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.

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.

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!!

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 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!

I started my daughter at Blue Wave when she was just three and a half and have been going for more than a couple years now starting with the Karate Kubs program. What can I say, Ms Bauer and her posse are absolutely outstanding. What she's created here is incredible, and the way that they have taken my daughter under their wing to help her grow has been huge. If you're looking for an uplifting, positive, and engaging experience for yourself or your little one, you will love it.

i was at the dojo yesterday and was fortunate enough to be able to observe my husband's grandaughter working on her katas. i was extremely impressed how sensei tammy took the class through each one. When someone would forget or be puzzled by the next movement, she would gently , but firmly, remind them how to recall the correct position. Amazingly, each student seemed to be able to finish that particular kata without further help and the others seemed to pick up on what was said also. That to me is a sign of a great and compassionate teacher and i am very happy Sarah is a student at Blue Wave.

Tammy and Blue Wave have changed my life. She has helped improve my fitness level over this past year. Who thought I could do push-ups and burpees at my age! The gym/studio is a very friendly place. Everyone supports each other. Tammy watches each student and offers help when needed. She knows how to push you to dig a little deeper in a kind and supportive way. Highly recommend everyone try it!

This is a great place to learn Tae Kwon Do. My son (4 years old) and I have been training with Tammy for a few months, and she has been a great influence on us. It is obvious she really enjoys what she is doing and feels pride when we succeed. She has great patience with my son. She's firm and consistent with her expectations, yet adjusts calmly on days when he doesn't want to listen. She is motivating and has a positive, approachable demeanor, making this a welcome place to train our spirits and bodies.

Can't say enough good things about this fitness center & owner! I've been attending boot camp with Tammy for almost a year now & have improved my fitness level in so many ways, thanks to her. Tammy is constantly mixing things up & making class fun! I hate missing a class now. The center is very clean, with a wide range of equipment Tammy uses to make class exciting & fun! I love the different classes that are offered throughout the week from boot camp, yoga, core classes, & kick boxing. Overall awesome place to be apart of!

I've been training with Tami for about 2 years now. I can honestly say she is the best fitness instructor I've worked with. Tami has many new classes and options for all fitness levels and she works with each client uniquely. I just love her and enjoy seeing the growth in my fitness level while working out with great people.

Blue wave is great place to workout. Clean and very inviting with a welcoming atmosphere. Tammy is an awesome trainer. She takes the time to assess your technique and adjust it as needed to make sure you are getting the benefit from the workout and preventing injury. The workouts are what I need to stay focused and fit.

What a great new addition to the Edwardsville gym scene. Blue Wave is locally owned and managed by Tammy Bauer, an amazingly versatile teacher , black belt Tai Kwon Do practitioner and personal trainer. I went for the Wednesday evening yoga class with Jeremy Henkhaus. It was a good class for everyone from beginners to advanced yoga students. Give this new LOCAL business a chance to help you get in shape. You will be glad you stopped by!

Highly recommend Blue Wave Martial Arts in Edwardsville! My daughter and I both train here and it's been an excellent decision. Tammy Bauer is an indescribably wonderful instructor!!! She's patient, positive, STRONG(in every definition of the word),creative... The list could go on and on! We always look forward to seeing what more she has in store to teach us. The atmosphere at Blue Wave is very team oriented.. Non-judgmental. TKD has been a incredible challenge that is teaching me WAY beyond self defense. I cannot explain all that goes into it. ❤️
