Fabin Rosa is talented and showed a technique in the class that I will not be forgetting and will implement in my jiu jitsu. Cannot stress enough that if you're in the area, you NEED to visit this gym. Beautiful people and beautiful atmosphere. I felt very comfortable here“

On top of that the entire FRBJJ family encourages growth in the sport and each other. Cannot say enough good things about this gym.“

“I can't say enough good things about this establishment ! The staff (Adam and Krystal) are absolutely amazing—welcoming, knowledgeable, and always ready to help. The environment is positive and inclusive, which made it easy for me to feel comfortable from day one. Whether you're there for yoga, jiu-jitsu, or just to be part of a supportive community, this place truly stands out. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a great space to grow, move, and connect!“

“Exactly the place to go. Great leadership wish we had more time there. Great with kids which is rare to find.“

“I decided to take BJJ for self-defense. I tried one class and was hooked! Needless to say, I am honored to have become a part of this academy. I am new to the art, but with every class I become more and more passionate about it! The instruction is second to none?Professor and Teacher Kelly are AMAZING! I highly recommend!“

“Legacy has been a great experience for our two girls (5 yo and 7 yo). The instructors are professional, knowledgeable, on time, and great with kids. I'd definitely recommend this taekwondo academy.“

“Everyone is super helpful, and wants to grow as a community. Everyone is kind and very insightful, they will help you improve to levels you never thought you would be able to. If you have the slightest interest in Judo, this is a place for you.“

“Grand Master Hill is a wonderful instructor to my two kids (ages 6 and 11). He's patient and kind, but also serious and effective in his methods. So glad we found Golden Tiger Tae Kwon Do!“

“Since enrolling my 6-year-old at 1UP, I’ve witnessed a remarkable transformation in both his confidence and self-control. He's more assured in expressing himself, handling situations with a sense of calm that I hadn’t seen before. His newfound ability to manage his emotions and think before reacting has been a breakthrough, showing just how much this environment has helped him grow.

As for my 12-year-old, the impact has been equally profound. He's surrounded by positive male role models who not only set a high standard but actively engage with him, offering encouragement and guidance. These influences have completely shifted his perspective, motivating him to take charge of his actions and decisions. The changes in his attitude, responsibility, and overall behavior have been incredible. He's inspired in ways I hadn't anticipated, and I attribute much of this progress to the positive atmosphere and mentoring he's received at 1UP. This program has truly made a difference for both my children.“

“I recommend this place for anyone who wants to improve physically or mentally. I can see my son’s progress over the last few months. I was inspired by Master Robertson and joined classes myself. I am still conditioning my body but my spirit is in much better place already. I feel stronger, empowered and proud. Thank you, the entire Team is the best!“

“Amazing place for kids, teens, adults and families! A great team of instructors who love what they do!“

“I love going to Life Martial Arts! The teachers are super nice and make learning fun. I’ve made a lot of friends here, and we all help each other get better. Every class is exciting because we learn cool moves and get to practice them in a safe way.

The best part is how strong and confident I feel now. The instructors always cheer us on, and I’ve learned how to focus and not give up. I’m even doing better in school because of what I’ve learned here!

If you want to learn awesome martial arts and have fun at the same time, Life Martial Arts is the place to be. I can’t wait for the next class!“

“I am a regular at Shindai, and I love the place and the people. I studied aikido (and karate and judo) briefly many decades ago, and returned to aikido a few years ago with my wife, who had never done any martial arts. The quality of instruction here is amazing -- and we've developed friendships and had great times with the other students. If you've never tried martial arts, or if you have but are looking for an art that will help you every day, aikido may be what you've been looking for. It was for me.“

“I just want to say this place is awesome my two boys go here after school along with being in the karate class. Mr. Aquino is great with the kids shoes discipline with which helps me with my boys because it helps keep them in line . I greatly appreciate this place. Yes covid had paused the classes for a point but now they are back at it..I recommend this place 100%.. thank you Mr. Aquino again...“

“Great School, even better instructor! Frank has the heart and passion of a lion! You’ll love his gym!“

“I did a few kickboxing classes and it's one of the best gyms I've ever trained at. Everyone is super friendly and welcoming. The class itself was super informative and definitely a workout. A great place go if you're looking for an MMA gym!“

“I joined the women’s-only Jiu-Jitsu class a couple of weeks ago, and I’ve loved every second of it! It’s rare to find a gym that offers a class like this, and I’m so grateful to have found it. Professor Sabrina is incredibly respectful, patient, and kind—she takes the time to guide you through every movement and is always happy to answer questions. The women in the class are so welcoming, which made starting BJJ with zero experience much less intimidating. Seeing women of all ages training together is truly inspiring—it’s never too late to start! Couldn’t rave about this place more.“

“Master V is amazing, his patience and dedication is unmatched, my daughter is enrolled in the after school program and cries to stay longer. She is picked up from school and not only is she having fun but she is learning fundamental life lessons, inner strength, inner voice and courage to stand up for what's right, I can not say enough good about Martial Arts World.“

“I walked into a gym with my girls, we trained, and now we have extended family 7 years later. The instructors are great people and some of the best practitioners in Central Florida.“

“If you care about your fitness, real boxing skills, great personalized boxing training from kids, to adults, to professional boxing and women self defense, you need to come here. I got my nephew my sister and I with different fitness goals coming to Legacy and we are more then happy we get to find it all in one place. Definitely recommend. Coach Nelson is the Man!“

“My daughter loves taking lessons its like her number 1 goal to get to black belt and most likely stay after that she just really loves going. Master Nelson is the real deal he cares for each and every student but like every time she gets a stripe it just makes her day! But seriously he is the big deal not to harsh on them but not to soft on them?“

“This is an amazing martial arts school to learn Kung Fu. The instructors are exceptional and my kids absolutely love going.“

“Visiting family in town and wanted to drop in for a class. Everybody was incredibly welcoming and I had a really enjoyable experience. Would 100% recommend trying if you are local or a visitor. If I ever move to Orlando the first thing I will do after unpacking is sign up here.“

“Very welcoming place staff is amazing! Great place to bring your kid or yourself to learn self defense, get in shape, and meet amazing people! Reasonable prices and have a snack / smoothie bar !! Highly recommend“
