Master Mario & Tamara Rangel

Owners & Operators

Master Mario and Tamara Rangel are the proud owners of Tiger Martial Arts Fitness Academy and have been married for 23 years. Together, they lead the academy with a shared passion for building confidence, character, and community through martial arts and fitness.

Mario serves as Chief Instructor and Director of Operations, bringing strong leadership, high-quality instruction, and a commitment to personal growth both on and off the mat. Tamara manages Student Retention and daily operations as Office Manager, guiding families through their martial arts journey, conducting consultations, and ensuring each student’s progress is supported and celebrated.

Outside the academy, Mario and Tamara are proud parents of three children, all of whom have families of their own, and doting grandparents to three wonderful granddaughters. When they’re not at Tiger, you’ll often find them working in their yard, dreaming up new ideas to grow the academy, or welcoming friends and family into their home. Their love for family, connection, and community is the same spirit they bring into Tiger Martial Arts Fitness Academy every day.
