Martial Arts Schools near Dania Beach

“My 3 year old loves the classes and her instructor, Ingrid. Ingrid is great with small kids. She suggested we revert to mommy and me classes for a bit when she struggled with the toddler class, and she was right. Now my daughter has a grasp of the basics and looks forward to her weekly class. There’s a lot of variability with the schedule and the drop in classes work for us.“

“My toddler absolutely loves coming to TKD! The atmosphere is high-energy, welcoming, and perfect for burning off some of that 'threenager' energy. Highly recommend this school for anyone looking for a great activities. They just don't teach TKD, they teach strength, to listen and respect. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“This isn’t just an academy. This is what we call home. We came here looking for a gym but came out with a family instead.
From each coach to members you will feel the want to grow better everyday. You will be push to the highest version of yourself and that’s what happened to me. The Rocha family will always have a spot in our hearts because of how much impact they have had in our lives. We thank you. Our faith has grown so much stronger because of them.

Coach Adrian and Coach Jose will always push you to your true potential. And the vast amount of knowledge they have of Jiu Jitsu is incomparable to any other academy out there.

High level kickboxing classes with coach Mike kept me wanting to come back because of his care to his students.

We love Vagner Rocha Martial Arts and proud to represent them everywhere we go ?“

“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!“

“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.“

“I wasn’t sure when the instructors changed about 3 years ago, but I was really happy with what I saw. My son was learning new techniques and skills which kept his interest in continuing his journey. He is now working on his 3rd degree blackbelt.“

“This school is great! Master Anthony is so hardworking and is always making sure that kids enjoy their time and are being taken cared of.“

“A safe and clean space to send your child. I have the utmost pleasure of witnessing how amazing and kind Master C is. He truly cares about our children and I see the work he puts into making sure our children have a fun and safe place to grow and enjoy themselves. I am new to Fight Lyfe and I needed a new aftercare/summer camp when my child's aftercare/summer camp closed down in the middle of the summer. When I spoke with Cori his infectious love for what he does was so apparent over the phone, that I just had to meet him and also check out the place. He is so warm and welcoming, which put my heart at ease to know that I found a place that has someone who thinks of my child as their own so as he says we will coparent. I LOVE THAT because I know when I drop my child off she will be living her best life safely. I don't mention much about the karate because my daughter is new to this style of karate and she is learning but it is a great space with wonderful people and a precious little mascot☺️. I look forward to the 2025-2026 school year and being a part of this wonderful, caring community. Thank you Master C for all that you do and all that you will continue to do to enrich the lives of the children and parents/guardians. It has truly been a pleasure.“

“I’ve been a part of Atemi Ryu Jujitsu for sixteen years now and I have never seen a more intense dojo that pays as much attention to detail as we do. Grandmaster Chenique and Grandmaster Auturo (among other instructors) really know how to push someone past their limits and get the absolute best out of them. It took me almost 7 years to get my black belt but that’s what you want. It’s not the type of dojo where you just pay your money, show up to class and then they just hand you a belt. You have to earn it…the old fashioned way!!

I love the tradition, structure and organization of this dojo, as well. I can assure you that if you listen to the instructors, trust the techniques they teach you and give it your all, then you will walk out of there feeling extremely confident in your ability to handle yourself against anyone or anything and make it home to your family.

An awesome dojo, indeed. Ooossss!!“

“Evolution Martial Arts completely changed my life. I got more in shape, became more confident, gained so many great friendships, and became more mentally disciplined as well. They have amazing classes and instructors. Classes are for anyone ages 4+ and they even have an afterschool program and camps several times throughout the year.“

“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.“

“My son has been attending this school for several years now and Sensei Ruiz and staff are very respectful and passionate about their work. Your child will build self esteem, confidence and skills needed to defend themselves in today’s society. Kids are rewarded based off attendance and progress and afforded the opportunity for one on one guidance by others who have traveled the path they’re on, so it’s not just one teacher, it’s several passionate individuals there to guide and mold your children into learning confidence, respect and discipline.“

“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.“

“I’ve learned so much from this place in a matter of 5 months. I’m really happy here!“
