“I was on a business trip in Orlando and dropped into this school for a class. What an incredible experience! Coach Diego was very warm and friendly, made me feel right at home. Every person I rolled with were great partners, and there were no egos. I was impressed even with the white belts: controlled movements, no one was spazzy, and they had great technique. This school must be doing something right! Overall I had a wonderful experience, and if I'm ever back in town I won't hesitate to drop in for another class.“
“My son has been attending classes at 1 Up for a little over a month. I must definitely say this is an incredible place. We were invited out during bring a buddy week and never left. Not only is my son learning techniques and training in the ways of martial arts but he is having fun while doing it. As a parent the gold that caught my eye about this place was the instruction and the lessons beyond the mat that were being reinforced. My son and I also stopped by one evening and were able to observe an adult class too. So, this place is absolutely an experience for everyone. I am overjoyed and proud to say that we were able to find a place in our community that care about it and it’s people like they do. Major respect to 1 Up Martial Arts.“
“I highly recommend Guto Campos Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Academy! Guto is incredibly welcoming and knowledgeable. Whether you're a beginner or an advanced practitioner, you'll find excellent guidance and a strong sense of community here. The facilities are clean and well-maintained, and the training sessions are well-structured and engaging. If you're looking to learn jiu-jitsu, this is the place to be!“

“I started doing yoga almost two months ago and its now something I look forward to weekly. I had never done yoga prior so I was not sure what to expect. Krystal is the most amazing yoga instructor. She truly encourages and supports every student in class based on their individual needs and her voice is so calming which helps way more than you would think. They offer a variety of different traditional yoga practices which is great! Adam is on the BJJ side of the studio and is always smiling when I see him! They make an awesome team!“
“Our 4 year old daughter has been going to Hero Academy. It has helped her to learn to follow directions, be patient, disciplined, persistent and gain confidence. Michael is a best in class coach. I can't say enough good things on his commitment and dedication to the kids in his class. I highly recommend his class!“
“We love Championship Martial Arts. Our boys are challenged, encouraged, and trained in a healthy clean environment with top-quality instructors who truly care and hold them accountable to be their best! I highly recommend them. For reference my boys are 3 and 5 years old. Even in the youngest classes they are taught with patience but also pushed to do their best.“

“Great place to help your kids with self discipline, motivation and boost their confidence. Definitely recommend this place. The trainers are great and Specially Master Chef Villanizar. He’s been helping my son even though teaching a 13 year old on the spectrum is pretty difficult they have clicked very well. I’m so grateful and lucky for finding this place. Thank you Martial Art world.“
“The instructors here are highly skilled and knowledgeable. They care very deeply about the progress of each student and work hard to meet their individual needs and expectations. I highly recommend them.“
“The sensei goes to each and every student to make sure your technique is right. The wife of the sensei is very kind and welcoming to the dojo when I first wanted to spectate and was more than willing to answer any questions I had. The sensei and his wife are VERY skilled in the art of judo. I strongly recommend to go to this dojo. Very kind people running this dojo cant wait to go back!“
“I recently moved from out of state and was looking for a taekwondo school so that I could continue my training. I observed other classes in the area, but once I came to Grand Master Hill’s school, I knew this was different. In addition to being an absolute expert in the art of Taekwondo, Master Hill has a gift for teaching. He gives individual attention to his students and truly understands their potential, so he pushes you to be better than you were the day before. I’ve only been training here for a short period of time, but I can already tell that Master Hill is going to turn me into an excellent martial artist. I am grateful to have found Golden Tiger Taekwondo and highly recommend it to people of all ages!“
“I did a trial period of 1 month and enjoyed every class. The instructors were kind, patient and extremely helpful in displaying correct form, stances and discipline. One instructor in particular ensured every class had a sprinkle of humor while doing the strenuous workouts. Overall, I had a good time. The only drawback during my short stint was the limited adult classes. Quality, A1.“
“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 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!“

“Great School, even better instructor! Frank has the heart and passion of a lion! You’ll love his gym!“
“My first interaction with Top Team was over the phone. The phone was answered right away, and the person on the other line, Xena, was super friendly, knowledgeable, clear, and helpful. When I went to visit and watch a class, she was really just great and made me feel comfortable. The vibe and energy in the space was really friendly and inviting, there was a great lounge area, and even spaces for dogs!The people are really welcoming and friendly! I haven't been a member for very long and I really already feel like I'm part of the team. There are so many different belt levels, women, and practitioners of all ages.Definitely recommend.“
“Don't waste your time & money going anywhere else. The majority of the dojos out there are money grabbing pyramid schemes where you pay to play. Master Nelson is the real deal. He genuinely cares about each and every student. His goal is to make every student the best that they can be.“
“Been training here for 2 years now and really enjoying it. Should have started sooner. Great professors and fellow students. The senior belts have been very helpful along my journey.“

“This is an amazing martial arts school to learn Kung Fu. The instructors are exceptional and my kids absolutely love going.“
“Good afternoon!
I want to make this observation.
My son has been interrupted for almost 2 to 3 years, he had a small accident at his school and we stopped while being with you and it seems to me that it is the second time that I observe an instructor who comes to visit and the instructor is very focused on the students make the positions correctly.
It seems to me that I observe that they need to further refine the positions between that and my son.
I let it be known because my son has enough time and I think it should be this way, it is a humble suggestion, if they do not make the correct positions they should focus more on making it perfect for his development, especially by paying for a very good academy.
Thank you very much for bringing in personnel who help them develop better and demand more from themselves.“
