Every time I head down to south Florida I make time to get some training in w Pedro. Great classes, a wealth of information and his format is amenable to your needs regardless of whether you're a beginner or advanced practitioner. A no nonsense approach that can flow from traditional martial arts to more contemporary styles such as Jeet Kune Do, BJJ, Kali, Huk Ju Sool and all relevant arts. Well worth the trip and close to plenty of beaches!

I've had my two sons (age 4 and 7) at Carlson Gracie for over a year now and we have been so happy…read morewith the experience. Every coach we interact with has been so professional, good-natured, and respectful of the kids. I've seen both boys grow so much in their confidence and friendship with the other students as well. The coaches also encourage the older students to help with the younger kids and it means that the boys are getting help not just from the coaches, but from older kids they may not have interacted with before. It's been a really positive experience, and I heartily recommend this Studio to others. When I ask other folks who really know Jiu Jitsu, they all have told me that Carlson Gracie is a highly respected studio to train in.

My daughter has been practicing Kung Fu here for almost 2 years and it has become her absolute favorite place to be. The lifelong friends she has made, and will make, the life lessons, and discipline learned are priceless. Her time here has taught her to face her fears of performing in public that stretch beyond her Kung Fu classes. The instructors go above and beyond their call in every aspect, everyday, and have continued to teach online classes while so many "non essential" business are closed. I highly recommend at least checking out a Kung Fu, Tai Chi, and kickboxing class to see for yourself.

On a path of excellence…read more I was just 18years old when I first walked into USK with my sister to see my younger nephews attend with Mr.Sanders seeing them grow and succeed was always so rewarding I knew one day I would sign my kids up. Now 11 years later and seeing my three year old thrive in USK. I signed up for USK in March , my 3 three year old is showing promising changes. At first I just needed another activity to keep her busy and active. My daughter was the sassy talkative 3 year old who didn't have enough discipline and struggled with gross motor skills. In just four months my daughter has improved so much from being respectful , listening and staying focused to rocking the playground with ninja style confidence. Attending my first graduation for her belt ceremony was so special and beautiful to see the amount of change. I cannot thank USK enough for always helping with any concerns I may have they truly make you feel as a parent you're not alone. I really like how they offer a parents night out it's a fun event for the kids in a safe environment filled with games and pizza definitely helps us parents with some much needed "me" time. The owners David and Jill are so inspiring, the instructors Mr. and Mrs Elie are knowledgeable and caring they focus not only about physical training but mental training too they make it a fun relaxed environment that any kid of any age feels comfortable in. My daughter and I have made a great relationship with the staff and the families. My favorite experience is attending a class in which a title student teaches the class it's so rewarding to see all their hard work pay off it's almost like stepping into a Time Machine and seeing what your little will become in the future. I'm looking forward to being able to see my daughter grow and become apart of an amazing family. A special thank you to the Swat team for always displaying your heart and dedication And a shout out to Mr. Satija and Ms. Susskind my daughter absolutely loves it when one of you teach class.

This place is wonderful; we have been regulars for two years now. We started with aftercare…read moreenrollment after finding another facility wasn't prepared to handle our son's excessive energy after being pent up at school all day. This aftercare provides time for homework, but also offers them valuable mat time to get their energy out and learn valuable life lessons (centered around six core values). We transitioned to summer camp in our first year. Camp usually offers discounts for extended care if you commit to aftercare for the upcoming school year. They have weekly field trips to some very fun spots, including daily trips to a local park to expend their energy. Basic karate (Tang Soo Do) is incorporated into both aftercare and camp, and my son loved the introduction. After a year of hearing our son begging to join Tang Soo Do classes, we finally consented. NO REGRETS! He has been in classes for just slightly under a year and has shown such growth in confidence, respect, strength and self control. The prices are slightly steeper than some other camps or afterschool programs, but you truly get what you pay for here at USK. The staff is caring - it's truly a homegrown family, with much of the staff being former USK members themselves. If you're thinking about USK, don't overthink it; I guarantee you and your child will love this place. Oh, and in case you want a night away from the kids, USK also hosts PNOs (parents night out) for a very reasonable price (kids enjoy a movie, pizza and fun games while you have some "you" time).

As such, the class and instructor were dedicated to satisfying the advanced participants. As a beginner, I was persistently asked if I knew the form yet, after just a couple classes.

Master Li and his instructors are very warm, welcoming and passionate about Kung Fu. I have attended various martial arts schools throughout my life and can say this is the best, most authentic school one can attend. I have been a student here for almost 3 years and have learned various hand forms, weapon forms, fighting techniques, lion and dragon dance along with traditional Chinese instruments. Here you not only learn traditional Kung Fu, but you gain lifetime friends and family.

After three years at another BJJ studio that was not the right fit, we knew it was time to find a…read moreschool that would truly elevate our son's skills and confidence. We were looking for strong competition training, real structure, solid belt progression, and a culture that would help him grow both on and off the mat. From the moment we walked into Gracie Barra Boca, we felt the difference. The environment was organized, professional, focused, and positive. We were warmly welcomed, introduced to Enzo & the coaches, and my son immediately felt comfortable and at home. I love that they had my son sign his own contract. That is super empowering & teaches accountability. What has stood out most is how knowledgeable the coaches are and how clearly they teach technique. They break down skills in a way that makes sense, correct mistakes quickly, and truly pay attention to detail. You can tell they know what they are doing and care about developing strong athletes. My son had a tough first competition experience at his previous school that shook his confidence. The move he lost on stuck with him. By day three at Gracie Barra Boca, that exact move had already been corrected and sharpened. Three days. The level of instruction and focus is impressive. In just a few days, his confidence has already shifted. He walks in proud & excited. He feels capable. He loves being there. I've noticed his confidence spread out into other things in his life from being here. If you are looking for a BJJ school that builds confident competitors, teaches discipline, and provides structured, high level training, Gracie Barra Boca is it. We are so grateful we made the switch!

The entire team takes great care of them. They love the lessons and are learning amazing skills. We have also done Saturday morning family classes, which are an outstanding way to connect with your kids. They tried 6 different camps, and this was by far their favorite. I can't say enough good things about the programs and staff. My kids are 8 & 10 (girl and boy).
