Obviously kids classes are not with the adult classes but the concept is the same. Everyone starts at the bottom and works their way up in skill level. The dojo (classroom) is clean and has plenty of open space for learning and competing. The instructors are all well trained and care about teaching the Double Dragon Karate methods in a safe and structured environment. Parking is free and not an issue as this plaza is never very busy.

Double Dragon Karate Institute is truly a standout in Broward County. It's the largest dojo in the…read morearea, and you can feel the difference the moment you walk in - spacious, professional, and built for serious training. What impressed me most is the traditional and highly structured instruction. This is not a "belt factory" or a commercialized "MacDojo." The training is disciplined, technical, and rooted in authentic Goju-Ryu principles. Classes are organized, instructors are attentive, and there's a clear curriculum with real standards. Whether for kids, teens, or adults, the focus on character, respect, and skill development is evident. If you're looking for real martial arts training in a professional environment, Double Dragon sets the bar high in Broward. Highly recommend.

I wish a NEGATIVE rating was available. Our daughter was a student at this academy for 2 years and…read more9 months. When she started the gym was one of the best in the country for youth training. That did not last long as the focus quickly changed from a true competition gym to more of a cash cow and day care. This gym is the SPIRIT AIRLINES of Jiu Jitsu gyms. Pay for the gear they sell at the gym because you can't wear anything else, pay for belt promotions at $100 a promotion per child, $150 "in-house" tournaments which is only disclosed two weeks prior to the first scheduled tournament, $10 admission per person to watch your child compete at "in-house" tournament, no medals just a cheap red shirt promoting the gym. Training and competition class, "intermediate" to say the least and is an additional $150 a month on top of the $250 for a regular membership - then add privates ranging from $100 to over $200 an hour. Locker room and coaches reek of marijuana. There is no parking, you half to cross a major street at rush hour with your children and again at night after class. You will be told by Vagner that the only way your child can progress and win is via competing and privates. However, Vagner himself does not show up for competitions whether local or not, whether to watch or coach. Jasmine will travel if you buy her a plane ticket and put her up in a hotel and drive her to and from the event with no problem. If you are lucky you will have 1 coach for all the kids and that is if he is not coaching his son at the time. No questioning the training or you will be black listed - isn't YOUR MONEY PAYING FOR A SERVICE?! Coach Adrian will harass your wife via text message stating " to put you on a leash or it won't end well." No cross training or you will be given an ultimatum via text to pick a gym, because they claim to know what's best for YOUR child. Yet, they don't fix the mistakes unless you pay for privates. The staff and owners will claim you are family, and that may be true until the money stops flowing, or you don't do as you're told. Vagner, Jasmine and Adrian will even come over to your house to apologize for an ultimatum given then look your child in the face, apologize to them, claim to love them, only to stab them in the back weeks later when Adrian is being sneaky and getting caught by their student holding privates for free while others pay hundreds and when that 3rd person doesn't show up your child won't be included again. But that behavior is acceptable because the Coach's son has a super fight coming up. Know your child's worth and be careful; it is not what it appears to be from the outside. There are many better options for competitive jiu jitsu in Broward and Dade County than VRMA. If you are looking for EXPENSIVE, intermediate training for your children then this is the place for you.

What I love most about the atmosphere is that you don't have to be anything but yourself and you don't have to be a fitness expert. There are so many different fitness levels, ages and backgrounds of people that are working on themselves for their own reasons and goals. I enjoy how each session is different from the last and the class sizes are just perfect; some days there are 2/3 of us and other times a group of 10/11. It gives a nice personal touch and sense of 1:1 training. I'm looking forward to continuing my personal fitness goals here at this gym.

It is more strenuous and demanding than what I'm doing in Michigan. As a result, I feel stronger. If I am unable to do an exercise, the trainers will modify it or have me do something else.
