Martial Arts Schools near Winter Springs

“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.“

“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.“

Under the guidance of Professor Lawrence and the dedicated team of instructors, I've experienced profound personal growth and development.The community at Gracie Barra North Orlando is nothing short of amazing. It's more than just a collection of individuals; it's a tightly-knit family where camaraderie is prevalent. I've forged deep connections, especially with the incredible women who train here, and together, we've become a formidable force both on and off the mats. The support and encouragement we offer one another extend beyond the gym walls, making it a place where growth is not just encouraged but celebrated.Professor Lawrence's passion for teaching and commitment to each student's progress is truly inspiring. The quality of Jiu-Jitsu training here is exceptional. The techniques taught are comprehensive and effective, and the emphasis on fundamentals ensures a solid foundation for practitioners of all levels.

“Can’t believe the difference this place made on our 4 year old son who was always so attached to us and had major separation anxiety! The first time in was tough, for both our son and us as parents because he would cry but the Oviedo Victory team took their time with one on one classes and helped him transition into group classes with the other kids. It took a couple of weeks to settle in but now he lovessss coming here for class! Take your kid here and don’t give up, they will get the hang of it way faster than you think! I’ve seen so many little kids start out crying and not wanting to be there but now they’ve flourished and know all the karate moves. My little guy has fun in class and probably feels so cool doing his karate moves. He’s gained confidence and independence and we love it! Thank you to this place for excepting all kids and making such a difference!“

“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 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've practiced different forms of Martial Arts most of my life (I'm 56).This school is unlike any other experience I've had.I broke my back, spent 10 years in pain, I was scared to move fast, or twist too much. There was a lot of fear in my body and mind. I also knew that I was growing fat, moving less, and my future was going down hill. I needed to do something!The level of instruction, knowledge, caring, respect, and friendships I have experienced at Oom Yung Doe over the last two years is very, very special.I move with a new sense of freedom (I never thought I'd see again). I sleep like a baby, my mind is sharp and focused. I stand with pride and strength.100% of the credit goes to the incredible knowledge that has been passed down over generations, and my incredible instructors.The time I spend training with my daughter has also been a great bonding experience. It gave us more of a common ground, communication, and a different kind of respect and understanding that brought us closer together.I've seen the same drastic improvements with everyone around me. I highly recommend Oom Yung Doe for all ages, and all body types. It is by far the best thing I've ever done for myself.Thank you, Thank you, Thank you,Hank Marcus“

“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.“

“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.

“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.“
