I have trained with multiple people and have experienced many great instructors throughout my time in martial arts. Master Anta by far is one of the most experienced and dedicated instructors I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with. The level of knowledge and commitment to excellence is astounding in this field and if you should ever get the opportunity to learn from this great man please do not pass up the chance of your life to learn from the best!!!
My son has been going to this school to learn self defense and I am proud of the development in his skills as taught by his instructor, Mr. Anta. Even my husband is taking self defense classes. The atmosphere is not for the weak hearted. They’re churning out little soldiers in this place. In my opinion, that’s what this world needs right now. Continue your great work Mr. Anta. Thanks for all you do!
I've been part of the Antas Fitness and Self-Defense family for over 5+ years, and the experience has been outstanding. The instructors are remarkable, offering expert guidance all kids could benefit from. My son has grown immensely in skill and confidence, and I've personally benefitted from the diverse activities offered as well. The atmosphere is welcoming and supportive, making every session enjoyable. Highly recommended for anyone seeking top-notch martial arts training in Doral.
I enrolled my son in this martial arts school at the beginning of this year, and he has learned to defend himself and not only just that, he has learned to maintain self-discipline, great environment!
Mr Antas es el mejor profesor, sus clases son excelentes, siempre nos enseña disciplina, compañerismo. Las clases de muay thai con kickboxing aprendes mucho, te.eseña del autocontrol, es muy comunicativo, comprensivo. Mr Anta es una persona con buen sentido del humor, en las clases que imparte siempre hay buena energía, aprendes desde el control mental y control corporal. Excelente 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯. The best
Flew from NC to take a shooting course. It was very informative. Instructors are true professionals. They made safety a top concern while making sure material was covered. I feel it was well organized and I look forward to attending another in the future. Worth the trip for sure.
Excelente (año 2021), con toda la verdadera filosofia de las artes marciales. No me lo esperaba. A mi hijo le ha hecho muy bien y se siente integrado, nunca habia sido tan constante en algo en su vida, es alumno por varios meses, hasta perdi una apuesta con el pensando que no duraria mas de 2 meses. Estoy muy agradecido de haber perdido la apuesta. Veo alumnos con alguna condicion y son bien integrados y todos se tratan con respeto. Agradecido de encontrar un lugar asi. Los felicito. Continuo en 2022 afirmando esto. Mi hijo ya lleva mas de un año y medio..
Truly an amazing place to train. If you’re looking for a place to take your kids if they’re being bullied this is it. Not only for little kids, but teenagers as well. As for myself, in only a month it has taught me the bases of how to defend and strike properly.
I really like this place. I have gained a few pounds of muscle, and I know how to defend myself much better from bullies trying to harass me. I also know how to defend myself now in things like gun, knife and baton fights. Mr. Anta has taught me a lot of phycological things as well, like learning not to budge when screamed at, or to take discipline as a learning opportunity. I definately recommend going here and taking classes. 5 stars!
Far best martial arts school in Doral. Strict discipline, encouragement & professional programs. Results are reflecting in our every day lives, from strength, personal growth, chores and school grades. With Mr Anta, there is no sugar coating. He makes kids bully proof and as confident and you want them to be. My son is enrolled in several programs and going strong for 2 years now.
My son has been here for a couple months and so far it has been an awesome experience. Mr. Anta focuses on teaching him real moves that can be used during an actual fight and they also do sparring classes in which the students practice these moves together. Mr. Anta teaches the kids skills that can be used in all areas of their lives. My son asks to work out more and looks forward to come to class every single day. He refuses to ever be late!
Great training facility to learn realistic self defense. Welcoming environment and kind people! Julio runs a great program!
The best place in the city to train! Professional instructors who can teach beginners or advanced, children and adults. I highly recommend you stop by and check them out - you will not regret it.
Excelente instrucción de parte de Julio Anta! Mas que enseñar Artes Marciales, ayuda al crecimiento personal y autoestima en los niños.
Anta's Fitness and Self Defense is an excellent school which provides outstanding and real training to resolve various types of confrontation. This school is highly recommended to anyone who is looking for martial arts, self defense training.
My name is Marcos Peternela and I am a student under Mr. Anta since 2014. My 2 kids and my wife also are training at the same school. That is an amazing school very family oriented and really cares about their students, the teaching method considers physical training and also the mindset necessary to deal with bullying situations. Nice place to get fit!! I strongly recommend.
I am very happy to be a student and now a helper giving classes with Mr. Anta. I started about 6 years ago with my son and wife. Last year at 59 years young I obtained my black belt in Muay Thai. My son is on his way to obtain his. I also take classes for Krav Maga. It is great. My family will be a student for life, if you do not use it you WILL loose it. Come join me with your family. You will not regret it. God bless.
Great place to bring your kids and teach them how to defend themselves
Anta’s Fitness is an excellent place with a family air. They work in children’s self confidence, focus and healthy lifestyle.
My son has gained more confidence and martial arts skills. He also has learned life lessons from someone who has experience in different scenarios and who has dealt with a diverse group of people due to his background and expertise. Since being in Anta’s martial arts school he has been more motivated, disciplined and driven than ever. Thank you Mr. Anta, for being a part of developing his talents!
Excellent place to learn Muay Thai kick boxing. My son is going over there . He improved a lot in terms of self defense, techniques, focus and work out. I like sparring and work out sessions a lot. Special thanks to Mr Anta and staff for their training method and techniques.
Anta’s Fitness and Self Defense will not disappoint, he has an amazing ability to relate to all age levels and builds an incredible rapport with all levels. This is the only place I would want to train. With his experience in the martial arts, self defense and the instruction he gives to all of us, I feel it has added to (and increased) my skills as i step out into the world with an awareness of my surroundings, the confidence to be a leader, and the ability to set goals to achieve my dreams.That alone will benefit me in countless ways for many years!!! Students learn about relationships, leadership, hard work, dedication, commitment, and positive character development. The owners/instructors "walk the talk" and "lead by example".
An amazing school, with the most knowledgable instructors, motivational skills like no other school i have experienced. Antas was my home for many years and I not only felt empowered as a woman but blessed to have been apart of Antas Fitness and Self Defense.
a great place to go for a good workout and techniques that help you in real life. i’ve been going for about a year now and i’ll genuinely say my health has improved a lot. love the place and planning to continue going till i get my black belt
Great training, fighting techniques and training partners, Love training in Antas🙌
I started the program about one and a half year ago and The program has not only helped me physically but mentally by teaching me disciple, respect, self confidence and passion for martial arts. Mr. Anta and his wife are very recognized and respected.
Excellent academy. My son loves the place. Thanks Mr. Anta for teaching our kids😊
Mr. Anta is an inspirational master and helps the kids get motivated and indistractable . He is very friendly and strong motivator.
I am very happy and calm with Anta’S School for the education given to my son ,they teach him to believe in him and to defense himself. Thank you so much 😊
I have had the pleasure of seeing Mr.Anta and staff working with children and adults of all ages, "INCREDIBLE" is not enough of a description. The dedication, discipline, ethics, moral aptitude that is shown and taught is superior to any other school. Will definitely continue to look for more inspiration from this school
We are proud to be part of Anta's family. My 5 years old son, Santi, loves every class and enjoy his time here. He has improved in so many things, he's more focus, independent, self confident... the list is long. Anta's ways, discipline, lessons are thoughtful. Mrs Anta's is adorable and all teachers are great.
It is a pleasant experience for my son and my family! My son has not only acquired more concentration in school and daily activities, also more confidence in speaking and expressing himself with others. He has learned a lot in this time Mr Antas is a teacher with the wisdom of the ancients but with modern methods of teaching and overcoming. My son enjoys every minute at Antas Martial Arts and his discipline takes him home and school too. Grateful. God continue to bless Mr and Mrs Antas and all team that accompany them.
They have taught me on how to properly protect myself and how to have more confidence and have been improving my shape
Buen lugar de aprendizaje defense. ataque y disciplina, Muy buen programa para nos en situacion de bullying. les dan mucha confianza
My son has been to Anta’s for a year. He started when he was four. I see his changes through the year. From a shy little boy to a brave little warrior. Thanks to Anta’s for providing such a great place to train our little ones and prepare them for the real world.
Es una experiencia y excelente atención con cariño, y enfoque, ha ayudado a mi hijo a ir creando disciplinas, valores, seguridad para que sea un niño mejor
This is not a tradicional martial art place It is an amazing place where children learn how to Focus and defend themselves from bullying at schools it had made a positive impact on my daughter’s life I personally recomend this place to everyone
Excelente lugar, a mi hija le encantan sus clases, esta aprendido a tener más seguridad en ella misma y a defenderse. Gracias!
Our Child is stronger than ever, Mr.Anta’s show respect for the students and he teach all about real life situations and techniques.
Such a great and highly recommend place for martial arts training. My 3 siblings love to attended their classes. Watching them become more motivated and skilled with the help of Mrs. Anta and Mr.Anta.
Excelente escuela, recomendada 💯 y agradecida de antemano con toda la atención que le prestan a los niños.. me han ayudado con todas las inquietudes que he podido tener y a mejorar algunas áreas de mi niño... los niños avanzan mucho se sienten más seguros! LOS RECOMIENDO 100 %
My daughter loves it here! Professional friendly staff.. Highly recommended
This Martial Art school is the best. Very helpful in self defense. Great workout !! All the staff are wonderful. And the owners are very well know and respected. I highly recommend this school if you want to learn how to defend yourself and gain discipline.
Anta's Fitness and Self Defense is a great place to train. It has helped me live fit and fearless. Antas fitness is a life-changing expirience. Mr. Antas and Mrs. Antas are an Astonishing team, they treat you with kindness and they give you a heart-warming expirience. However they push you to the limit and they won’t give up on you. I Highly recommend this school, it is awsome!
I give Anta’s a five star review because it has changed my life in so many ways.One reason is because it has got me fit and helped me learn how to defend myself if a bully attacks me.Another reason is that it has helped me in the career that I want to do in the future, which is becoming a UFC combat fighter.It also helped me learn how to use weapons like nunchucks and sticks.It helps me focus more than I use to before I found out about Anta’s.It is hard but at the end of the day it was worth it. By:Brandon Garcia
Anta's firness has helped me alot by focusing and paying attention. Alos it has made me more fit and srong. I love this place and i think i would stay hare for a very long time.
Mr Anta is a big motivator. Apart from the martial arts my kid is learning , he is learning values of life. Great experience!!
Great place for martial arts training. Kids enjoy learning. New challenges coming up to keep the spirit going 👍🏻
An awesome place to guide your child to focus and discipline, teach responsibility in a healthy way, to get over stage fear, to face day to day challenges, to stand up for himself. An overall self development program.Have been with them for more than 2 years and I can see my son bloom. Thanks to their dedication💪👏👏👏
They have worked serious MAGIC with my son, who had started the program when he was 4 years old. I can see lot of improvement in him. He is more discipline and focus kid. Great staff.. Mr. Anta is best teacher and great example for kid.
Great mixed martial arts studio that teaches kids of all ages all about discipline, focus, confidence, and self-defense. My son has grown so much since starting at Anta's and has been exposed to so many different techniques like boxing, muay thai, jeet kune do, jiu jitsu, etc. The hard work he's put in for every achievement earned has taught him so many important life lessons. Adult classes available too. Highly recommended!
Antas has helped my son be strong physically and mentally.He has learned to follow directions and be more self confident.He has gotten better grades and has been very focused over the years.He made more friends and is very happy.He learned to not be afraid and can stand up for him self and others.
la escuela es muy profesional y enseñan como mucha pasión a los niños. Mi hija logró focalizarse en sus estudios y va muy entusiasmada a las clases. Gracias !!
Mr. and Mrs. Anta's, together with their team, their dedication to their students is definitely amazing. I am very satisfied with the progress my children have shown in such a short time they have been attending to this training program and definitely recommend it.
Very good experience. I really like that the lessons are very applicable to day to day experiences. Really loving the indistractible challenge as it enhances learning for the kids, and more quality family time. Their lessons include discipline, focus, listening, physical activity and preparing to defend themselves. I already see that my Ethan's confidence has gotten better but simply projecting his voice and getting out of his comfort zone by sparring.
I been taking my son this past year and I seen an outstanding difference. Best MAA in South Florida and outstanding instructors.
I can’t say enough positive about this place. I took the adults Krav Maga classes. They were both useful and a great workout. The environment is positive and the instructors work with you until you fully understand the move. The vibe is positive and the place, including the mats, is clean. Highly recommend it.
Mr.Anta and his wife are such wonderful people and there classes that they teach are amazing. They push you to the limit and they won’t give up on you. I loved when I use to attend his class and encourage anyone else to give it a try it’s very intense but well worth it.
Our daughter has been attending classes at Antas for over a year. She absolutely loves it. All of the instructors are great working with kids. In the process of teaching them Martial Arts they help develop self confidence, focus, concentration, balance, coordination and team work which provide a great foundation. We are very pleased and impressed with Antas and its instructors. Looking forward to our younger daughter starting soon. They also provide great fitness and Martial Arts classes for adults. Great place with great people. Highly recommend. 👍👍
A place for both my kid and myself! Karate for the kids and Fitness bootcamp for grownups! Love the staff!
Excelente escuela y equipo de trabajo. Logran descubrir y sacar el potencial de cada estudiante. Mi hijo le encanta, se siente seguro. Gracias por saber sacar lo mejor de mi hijo y por enseñarlo a creer en si mismo y a NO RENDIRSE NUNCA!!!
Es una excelente academia donde dan una disciplina muy buena para la educación de los niños en situaciones de la vida diaria.
My younger brother and sister attend here. They have learned confidence, self-esteem, new self-defense techniques against any dangerous situation, and they have become more physically active thanks to their amazing instructors.
If you want your children to learn focus and gain self esteem this is a place to bring them! Mr. Anta and Mr. Arcia are no nonsense down to the core focused solely on the kids and their growth. They offer several different packages and easy payment plans which was a true blessing for moms on a budget like me!
I have visited other locations but this one is the one that stood out the most. Don't hesitate to participate here. Excellent instructors.
excelente trato para con los ninos , mi hijo esta muy contento con todo lo q esta aprendiendo en las clases,mi hijo y nosotros estamos felices
Best MMA school in South Florida !! Antas and it’s wonderful instructors have change my sons life . He has become a confident , brave and very disciplined child. They have not only taught my son how to better protect himself and built his self confidence but have taught him the value of a healthy and active lifestyle. Mrs Antas has offered her guidance in dealing with issues we have faced with school and has become a wonderful source of support. The activities they often plan in which we parents can participate have provided additional source of knowledge and opportunity to make this journey a part of our family’s journey.
100% Recomendado!! Mi hijo Cesar Vazquez tiene un antes y un despues desde hace 3años que recibe clases en Antas, su comportamiento, su actitud y su vision antes la vida ha crecido favorablemente, no solo es entrenamiento fisico sino tambien de animos autoestima y liderazgo!! Aqui encotraras una gran aliada al creciemiento de tu hijo. Atte. Katiuska Asuaje
Built confidence, built strength in my boys! As a mother of two boys in a world full of uncertainty, I wanted to be sure my kids were given the appropriate skills to face what may come. Further, being a mother of an autistic child, I wanted to be sure his confidence and ability to protect himself would stand strong. Antas was the answer to our concerns and provided us with exactly what we were looking for. My boys have been attending classes for the past 3 years. We started with their summer camp program which not only did the kids LOVE but I, as a mom, was extremely impressed with. It was very well planned out incorporating fun themes & activites to appeal to the kids while teaching them how to live a healthier lifestyle. Since then they've worked hard learning important self defense tactics along with their Shaolin Kung Fu and mixed martial arts skills while building their confidence and strength. They are now both blue belts on their way to working towards their goal of reaching black belt. I myself have attended a variety of free workshops that they provide from time to time. Their active shooter training seminar and Krav Maga demonstrations were especially helpful. I would highly recommend Antas for anyone looking for a school that provides Martial arts, self defense and/or fitness classes for children and adults.
Besides the mixed martial arts and self defense classes, their great success lies in changing lives teaching the kids that values is what make a human being honorable. Way to go guys. For my son, Mr Arcia and Mr Anta are role models.
Best martial arts academy. Training, master and staff are great
I joined Anta’s Fitness and Self Defense in order to train and get fit. I discovered this excellent Krav Maga training facility. They are committed to excellence, easy technique approach and care. Master Julio Anta and his team are very attentive and give you all the support necessary for you to excel. The approach is structured and engages you in such a way that you try harder and harder to perfect your form, without the regular academies’ stress. I’d recommend anybody, of any age, to come and join Master Julio Anta at Anta’s Fitness and Self Defense. It will make you feel rejuvenated and active.
Friendly caring staff who will help you to meet your personal goals, rather they be fitness or self defense. Great people whose goal is changing shy kids lives, loving their instructors Mr. Julio Anta (Head Instructor) and Mr. Arcia . Highly recommend this school & their instructors.
Known them for about 13 years my older son went and my younger son is still going, Mr. Arcia, Mr.Anta and Ms. Elena make you feel part of the family, kids not only learn self defense, but core values as respect, discipline, leadership. I would need more than 5 stars to rate them tks for all that you do!! 👍🏻👍🏻
My son goes to Anta's and he loves it. He has been going for over a year and I have notices an improvement in his behavior. What I find to be super adorable is how he tell his father and me that we have to help him practices his push ups and sit ups. They are really wonderful at Anta's and they encourage the children to do their best and never give up. 💜💜👍🏻
you lires jeet kune do is made by bruce lee you do not teach jeet june do you big losers
I highly recommend this karate school. It is conveniently located in Miami and the coaches are very dedicated to provide good training for children. Anta's Fitness and Self Defense is the best karate school in Miami.
I've always loved martial arts. Since I was a little kid I remember watching all those kung fu movies, specially the ones that Bruce Lee would make. I learned kung fu when I was young and now I want my kids to learn kung fu too. At Anta's Fitness and Self Defense I have found a great professor, Mr. Julio Anta is not only a Kung Fu master but also a role model, a great professional. I couldn't be more proud that my children are learnig martial arts from one of the best schools in Miami.
Best Karate school in Miami, strongly recommended. Teachers are fantastic, kids really learn martial arts here. Thanks Julio you are doing a great job!!
Best school and better staff. My 5 year-old daughter was so happy going to Mr. Anta's karate classes, that she asked me to enroll her in the summer camp too. They play while learning, have fun and make new friends. Thank you Anta's fitness and self defense.
This is the best karate school in Miami, I recommend this martial arts academy for your children. I practiced kung-fu for 5 years when I was young. And I know that this sport is rich in all aspects mentally and physically, it brings balance in life. This is what I want for my kids, that's why I enrolled them in karate classes with Master Anta. I couldn't take a better decision.
This is best karate school in Miami. Thank you Master Anta for being such a great mentor for my children. I strongly recommend to everybody living in Miami to visit Antas Fitness and Self Defense and see for themselves that this is the best martial arts academy in town.
As a parent of triplets (3 boys), it could get very busy, loud and sometimes messy at home. So I enrolled my kids in karate classes at Mr. Anta's school in Miami. Best move I have ever made. Now when they get home after their martial arts practice they don't run and yell around the house. All the extra energy they have is being used for the karate classes. It is definitely the best sport a kid could practice, because it also makes them more disciplined.
My main concern was that sometimes martial arts teachers could get very loud, bold, and in many cases even rude to the kids. But here at Anta's Fitness and Self Defense, Mr. & Mrs. Anta and their fellow teachers are strict and kind at the same time, so children are always having fun while learning karate. By far one of the best karate schools I have found in Miami. Thank you guys! keep up the good work.
It sure is the best martial arts academy in miami. I have been practicing karate for a long time in my home town, I recently moved to this city and luckily a friend of mine recommended me this karate dojo. Didn't have to look anywhere else, after I met Master Julio Anta I knew that this was the place!.
As a business owner in Miami I hardly find the time to do physical activities along with my family, that is why I consider Anta's Fitness and Self Defense a place of scape from the daily routine. My family and I enjoy the classes very much at this fitness center and karate school. It's fun, challenging, and energetic. Thank you guys!
I saw master Julio Anta on tv performing a self defense for women demo class, the next day I signed up for classes at his school. It was the best thing I have ever done, I've lost 15 pounds already, gained more confidence, and feel healthier. I'm loving it. I am taking the pilates classes along with the karate training, and for next month I am taking piloxing classes too. Keepin' my self busy. Visit Mr. Anta's School in Miami, you are going to love it.
Best Karate classes in town. But what I like the most about antas' fitness and self defense is the diversity of the programs from martial arts to fitness classes and also self defense for kids and women safety. They have it all. It's really cool to have martial arts and fitness center all in one place here in Miami.
Thank you Mr. and Mrs. Anta for making my kids to enjoy their karate classes. They have never had so much fun in a Karate school before. And also thanks to all the activities and exercise now they are more active and cooperative around the house. And the discipline, have made them focus more in school, they are straight A students. I am going to recommend your karate academy to all my friends and family in Miami. Keep up the good work!!!
The location is great, the premises are clean, and full of equipment for training, but the most important thing is that it's full of energy. Master Julio Anta and his fellow coaches have it all covered. Great place to burn all the extra calories by learning self defense, this is the best karate school I have ever been in Miami. I just love it !!
I recommend this karate academy. Thanks to Anta's Fitness & Self Defense, now my kids (Tony and Leo) go to school with so much confidence that they are not afraid of being bullied by some other kids anymore, they are fit and healthy. They are even becoming more popular at school. There should be more karate academies like this in Miami.
First bad review ever, as a new guy that had to pay the first classes, just to TRY them, only with one class they showed me that there is not discipline, kids on the team of adults making jokes and noises while training, not a proper trainer as a instructor more knowing that plus me was another newer with me , no warm up, no words from the master to me , just go there with a bunch of kids making jokes and injure yourself!!!
There's more hot air and tough talk at this place, but less substance than other gyms. I struggle respecting an owner who pins up shirtless photos of himself all over the gym. Half of the class was this guy giving trivial Cobra Kai speeches about "toughness". Gimme a break! They make you pay $150 for equipment you can get online for $50. If you're into drinking someone's Kool Aid, then this your place. I am just looking for hardcore, no-BS self defense (and some modesty), and I am passing on this joint.
my son was discriminated against for being distracted and imperative. They did not accept him for not following 3 orders. I do not recommend this place so that his children go to this place.
They never have the A/C on if they even have one, they never clean that place and even less do they open the doors to deodorize and we can't breathe in this place, it is tremendously deplorable it smells like feet and sweat!!! Nunca Tienen Aire Acondicionado, Nunca Limpian ese lugar y menos Abren las puertas para desodorizar y pueda respirar este lugar, es Tremendamente Deplorable Huele a Pies y sudor!!!
