We have brought our daughter here since 2012 and she loves it. This is a girl who is not all that…read morenaturally gifted as an athlete and lasted about two months at other activities such as dance and gymnastics. Despite those early flame-outs, my daughter loves Taekwando and it's due in no small part to Kelly, Rick, Brooke, and all of their student instructors who are all excellent at what they do. My daughter is engaged, takes her lessons seriously, and has a lot of fun. Every time she advances to the next belt, she takes great pride in her accomplishment and feels as though she genuinely earned it. When she fails to advance, the Trautweins are there for her and help her refocus and get ready for the next testing cycle. Trust me: your child will work for, and earn their belts. This isn't a Taekwando studio where all of the kids automatically advance through the belts until they reach the black belt, are able to list the "accomplishment" on their college applications, and then quit. You'll find places like that up in Lakewood Ranch. If you want your children to learn a martial art and become a better person in general, this is where you will bring them. I do, however, wish the chairs in the observation area were more comfortable. I mean, c'mon! I've spent a lot of time sitting, watching my daughter over the years. How about some recliners, Rick?!

I have been practicing tae kwon do at Trautwein's ATA Academy for over two years now. I chose…read moretrautwein's because they were recommended by everyone here in Sarasota. The facility is huge, new, and immaculately clean. If you are a germ-o-phobe, then this is the place for you- you could eat off the floors :-) The instructors are kind and encouraging. The entire Trautwein family are such wonderful people, they really care about their students. Mrs. Tomlinson and Mrs. Nguyen are incredible role models as well. I only wish I had started practicing tae kwon do much sooner!

My kids go to Victory Martial Arts Academy - Ruskin well, not anymore. My son tells me today that…read morethe bus driver took them off route yesterday and took my kids to his home, mind you the only 2 kids on his bus are my kids. My kids did not go inside of his house, but the driver needed to see if he had a package. The driver got off the bus and left my kids unattended while he checked to see if his package came. This is the same driver who started to drive off when my kids stepped on The bus without even sitting down and putting seat belts on- so he had multiple complaints against him from me. I speak to the owner today and I tell him it's only right he makes this situation right with me. The owner tells me I should feel bad for the driver because he fired him... Are you kidding me?? This guy literally kidnapped my kids for a little while he went on a joy ride to his house and I should feel bad that he got fired?

I highly recommend Swimm With PASS! Ms. Claire is amazing. As a parent of a special needs child…read morewater is ALWAYS a concern for us and from the moment my son met Claire they had an instant connection. She was able to get him to engage in conversation and build his trust. He is often anxious and meltsdown in new situations or when he feels he will not excel. Claire has worked with him to build confidence and endurance he quickly began the basics of swimming and floating! I can't wait to see how far he will go with is water safety and swim lessons. Ms. Claire is a blessing to our family. We take lessons at the Shapes gym in Brandon. Which is indoors, so weather is not a factor like it is with other outdoor locations. Also, for the swim lessons they allow father's to attend. Parents must stay in the pool area during lessons and cannot workout while their child is receiving lessons. This is great for us so we can learn the techniques as well and use them at home. I do not know if she also teaches at other areas of tampa bay, but she is fantastic with special needs kids and teaching them to swim. Her prices are very reasonable for 1:1 classes. She also will do small group classes. Give her a call, you will not be disappointed! There is plenty of parking available for our location.

Mr. King is incredibly patient, encouraging, and truly cares about each student's growth--not just in martial arts, but in confidence, discipline, and respect. EJ has learned so much and looks forward to every class. It's been amazing to see his confidence build and his focus improve. Mr. King creates a positive and structured environment that keeps the kids engaged while still making it fun. One thing we really love is that they take time to share and teach from the Bible. It truly makes a positive impact, helping reinforce strong values and character in the kids. It means a lot to us as a family to have EJ in an environment that pours into him both physically and spiritually. We're so grateful to have found a place where EJ is not only learning important skills but also being mentored by someone who genuinely invests in his students. Highly recommend!
