“I am happy to share my exceptional experience at Lakewood Ranch Tae Kwon Do. The academy boasts a welcoming atmosphere, where every student, regardless of their level, feels valued and motivated.
Their expertise in Taekwondo is matched only by their passion for teaching. They deliver lessons with precision, ensuring that techniques are not only mastered but understood. Their approach is both disciplined and encouraging, making every class a balance of challenge and support.
Highly recommended!“

“Coach Kevin and his AWESOME YOUTH SPORTS staff are amazing and full of high energy for the kiddos! This is the second school year that my son is enrolled in their after school program and he LOVES it. He doesn't attend every single day, but when he does he is so happy! The staff is always there, even on days like MLK Day when school isn't in session, so as a parent you have childcare so you can still go to work for the day. I would like to thank Coach Kevin and the rest of the coaching staff for all the amazing work you do with the kids. I highly recommend AYS to any parent! ?“

“I have a young son and the teachers are amazing at getting him involved and keeping his attention! They make it really fun for the kids! They also keep the children accountable and keep an orderly class. It’s fun to watch the 5-7 year olds!“

“We live in Taiwan but return to Florida during summers and were blessed to find such a wonderful place for our two sons to train Jiu Jitsu when we visit. Coach Josh, and everyone at the school, makes the boys feel welcome and could not be kinder or more supportive. The boys have acquired new skills and have a special gym they can always call "home." Thanks to all, and see you again next time!“

“Got my girlfriends wee ones in the the classes. Dude is great with the kids and manages the class well. Nice atmosphere as well. Highly recommend for wee ones for sure.“

“Compass is the reason why I've stayed with BJJ. David is a very lively & passionate instructor who tailors every class to those who are in it, and teaches in such a way that explores and expands upon concepts which transcend the boredom of mechanical repetition. The guidance & personalized direction from each & every upper belt at Compass is deeply encouraging & motivating. This school is truly a hidden gem.“

“My son loves Ancient Ways, he always looks forward to going to class! He's getting private lessons now, and everyone is so nice. They also have really fun events, like the recent Christmas party. I'm so glad we found this place! :)“

“This is a small congregation very mixed in age and backgrounds. They are both Jewish and Gentile worshippers. People are very friendly and welcoming. Rabbi greets every person individually on Shabbat. Most of the music is Christian and the prayers are in Hebrew and English. There is pot luck lunch following the service. Perhaps because I live a distance away, I always have a problem finding the building which is undistinguished from any other building in the area. Safety is well covered by trained individuals who remain alert the entire time. I felt safe and nourished there.“
