“Kailynn enjoys the aftercare here. They run a great safe program for the kids. It is a great group and she is making friends with everyone. Kailynn is learning a lot and working hard to get the next belt.“

“Instructor Melanie is awesome. Super patient and knows what she is doing. Her passion for the sport transmits to the students with discipline and she is still very active in the sport herself.“

“My son has been going to Level Up for over 3 years. He began doing Taekwondo at Level Up after we left one of the “franchise “ schools. We left because my son wanted to increase his skill level and compete in Olympic Style Sparring. This is one of the few schools that offer a true competition team training program as well as traditional classes for those that enjoy the sport but choose not to compete.
They also have a great after school program which is hands down the most cost effective in town. With amazing staff. They even pick up my son from school in their school vans. I’ve had a really great overall experience. The coach and his wife are like extended family when it comes to the kids. They will definitely leave here with a dose of both love and discipline. I really cannot say enough about their staff that on many occasions stay late to go over techniques with the kids. Thanks in major part to this school and their efforts my son has achieved many of his goals in competition and is on his way to black belt soon and has maintained the passion to go in every day excited to be there.
I appreciate Master Alex and his entire staff for everything they have done and continue to do with developing all of our children for the future. We could use many more places like this in our community and I’m glad that I found this one. Thank you!“

“Master Yu and Master Enrique run an amazing team, both my kids love training here. Fully recommend!!“

“Great Academy of Martial Arts and strength building program, coaches are top in their field. very recommended!“

“TKD Family Fitness is amazing! The Kyosanim treats all students with care and compassion (showing me where the word “family” comes from)! I have 2 kids at the dojo and they have received a lot of structure and discipline from
It! Thank you Kyosanim for all your hard work!!“

“Staff is great. Homework is completed during aftercare daily and checked before students can engage in activities. Very affordable prices including school pick up“

“Love this place best thing I ever did was sign up great environment for kids and very family cultured team will always recommend and promote mma science“

“Master Anthony and crew are very welcoming and have been very patient with us. I love to see my son engaging in a sporting environment and most importantly a healthy one. Definitely recommend.“

“The best part of this gym has to be the environment of growth that inspires everyone. It didn’t matter whether it was my first few days or even now, the energy has always been high, motivating me to work harder. The coaches are great, experienced, patient, and always pushing me to my limits.“

“Our daughters (11 & 9) have been attending PMA Plantation for a little over a year and we couldn’t be happier by our decision to choose PMA.

We had checked out a couple other martial arts studios in the area prior to PMA but as soon as we walked in we knew PMA was different.

Our girls were nervous and intimidated their first intro class but the instructors were so awesome about going at our girls pace and making them feel comfortable and welcome.

Our daughters have flourished in so many ways, even outside of martial arts. Particularly for them, their confidence & empathy.

The girls have had the privilege of being instructed by Mr. Neves, Mr. Garcia and Mr. Guerrero. They are awesome instructors and people. They truly care about the students and their progress. And they’re great about giving corrections and critiques in a constructive, positive way. The training is not only instructional but also fun.

The training they receive is not just self defense and technique but also life lessons. They’re tasked with “homework” related to self discipline, team work, etc. Belt testing is signed off by parents and their teacher. That way the students are held accountable for their eligibility to test for their next belt.

I can’t say enough about how happy we are to have found PMA but here are a few more:

-class times and days work for many different schedules

-very much a community feeling. lots of events/ activities to attend/participate in

-Parents Night Out (it’s a Friday night, there’s a theme, parents drop off the kiddos for a few hours of play & fun)

-adult classes available for parents and older siblings

-studio is always clean“

“The Wallace Brothers are the real deal , I had the pleasure of training with them over a decade ago , They care about their students and their trainings are unmatched . They instill wholesome values and provide a family atmosphere for anyone at any age to train . Highly Recommended!“

“I highly recommend Master Bucio and her Academy. She makes sure the children are learning and pushed to their full potential all while children are having fun learning from her. She teaches them the art of Martial arts but also teaches self esteem and discipline. She is also attentive to the family and communicates very well.“

“If you want your kids to learn about discipline in a fun environment. This is the place you want them to go, They’re professionalism, and the way they go above and beyond with the kids it’s amazing“

“Several years ago, my two sons were actively involved in karate at one of the local academies. But unexpectedly for all of us, the owner closed the Academy and went to Japan. This was a big stress for my children, and we looked for something else for a long time to continue, but everything was useless. And our friends recommended us to the Moti Horenstein’s school. I brought the children, and they liked it, and we started our whole path to a black belt from the beginning. Good atmosphere open and friendly teachers, I recommend this place!“

“Great class, amazing atmosphere, and the Master Instructor are the best! 100% recommended ?“

“By far the best place for real jujutsu and striking. Every single coach is personally invested in the children or adults that go there, but they do not make it easy. This is not a participation trophy gym this is where you go to learn to discipline it takes to stick it out and earn what you want if you want the best you come here if you wanna challenge yourself, this is the place to be“

“I have been going to this Dojo for a year and a half and I can say it has been one of the best decisions I have ever made. After visiting a couple other martial arts and mma places, I entered this place expecting a cold and serious undertone. nope. I walk in to people excited to meet me and happy to pass their wisdom on to me. I can confidently say this is a place that I would recommend to almost anyone. With sensei's that have experience in dozens of martial arts styles, decades of wisdom, and an environment that promotes questions and creativity, I can confidently say this is now a second home to me. Heres some of the best reasons to go: 1.Learning from real life experience how to defend yourself in a dangerous scenario. 2.Learning discipline and training through rigorous belt standards that test your physical and mental capabilities. 3.Building strong connections with likeminded people who want to grow alongside you. 4.An environment where respectfully questioning and attempting to understand the validity of something is expected and encouraged. 5.A warmhearted group of people who welcome anyone from any background with open arms. 6.Learning martial arts and the beauty that comes with it through a mix of flow and strong striking. 7. A massive collection of wisdom from different martial arts, sports, backgrounds, and experiences. And men who are willing to help and guide you. 8. Doc, one of the kindest and most knowledgeable men I have ever met. I would definitely say come in and give the classes a try.“

“My brother and sister have been attending these classes for about a year. The sensei is a kind man whi the kids enjoy having fun with. Great place!“

“Coach Carl has a lot of information great teacher sets a great structure got my first TKO win with him and only trained with him for two months“

“Still going strong after 10 years. I started my daughter here when she was just 3 years old. She is now a proud junior black belt. Sensi and the school have helped instill confidence, dedication, physical fitness, responsibility in life and school and - of course - self defense. Sensi Cynthia is tough, fair, and holds every student to their personal best, whatever that looks like. So thankful to be a member of the AOMA family!“

“This business is by far one of the best martial arts academy’s around my son loves Mr Taylor. The pricing is reasonable and affordable.“

“Excellent family atmosphere where leadership and discipline are fostered with positivity.“

“As a long time on and off student of Aikido of South Florida, I'm very shocked at the recent string of 1-star reviews. I question the veracity of the reviews.

I find Aikido of South Florida very traditional and disciplined, which is what I looked for in a dojo. Sensei Stephanie is a very good instructor. She's tough, but patient and caring. She's very straight forward.

The dojo is very clean and has a great group of Aikidokas to work with. The BBQs were great. Aikidokas would come from around the world. That's a great testament to Sensei Stephanie's character.“

“Dear Professor Pedro and Eric,

Thank you for welcoming me so warmly as a visitor from Gracie University Gracie Decatur in Atlanta. I had the pleasure of attending the Saturday class starting at 11, and I was truly impressed by the quality of instruction and the material we covered. It was an amazing experience.

Valente Brothers Jiu-Jitsu is an exceptional school with a fantastic culture, dedicated to teaching and practicing true Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu for street self-defense. I am incredibly grateful to the Valente brothers and to Eric, the brown belt who was kind enough to spend time with a visiting blue belt.

Thank you once again for such a memorable and inspiring visit!“
