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.“

“Amazing school and community! Professor Vieira has really created a special place for our kids. Our son has found his love of Jiu-Jitsu again and we could not be more thankful for all the coaching and mentorship he has been given.“

“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!“

“I enrolled my 12 year old daughter here in the Teen/Adult classes and it has been the best experience for her. She is physically active now, shows respect at home on a new level, and has made new life long friends. All of the Instructors are great with kids of all ages and it is a fun, safe place for your kids to grow, and become a person that THEY love, and OTHERS respect. If your child can walk, talk, and is curious about Taekwondo, sign them up! A two week trial never hurt anyone!SIDE NOTE: I also joined Red Tiger’s Adult classes 1 month ago. I am having a blast at 46 years old and learning so much each time. My energy level is much higher now, and my body is starting to feel much younger. I did not realize how out of shape I was until someone told me to kick something. That will wake you up! We are here for life now and I am so glad to have found Red Tiger!“

“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!“
