Absolutely amazing experience so far. Our son has been there for about a month now and he’s loving it. Not only is he learning self control and discipline but his confidence has gone through the roof. Couldnt think of a better place for our child to grow and learn. MAA is the best.
Posted 1 year agoWent there when I was a kid, loved and remembered it ever since, better than traditional taekwondo, DONT, I repeat DONT, go there
Absolutely an amazing company with an incredible team of instructors! Both my kids love going every week and have gained so much confidence in themselves along with the importance of values, such as respect! I would recommend any parent to enroll their child in the program:-)
Great atmosphere, very well trained staff, very friendly and a variety of styles and/or fitness programs to choose from. My family and I have been training here for over 9 years now and we love it. Highly recommend this academy :) :)
Our family has been attending Martial Arts advantage for 8 years with our 2 boys. We are very pleased with both boys achieving black belt ranking and having fun. Not only do they have fun, but they learn leadership and life skills that help them succeed at school, home, and future activities in their lives. I highly recommend them for any parents looking for an extra cirrcular activity for their kids.
First activity our son really loves, instructors are great with kids and we really like the structure!
The staff and instructors at Martial Arts Advantage are simply the best! Welcoming, informative and great with the kids (and adults!). We are learning a lot and cannot say enough good things about this place. Hope to see you there!
My son has been with Martial arts advantage for a couple years now. He loves it. Great instructors and environment.
We recently hosted our 8 year olds birthday here. The Martial Arts Advantage team was awesome, Christian and Alex!
I wanted something different to celebrate my grandson's 8th birthday. I googled and came across MAA as a possibility for a 'different' birthday party. I was sold the minute I spoke to Alex. He explained everything. Alex was personable and professional. He was not pushy and just told me to call if I had any additional questions and concerns. We did everything via text and phone. Yesterday was the party and Alex and MAA did not disappoint! What a fun time! The kids LOVED it. My grandson is still talking about it and now wants to take classes. Such a positive experience all around (and reasonable.) Alex is to be commended! He was in control, organized, made it fun for the children, and also made sure we, the adults, could enjoy ourselves too. This young man knows what he's doing! Do NOT hesitate to book a party at MAA. It's the least I have ever had to work in hosting a party and the best and exciting experience, hands down, for the children. Thank you Alex and MAA for giving Ethan a birthday to remember.
My five year-old son and I have both been attending classes for over a month at Martial Arts Advantage. We never plan on leaving. The instructional delivery is not only exciting and fun, but learning development happens, each and every class. Kids will learn respect, knowledge and discipline while also learning the self confidence they need to defend themselves. Adults, like myself, will learn self-defense techniques for any and all situations. Adults also receive a significant workout to help you reach those fitness goals and stay in optimal shape. The staff and members at Martial Arts Advantage are always warm and welcoming, giving you the opportunity to meet new families and friends. If you’re searching for the best martial arts center in the Tampa area, look no further. You won’t regret it!
My niece and nephew having been attending for 30 days and they look forward to each class. Can’t say enough goo comments about the instructors and staff. I am so glad I enrolled kids at MAAS south.
My 5 year old daughter loves the Little Dragon classes! She has so much fun and I know she is learning life skills for now and the future.
I’ve seen drastic improvement with my son’s focus and listening skills since I started bringing him to lil dragons. He has learned so much and loves the classes. I am happy we found a solid activity for him to unload his energy on.
Great people!!! So kind and professional. Kids are having a great time.
My Daughter Loves it! Great Teachers. I Love how the place is always clean, sometimes when you come in a little early you can catch them cleaning up after the camp kids and I mean wiping things down, vacuuming, moping etc.. It's really nice to see that because many places say they clean but who really knows.. It has a really really nice vibe. Everyone is so nice too one another, so respectful. Honestly I love the fact that this place gives you the opportunity to be able to be in the same room while your kid is doing their lesson or you also have the option to watch them through a glass window. As a first time Mom doing all these extra curricular activities I like to keep an eye on my child and this place just Exceeds my expectations. Although times are rough right now something about Martial Arts Advantage gives you a almost back to normal feeling.
I have been very impressed with how After School Ninjas operates. My shy 7yo hates EVERYTHING and asked daily to stay at ASN even though I could pick her up right after martial arts. The staff actually cares about the kids. ASN sets their own bar for child care instead of only meeting the low bar that has become so prevalent. The model should be replicated. Thanks and keep up the good work!
I have been going to MAA since 2011 taking the haganah program and now the krav maga program after it was switched. MAA is a comfortable place to go. Everyone who works there is friendly and very respectful. The instructors have a ton of experience, knowledge, and work great with people of any age. They are not intimidating and they keep you engaged. They push you when they need to and help you become more advanced. I take the krav class because of the practicalness of it and how it can help you in real world situations. I became a blackbelt in 2014.
My 5 and 8 year old describe it like the cool, fun place to be. They love the teachers, they are playful, loving and patience. I like the discipline as well. Great place for kids to learn martial arts, respect and make new friends.
I started about three years ago and got up to black belt great place
We purchased a birthday package and celebrated my son's birthday here in early February. Alex and team ensured we had a meaningful and memorable experience. Master Mike was an excellent instructor for the kids. We highly recommend Martial Arts Advantage for both lessons and/or a memorable and fun kids birthday party. Thank you!
My son has been participating at MAA for the past 4 years and he truly enjoys it! The leaders, instructors and staff are great! The classes are structured and my son always leaves smiling from having participated in their classes and activities. The instructors are very professional and they are with great teaching children about martial arts. We love MAA! .
This is an amazing program my son has been a student since the age of three and a half he is now 9 and has earned his second degree black belt. This family owned and operated Academy is beyond amazing. The staff instructors atmosphere is more than any parent could ask for. My son not only has gained skills but self-discipline confidence and respect. Words cannot describe how much we love martial arts advantage.
We love this program and the instructors. All of them do so well and are very involved with kids. We have been with this academy for six years now. We are both black belts now and the instructors and classes really both helped us achieve each rank along the way. Our parents both take classes there and have loved it too! We all love this program greatly and we are not going to leave it any time soon. The academy also has an after school program next door that has a great team of fun people.

My grandson just started in July and loves it. Instructors are awesome.
We love MAA. Our daughter has been there for almost 4 years. The people are great and it's a wonderful family community. Plus the discipline has been really good for her.
My son Jon joined MAA after attending a birthday party at the S Tampa location. He join back in July and has excelled ever since. Classes are fun, teachers are excellent. We have also attended several Parents Night Out and Jon calls them kids night out. This has taught him great life skills, improved his balance and focus. Would highly recommend to anyone. It's great to be part of the MAA family!
Martial Arts Advantage is an outstanding martial arts academy. My son has been training here since he was 4 years old and he will soon test for his 2nd Degree Black Belt in TaeKwon Do. He has had amazing instructors helping him throughout this journey - they are motivating, helpful and great with kids. I have also trained at MA2 in both Muay Thai kickboxing and Krav Maga. Both are amazing classes - you don't feel like you're working out because you are always learning something new - whether fight techniques in kickboxing or real world self defense scenarios in Krav Maga. And nothing is better stress relief than getting to punch or kick something!
My daughter Zoe has been going to the school for about 3 months now and loves it. The staff is friendly and they are all phenomenal with children. Classes are very affordable and the schedule is flexible---a wonderful plus! The school hosts themed "Parents' Night Out" events where kids can socialize and do activities for a few hours on select Friday nights. In all, my experience with the school has been exceptionally positive. Highly recommended!
My daughter has been attending for about 2 months, and she loves it. Instructions are very patient and supportive. I love choosing two classes out of eight offered each week. It's great with our busy schedules.
This is my first encounter with a martial arts program and there were plenty to choose from in our area. I was daunted with the task of finding the RIGHT fit for our daughter. I knew how integral the combination of martial arts training and socialization would be for our daughter to be able to handle herself in a professional and courteous manner outside of our home. We expect her to conduct herself accordingly in our presence but of course you put your child in environments that are outside of our levels of expectation and you never really know what the impact is on your child until it may be too late and bad behaviors or decision making have cost months of damage that has to be undone. For me in particular I was looking for not only a place my daughter could learn how to defend herself properly but also to learn the valuable lessons of mindful respect towards others in EVERY situation. I read reviews on several organizations and of course on Martial Arts Advantage as well. I always will think long and hard on what outside activities I allow our daughter to attend because I realize that those activities will influence our daughter in a positive or negative way. As any parent we always want to put our children into an organization that is going to be positive but it doesn't always work out that way. Thats why research and reading reviews are so helpful and Im am more than happy to endorse this organization 100%. Needless to say after 3 months of her attending Martial Arts Advantage I am more than thrilled with their professionalism and expertise in handling children and molding them into respectful children. I would highly recommend this organization if your child could use healthy discipline AND guidance in self restraint and respect for oneself and then for others.
Hi! My name is Logan Rodgers and I am currently a student at Martial Arts Advantage. I have only been a student for a year and a half and I love it! My favorite instructors are: Mr. Jared, Mr. Steven, Mr. Jimmy, Mr. Mike and last but not least Master Kuntz. They have taught me so much and I am currently 1 belt away from becoming a Black Belt. Since I began I have almost mastered my round kick and my side kick. Making sure I try to keep the kicks high each and every time. I would really like to see some new friends joining me at Martial Arts Advantage.
The instructors and staff are fantastic!! They are truly care about the children and their progress!
Everyone here really cares about every students wellbeing! They really take the time to help each child in and out of the classroom. I have seen such changes in Finn in the last two years. Highly recommend them!
I have been at MAA for over 5 years now, and in that time I have taken Muay Thai, Haganah/Krav Maga, and Jiu Jitsu. I love the school and the culture is great. Mr. Kuntz teaches both Muay Thai and Krav, and you would be hard pressed to find a better teacher. His knowledge and obvious experience makes it easy to learn and ask questions. It's very easy to get what you want from the class, whether it be a great workout or a great training session. My younger brother as well as 3 of my friends children have attended TaeKwon-Do, as well as the summer camps. They love it! The summer camps are a lot of fun. I have even "helped out" as an excuse to play with the kids and join in on the nerf wars!
Amazing with the kids! Fun atmosphere with very patient teachers.
Great school, lovely instructors and fantastic atmosphere.
