Martial Arts Schools in Gainesville

“Great instructors and great environment. Can’t say enough good things about this gym. I’m a 47 year old beginner in Jiu Jitsu and this team has welcomed me in and helped comfort me in my awkwardness of starting so late in life.“

“I highly recommend this Taekwondo school to anyonr who wants to start or continue martial arts. My 12 year old son has started attending it this summer and I already see a positive impact on his behavior and school work. The instructor Enrique is great, he works really well with kids, motivates them and fosters a safe learning atmosphere.“

“Our family does taekwondo together at this location and we really enjoy learning together. The staff is very positive and encouraging! We had an adult taekwondo birthday party here and everyone had a great time!“

“AMA is FANTASTIC! We live in High Springs but commute to AMA because the people here are just wonderful. Chief Master Valino and the team provide excellent martial arts instruction, but I suspect many schools do that. What has really set AMA apart for us had been the personal attention and personal connection they have with each student. They genuinely care about each student's success, not only in class on their martial arts journey, but in life. They teach practical, confidence-building self defense strategies and tactics- real skills for the real world, but they also do an excellent job preparing students for the formality of tournament competition. The instructors push students to achieve their best, but they do so through positive affirmation and positive reinforcement. I really can't say enough good things about the Valinos and AMA! We are so glad we found this school 2 1/2 years ago and we look forward to many more years of training with them!!“

“We have been going to Pro Taekwondo for over a year now. The instructors and staff are so friendly and encouraging. My son has really excelled in his focus and discipline. He has been so excited to join black belt club and is always ready for class each week. Our family has felt very welcomed into this community and I cannot wait until my daughter is old enough to join as well!“
