Martial Arts Schools in Sarasota

“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.“

“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!“

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

“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!“

“My son has been going here since June 2020. Not only does he take regular classes but he has been a member of the competition sparring team for the last 4 years. When my son started Red Tiger, he had absolutely no confidence and feared everything. Since being a part of the Red Tiger family my son feels and looks at the other children not just as friends but as family as he has been with the same kids since he started. The support system the other children show each other is amazing and the love and support he receives from Grand Master Hwang and Master Starry, make him feel like Red Tiger is a safe place/2nd home. The growth he has had the last 4 years he wouldn’t be able to get just anywhere. They not only teach them taekwondo but instill good ethics, respect and morals. The Red Tiger family have no problem with speaking not only about your child but if you need guidance or assistance with anything else, they are ALWAYS there to help. You really do become family. My son and I love Grand Master Hwang and Master Starry.“

“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!“
