Josh and Amy Hazelip are the Owners/Instructors of Tiger Rock Martial Arts of West Knoxville.  The Hazelip’s goal was to create a Martial Arts Academy where young men and women could have an opportunity to develop into young leaders that possess great integrity and honor.  The cornerstone of their beliefs is to give every person a chance at not only learning self-defense, but to also mold young people into our future leaders.  Martial Arts is more than a journey for the Hazelips, but it is a development model to teach the youth about respect, hard work, and the ability to be great and encourage them to be more than they believe. 

The Hazelips provide multiple community events that are free to the public and provide a charity challenge each cycle for all their students.  The belief is that you can become mentally and physically strong as well as learn to help and be empathic to the plights of your fellow brothers and sisters.  That all deserve respect and all can be encouraged.  These beliefs are instilled into the Hazelips Martial Arts model throughout their Academy.  All their programs including their after-school programs are based on these beliefs and tenets.
