Martial Arts Schools in Sarasota

“Researched a bunch of places but picked red tiger for my 5 year old even though it’s 30-40 minutes away from our house. Only place in the area that offers classes longer than half an hour for kids. It’s been awesome seeing my son’s transformation from his 1st class to his now 7th class. Instructors Nathan, Seth and Master Hwan have been amazing. Each class incorporates the perfect blend of martial arts and lessons about discipline, respect and kindness. Definitely recommend.“

“Siesta Key BJJ changed our son’s life! In two years, he gained confidence and skills that will follow him throughout life. We’re grateful for Professor's kindness and commitment to providing top notch Brazilian Jiu Jitsu training!“

“As a recent transplant to Florida I was looking for a gym to train Muay Thai and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu at so I did my research of the area. I am truly elated that I found Martin Academy. Sifu LaVonne, Coach Ted, Coach Bruce, and Coach Mike are all around amazing human beings. They are beyond kind, knowledgeable, encouraging, and patient (I think I've seen rocks with better motor skills than I have). Training here is truly the highpoint of my day, and I learn just as much from the instructors as I do from my fellow students. It is truly a family atmosphere and I'm extremely fortunate that I have been welcomed into it with open arms. I could not ask for a better place to train. Also Ms. Maddy might be one of the best dogs on the planet, and seeing her at the gym just makes it that much better. From the bottom of my heart, thank you!“

“Our experience has been excellent with Transform! Our son can be shy when trying new things and everyone there was great from the coaches to even a student leaning over to him, and saying I was anxious when I first started too. Now my son is loving it and getting ready to test for his first belt.“

“Wonderful environment where you feel like you have found a new family. A place to unwind and have fun all while you practice and develop this fantastic artistic style of martial arts in the company of some amazing people. Love this place!“

“This dojang is amazing. It feels like a family. I always leave this place with a huge smile on my face!“
