Martial Arts Schools near Lauderdale Lakes

“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.“

“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!“

“The place is big an spacious. They have all the equipment needed. Top notch instructors. Definitely a good place to learn from the best ?“

“My kids have been a part of the tribe for a few years now. My wife and i have witnessed a tremendous transformation in attitude, confidence, and respect. Team Creek is not only a martial arts dojo, but it's a place of learning life skills and fitness. We are so grateful that we are a part of such a great place“

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

“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.“

“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!!“

“My kids have been training at Shotokan Karate Center for almost 7 years now. We are very happy we chose this dojo. The dojo is a not for profit, and all of the instructors are volunteers who really enjoy passing down their knowledge of karate to the students and take an interest in how the students are progressing in their training. I highly recommend Shotokan Karate Center to anyone looking for martial arts training.“

“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“

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

“What an awesome experience!! The energy and welcoming was friendly, really good vibes. The Professor really has a way of teaching that we can understand moves mentally and is very involved in physically correcting all students. Truly a top 10 class!“

“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.“

“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“

“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“

“Our drivers had a wonderful experience transporting the summer camp kids and staff! The kids were well-behaved and the staff was attentive and caring. We look forward to working with you again!“

“I’ve have been attending a couple of the self defense classes they offer on select Saturdays. I can confidently say that the senseis are nothing short of perfect. From their knowledge and their willingness to work with people at all levels. This dojo is a fantastic place to learn valuable and practical skills. It is an honor to be a part of the culture and community they built.“

“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“

“This a very special place. They treat everyone like family. You will love to have your kids there.“

“We have been with Tri-Star Karate for ten years. My kids are older teenagers now and BOTH of them continue to make the commitment to train with Master Wiles. We have always felt like being here is to be part of a family. If you’re looking for more than just a class, but a real connection, this is the place!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“Amazing place for my family to train. The instructors know how to train and work with every type of kid. They can help a wild kid with discipline and bring the shy introvert out of their shell. I have seen my children blossom since training here.The adult classes are challenging, too. The instructors take the time to not only push your limits but also teach great technique too.I trained for many years in New York and compared many schools in the area when I wanted to resume training. This place is top notch and I highly recommend you to call them and try a class.“
