The best martial arts academy you will find in the area! Others might have shiny bells and whistles…read morebut if you're looking for an academy that is a family friendly and the coaches are truly focused on you child's whole development then this is where you need to be. When I say 'whole development' I mean that your child will not only learn the ins and outs of martial arts. He/she will practice the skills needed to demonstrate confidence, communication with adults and peers, showing respect, scholastic accountability, community building, and much more. At Aventura Martial Arts you're walking into a full family support center where you can go to the Sensi's with any issue you might be experiencing and they will work with you and your child to achieve the results you want, or at least to get closer to that light at the end of the tunnel! I would highly recommend them to every family.

Cannot go wrong with coming to this place.

Before joining Aikido of South Florida, I had done 2 years of Tae kwon do in my elementary school…read moredays but I lost interest, primarily because the environment was so competitive and rarely touched upon the self defense aspect of martial arts and I eventually moved on. I didn't really have any intention of doing martial arts again. Years later, I visited the ASF dojo and sat in on multiple classes. Just watching and observing the students(as well as Sensei) was enough to count me in! Joining was probably the best decision I could have made for myself. I fell in love with everything about it. My first day on the mat, The Sempai (higher belts), were more than happy to assist in getting me up to par with the rest of the students. The style of teaching makes it beneficial to everyone, wether you've been at it for years or you're just beginning, you still learn and make progress. Sensei not only does a tremendous job at teaching the little things but she also provides a sense of trust within me, and I know I am getting the most value out of each and every class. Everyone treats each other like family and I always look forward to training every time I go. The high energy and intensity can be challenging at first but it's a method of getting you to become calm and in control of your environment when times get tough. I always had this fear of failure or making a mistake during classes, this fear was detrimental to succeeding both in real everyday life and on the mat. But the mistakes you make on the mat are, as Sensei likes to express, "Better in here than out there". Training in the dojo has helped free me from that fear and lead me to positively grow as an individual, and just understanding the worst that can happen is you mess up and the only way you fail is if you stop trying. We are all diverse people with different journeys and paths. But by training in the Aikido of South Florida dojo, you'll not only be taught by the best instructor in South Florida dedicated in making sure you have a secure place of practice but you also join others who wish to better themselves in some way or another, just as you do. - Jean Venise Capricien

I cannot begin to say how incredible this gym is. I dropped in as a blue belt from NJ to take a…read moreprivate class with Professor Carlos and wow! I didn't know what to expect given that I had the opportunity to train with a coral belt, and was nervous about being judged or not measuring up to established expectations. I was welcomed to his gym as though I had been training there for years. I never once felt judged, criticized, or anything negative that I may have received from other gyms around the country. Professor Carlos not only helped me to fine-tune the techniques that I currently have under my belt (pun intended), but also taught me better ways to execute some of the escapes and sweeps that I already had learned. His style is very technical driven so leave your strength at home and keep an open mind that being physically strong will only take you so far in his class. I truly cannot wait to come back and train here when I visit South Florida. If you have an opportunity to train with Professor Carlos DO IT!! **HINT** **HINT** Being humble will take you far, and will open a world of knowledge and opportunity from one of the best technical fighters in this country. Respect goes a long way and respect goes both directions.
