more confident than I ever have. I have also seen many other students benefit from the teaching and training of Sensei Lemieux (from young kids about 4-5 years old to adults in their golden years). He is patient, professional, and great at teaching kids (he knows how to make physical training fun!) Whether you want to dive deep into the traditions of Karate, or just need an effective regimen for physical fitness, I would recommend Tiger Lair's Karate any day of the week.

I strongly recommend this dojo. My son started 5 years ago when he was in grade 1. He is always happy to go even in March breaks and during summer camps. The Sensei has a lot of experience and his discipline are remarkable. My daughter started later too and both love karate.

My favorite thing about Andre and Tiger's Lair is the focus on respect, and inner strength. Any karate school can teach your kids how to throw a punch. The most valuable lesson they'll receive is the confidence to be strong in life, which is necessary at the best of times.

Andre really rewards effort and results. He encourages his students to push themselves to try harder, do better, and they respond to his motivation.
