On April 27, 2011, an E-F 4 tornado ripped through Tuscaloosa, Ala., leaving a terrible trail of destruction in its wake. One of our own, Bailey's Tiger Rock Martial Arts Academy stood in the tornados path. The only thing to survive the damage was the original sign that stood outside, marking where the school was located. After months of training in a rental facility while the rebuilding process took place, the academy reopened in February, holding their first classes on the 11th.
