Martial Arts Schools near Miami Lakes

“This is definitely one of the best places I’ve ever put my son into.

To start off, all the instructors are so friendly and caring toward the kids. The facility is super organized, and you host truly great events. I especially love how you teach the kids and talk to them about discipline.

I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for their kids to learn discipline and Tae Kwon Do. My son definitely loves this place as much as I do.“

“This is a true competition jiu jitsu academy — not a “drop your kids off and let them play” type of place, and that’s exactly why we love it.

From day one, the focus has been on discipline, structure, and real technique. The kids are expected to sit, listen, and learn — and it shows. My children have grown so much, not just in their skills on the mat, but in their ability to stay focused, follow instruction, and push through challenges.

If you’re looking for a place where your child will be challenged, coached properly, and actually develop in jiu jitsu, this is it. The environment is supportive but serious about growth, and the results speak for themselves.

Grateful to be part of a team that truly develops these kids into strong, disciplined athletes!“

“My Son loves training here! The instructors are patient, encouraging, and great with kids. We've seen so much growth in his confidence and skills. Highly recommend this academy to any family looking for a great jiu-jitsu program!“

“Our experience at Millennium Martial Arts Academy over the past five months has been absolutely incredible. From the very beginning, the environment has been welcoming, motivating, and full of positive energy.

Sensei Angel has made a tremendous impact on Nathan—not just in martial arts skills, but in confidence, discipline, and respect. His patience, dedication, and genuine care for his students truly stand out. You can tell he invests his time and heart into every lesson, and it shows in the growth we’ve seen week after week.

We are beyond grateful for Sensei Angel’s commitment and the positive influence he continues to have. Nathan looks forward to every class, and as a family, we appreciate the values being taught just as much as the techniques.

We’re excited and grateful to be part of Millennium Martial Arts Academy and truly look forward to everything still ahead to learn and achieve.“

“Really helpful coaches, especially Javi. Awesome instruction, would encourage everyone to check them out“

“My son recently started at Karate Amarica and since the first time we met at the Easter event they made a great connection with my son. Ms. Dongo and Master Pacheco are truly amazing with all the kids. We have seen a great improvement with our son since he started and that's all thanks to them. They also treat all parents with so much love, kindness and Respect.“

“Brian and Maria are excellent coaches --they are patient and break down bjj techniques in a way that allows you to improve quickly in a matter of months. The people that come to classes are lovely as well, so the overall atmosphere is very welcoming. Having teachers that really care to see your improvement coupled with students that are excited to learn makes this a great martial arts school and a nice place to come to every week.“

“This is an outstanding Taekwondo school! The instructor has an incredible amount of experience and is a top-ranking Olympic Champion, National Champion, and Pan American Champion. He is extremely patient with children and
truly dedicated to their progress. I highly recommend this school to anyone who wants to learn Taekwondo — whether just for personal growth or with the goal of becoming a future champion.“

“Best possible place, for a comprehensive training, for your children, and for you as an adult! In the Miami area there is no better place to learn the wonders of the secrets of Karate. Place to be taught the secrets of Budo. Don't stop taking your children if they need a comprehensive education. There are also after school alternatives and tutors if you have problems with your children's studies. There's Summer! The best Shito Ryu Karate school in Miami. There is no better place. You won't regret it. Space available!“

“This is an excellent school that shows the practical aspects of practicing martial arts, not only in the aspect of self defense, but also to live a healthier and more positive life. Master instills positive values in the students, and uplifts them - showing them they can accomplish anything they work hard towards.“

“We were looking for a place for our son to take karate and visited a couple of schools. Somehow, even though this one is only 5 minutes from our home, we didn’t visit it first—our mistake! It only took us 5 minutes after walking in to sign our son up.

The instructors are amazing with kids and always treat everyone with respect. They make the classes fun while still teaching discipline and confidence.

Highly recommend!“

“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!!“

“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.“

“My son attended the academy for eight years, and his love for Kung Fu continues to this day. The instructors are not only excellent teachers but also wonderful human beings. Over the years, they have become like family to us.“

“Last Thursday, July 14, my car had a flat tire at the door of the Kogeki dojo when I was on my way to the airport to catch my flight to Madrid. Mr. Santaella saw me and came out of the dojo selflessly to help me. We didn't know each other before. He helped me. and changed the wheel of the car so that I could continue my trip and not miss the flight.Mr. Santaella is a magnificent person who did not hesitate for a second to help me.Thank you thank you thank you!!!“

“This is a great place to learn Aikido! Emmanuel Sensei is a superb teacher. He makes the classes fun, interesting, and accessible to all levels. The dojo is in a pavilion at the park and it is a really beautiful experience to practice surrounded by nature. The dojo members are really friendly and helpful.“

“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.“
