This company is posting snipe signs around our community. Snipe signs are those little push in the ground, plastic signs that are part of urban blight. As I understand it, snipe signs are **illegal** in Seminole County, and are illegal in Winter Springs. The city and the county spend money each year removing illegal snipe signs. They don't even post the name of their business on the Snipe Signs, which makes me wonder, might they already know Snipe Signs are illegal? Who knows. Bottom line is these signs are illegal, and make our community look trashy. To the business owners, if I'm incorrect please let me know. I'm not perfect, but I see no evidence the sign is not yours. read more

Martial Arts World of Tuskawilla is a Martial Arts place located in Winter Springs off Tuskawilla Rd. I come see my nephew here and had never heard of this place before. Fun place for the kids or even adults to come do Karate and for everyone to stay in shape and be discipline in the world of Martial Arts. The place is small and sometimes when you go to watch it can be packed so get there early , not enough sitting is a big factor but also the parking lot is small.Not to many parking spots available so sometimes you have to park in Taco Bell next door or McDonald's. The classes are quit pricey from what I have heard ($200+) a month and I think that is a bit to much for Karate lessons but my nephew goes three times a week. Also the place smell a bit from people sweating they need some air freshener in there big time even though I know it is going to be like that but at least they could keep the place a bit better for those that go in to watch there family or friends and maybe get a bigger location I notice they have a lot of classes but the place is small and can feel to congested at times. The owner is pretty cool and is a black belt in Karate. I recommend the place if you want to take Karate lessons but I really think they need to move out to a bigger place. Three stars for all the reasons listed above. read more

Robertson Martial Arts - Martial Arts Near Me - Winter Springs, Florida

Been training here for quite some time. So my review is not just someone who came here and was disappointed from a few tries. Martial Arts is a discipline and originates from peaceful monks who at times would need to fight in order to protect their lands. The training is hard and pushes you. If you're NOT looking to be pushed and make improvements in your life then maybe this isn't the place for you. If you wanna learn to push yourself and strive improve then this IS the place for you. I've seen loads of people come through the doors saying they wanna "become a fighter, learn to defend themselves, or wanna get in shape." Well to do all those things requires discipline, something that Martial Arts World teaches as their backbone. There is a review below calling it militaristic...well all I can say is that this is Martial Arts. Have you never seen a martial arts movie before? Did you ever see them skipping to my lou and laughing holding hands down the beach? No, it shows them training, pushing themselves, getting better, and breaking their own limitations. I have seen troubled teens come in and literally change their lives. They went from incredibly low self confidence and anger issues to leading speeches in front of their graduating High School class. All through the training and direction that they received from here. I know this review seems incredibly biased, but what review isn't. I've been training for a longtime and I know what is good and what is bad. I've literally traveled the world and been to hundreds of different Martial Arts schools. However, there is no place like the one here. In that at the things you gain are not only physical, but mental as well. The overall development I've gained from training here has spilled over into so many things that I do. Be it my work or my hobbies, I can attribute my focus and discipline to my training at Martial Arts World. read more

I've practiced martial arts for only four years now and have been a student at two schools, including this one. Even with my limited experience, I feel comfortable saying this school is excellent. Master Robertson, a sixth degree black belt in Tae Kwon Do, and a black belt in several other martial arts, leads packed classes full of students happy to be learning under his tutelage. If you dedicate yourself to learning Tae Kwon Do, Master Robertson will dedicate himself to you. The prices are extremely affordable for a single adult. Yes, parking is limited, but I see this as a good sign: There are many students at this school who care to attend class regularly. I hope this speaks volumes to you as it does to me. If you're looking for a martial arts school that: * Takes its students seriously * Follows the leadership of an excellent and well-respected master and grand master * Employs the best instructors * Maintains a family atmosphere where everyone gets along and cares for each other * And you're absolutely serious about getting a hard physical and mental work out ...Then this is the martial art school for you. Martial Arts World at Tuskawilla has a strong and excellent reputation amongst the other Martial Art World schools. Martial Arts World is great, and I absolutely love the Tuskawilla location and can't recommend it highly enough. read more

I have been a member of this dojan since 2014. I have been through various styles of training from Master Robertson. When I started I was not a flexible person, I exercised but I was no where near as healthy as I am today. I have learned to overcome so many trials in life, so many mental and physical limitations. Reading the negative reviews about Master Robertson, and/or this dojan are in my opinion, exaggerated portrayals from people who didn't spend the time to get to know what they were joining. I have taken martial arts at several other places in orlando over the past 10+ years. Other companies are focused on your money and flare. They are not focused on the art or Tae Kwon Do, self defense, or self improvement. They are only focused on making it a fun atmosphere so that its more of a hobby than a lifestyle. Martial arts is not a hobby to me, it is not something you just pick up when you're bored. Its a lifestyle that you select to improve every aspect of your life. We as Americans have become complacent with poor nutrition, a lack of exercise and discipline. Coming to Master Robertson to learn martial arts (specifically, mostly Tae Kwon Do. which is Korean Martial Arts), is asking him help you with martial arts has to offer. Martial arts offers life changing opportunities that will have positive impacts on your health, both physical and mental. This means he is going to challenge your bad habits. This means he's got to change how you perceive your daily eating and drinking habits. He is going to challenge what you think you can't do, because he has seen the impossible, possible. Being a member for the past 3 years, I too have seen amazing things performed by those of all ages. With various injuries that most live with and allow to control their lives. Master Robertson believes in each of us and wants us to accomplish more. It is all heart and respect from him. Its not a cult as someone mentioned, its a family. Everyone is friendly, polite, and each care about the progress of all members. Some who have dedicated their time and energy to better themselves are living those benefits and want to help others feel the same sense of accomplishments. However, just like other lifestyles that you may try, its not for everyone. If you don't want to be challenged mentally or physically, and feel your lifestyle is fine, maybe this isn't for you. However, i promise you, as much as we think we have it figured out, we don't. We can all be something more, or a little healthier, a little wiser, and learn new ways to approach various situations in life. That is what Master Robertson can offer. But that requires you to accept the help you've asked for and to realize you need something different before you can change. Master Robertson and the instructors are sensitive to each members abilities or lack thereof due to age, agility and health. some of us do have injuries we've come into the dojan with, we have ailments that we've lived with for years. if you communicate that, they can give you different exercises to accommodate your level. however, the goal is to push you past your comfort zone. This is martial arts, this isn't play time at a gym. This is a school where you go to learn about the philosophies of Tae Kwon Do, self defense using various other martial arts and how to create self discipline. The last part challenges most of us and that is why most fail. They can not accept that they should deny their addictions. However, if you ask for advice, if you seek help, if you show up and put in the effort, you can do it. I know because I am a better person today because of Master Robertson and his instructors. I am very flexible now, I have more energy, I am more calm, patient and most of all, I am confident that I can defend myself in this crazy world we live in. Maybe others wanted a flashy place with a big open air location and a easy time. Well, the best teaching you'll ever receive in life comes from small classes in intimate settings. Close to the instructors and getting personal help is what you want. That is what you'll get here. But you're not going to get show boating, flashy martial arts which will never benefit you. You're going to hear philosophy that has been studied and taught for decades, that has proven to have the most positive impact on your life today and you future. Thank you to Master Robertson, he is a friend, my teacher and a family member through martial arts. read more

My family and I started going here with a groupon we bought. We thought it would be a good workout for us and help instill confidence in the little guy. It was a rough start with him being very overwhelmed with the loud noises and limited space but we stuck with it and worked through it encouraging him to stick with it, and work through his frustrations and anxiety. The instructors were warm and nice and everyone seems to genuinely care for one another. Giving hugs to Master Robertson and other instructors. They do seem to have kind of an exaggerated admiration for him though. While he is very nice with children and adults, speaks well and I am sure is very good in the area of martial arts, motivating others and helping people, they spent 2-3 classes (the class before ours) taking about 5-8 minutes to discuss what amazing and inspirational person he is. It was a bit over done, uncomfy and almost "cult like" We learned several punches the first day with numbers ranging 1-6. We practiced and quizzed each other at home very excited that we knew them by number, & name, forwards and backwards. The next day the punches weren't even mentioned but we had a lot more one on one which went well with all of us. The next time we went they were learning a side kick that had a whole new set of numbers (1-3) and many steps. The instructor is Facing you so it is hard to do exactly as you see since it is the opposite. The feel and atmosphere was very "militant" with "if anyone is not doing this correctly everyone will drop down and give me 5 Push-ups and say 'thank you sir'". Little man became overwhelmed again as no one was helping him with how to do the kick and he was completely lost. Other children got one on one instruction but we were just left to our own (maybe because we were only groupon people and did not pay full price?). We discussed asking for help when overwhelmed returning again the next day with a new & determined attitude. A diff instructor now was going over side kicking again but totally different than the person from the day before leaving us very confused, annoyed, overwhelmed and discouraged. In the middle of doing splits they came around, spread our legs further and pushed us down. We are not the youngest Of people. We have accumulated injuries and issues over the years. One of us has fallen from quite a height onto the hip and been hit by a car. I was almost not able to come out of the split as i was stuck and in pain. Then we were told they are going to push us to our limits and make us want to "hate" them but Not be allowed to show this emotion. If anyone messed up or was not in sync we would need to start over. We are active people, kayaking, doing yoga and Pilates several times a week but we do prefer the more gentler, peaceful side of working out while still pushing oneself to do better. After speaking to several other people who do martial arts we were very surprised to learn that what we experienced was not what martial arts is supposed to be like. Yes there is discipline and pushing oneself, while also respecting ones limits, but the berating, yelling, forcing the "yes sirs", and "thank you sir" (for making me do extra push ups), and pushing us beyond what is safe for us as an individual is not what we wanted to get out of it. Thankfully it was a well priced groupon, and though we went in hoping to gain & improve in certain areas, it was not a total loss, as the lesson of self love and respecting and acknowledging when something just isn't working was also a very important lesson. This may be for some people, but definitely not for us and we may now forever be turned off to the idea of martial arts, I have heard it is quite a different approach than other places though. I recommend consider what you like to do, what your style is, going in and watching before purchasing anything or getting a good groupon or discount as it is quite pricey. Our groupon was only $20 for 6 weeks and the uniform. After 4 classes and a great lesson, along with a great costume for halloween I do not feel it was a loss of money. read more

Hands down the best martial arts!!! The dojang is my 2nd home! I've only been training for a year and the bond that we have all built is thicker than blood, we are family! The Robertson's teach you so much more than just self defense, or the next breaking technique, poomse. They teach you respect, self worth, to believe in yourself, positivity! Over the past year I have become stronger, more flexible, cried, laughed, built memories and friendships I will cherish forever! I love you guys and what you do for all of your students! I encourage everyone to try it out. if you have kids, even better! this is a place you can train together! Parents are always looking for "time to go to the gym" what better way to exercise while learning self defense. Start a journey you and your family can both enjoy! read more

The after school program is a joke! Very little training going on, my child constantly came home with homework unfinished because it was too chaotic and loud to concentrate. Kids were left unsupervised, and the final straw came when I walked in to a room full of kids, unsupervised, and one child was choking another with his forearm, and had him pinned against a wall. Choose any other after school program, this one is awful!! read more

I have trained at Martial arts world of Tuskawilla for two years and had a wonderful experience- I tried classes in nineteen martial arts places nearby until I found this one. The instructor has belts in different martial art styles so the instruction is unbeatable. I found other gyms to be just about the money, the classes are more expensive and they try to make you buy all kinds of stuff up front. These instructors actually care about how much you learn, they teach you how to defend yourself instead of just passing out belts. They are in shape themselves and teach real world self defense. If you go three times a week you will have no choice but to be in shape, I lost 40 lbs! Its much easier to work out in a group of people that are supportive and friendly than alone. The best part is that you can come with your kids and stay healthy as a family. read more

I trained at Martial Arts World of Tuskawilla for 8 years and achieved my second-degree black belt! The only reason I stopped was because I moved across the country. Other than my parents and my college education, Martial Arts has been the most positive influence in my life. It taught me discipline, goal setting, and increased my self-confidence tenfold. It kept my much younger sister out of trouble in high school by giving her a group of positive friends to surround herself with outside of the "lets party" high school environment. The instructors are great, and things may be chaotic at times but the best thing is that they truly CARE. I've come to learn that the caring part is hard to find. With that being said, martial arts is not a place for excuses-what it IS about is pushing your limits and moving out of your comfort zone. That's when you'll see results-both physically and mentally. read more

I truly recommend this business for all family members. My daughter is enrolled in the after school program and has made great improvements with school and home life because of the leadership and direction of Master Robertson. I myself have been taking martial arts classes and truly enjoy the Yoga lessons. Everyone from the staff to students, are close like a family and it provides a welcome environment. read more

No one can surpass Master Robertson and the other instructors at Martial Arts World, Tuskawilla! Not only do they care about getting your body in shape, they care about your whole being. My children have been involved with this school, taking part in the after school and summer programs, for almost 10 years now. I can not recommend them highly enough. This is our second family. They truly build you up, mind, body and spirit. There is no other school I would trust my family with. read more

I have trained at The TUSKAWILLA Martial Arts World with my daughters for many years. We started because my youngest daughter was in the after school program and summer camp. Enrolling her in both programs was the best thing I ever did, through martial arts she has learned respect, discipline, self defense and leadership. I believe that it takes a village to raise a child, and Master Robertson and the other Instructors do all that they can to help the children become the best they can be! read more

This is a great place to meet new friends and to get a whole mind and body workout. My son has really enjoy coming here and wants to eventually be come a master like Master Robertson. They have a really great summer program. All of the instructors are great with kids of all ages. read more

I have trained at this school under Master Robertson for seven years. In this time, I have received a level of training that is second to none. This school produces successful people and champions - period. I have seen children, teenagers, adults all come through this place and leave better people that when they came in. Not everything goes perfectly, but any issue that arises is always handled with the utmost professionalism. I've trained in many different schools, and this one is by far superior in terms of instruction, sense of belonging, and curriculum. I know that I will remain a student here, and that I recommend anyone with an interest in learning real martial arts to try this school. read more

I just put my two young daughters in the summer camp at Martial Arts World on Tuskawilla. My kids ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT!!!! Plus as a parent I have already noticed the changes in their manners, attitudes and not to mention they are physically exhausted by the time I pick them up because of all the activities provided. I have been trying to find a facility like this for a long time now that I trust and know that my kids are WELL taken care of. Martial Arts World has personally exceeded my expectations, its a facility that has worked with my budget as a single mother and the hours fit perfect with my work schedule. If you are looking for a great place to put your kids for the summer (and after school) that your kids will be loved, taught respect and discipline and still have a great time every day THIS IS THE PLACE TO GO. read more
