“I've been training at Winter Haven Martial Arts Academy for a few weeks now, and it’s already been an incredible experience. From day one, I felt welcomed by both the instructors and fellow students. The coaches are outstanding—patient, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in helping everyone improve, no matter their skill level. They offer classes for both adults and kids, so I’ve even been able to bring my family along to experience martial arts together. Even in just a short time, I feel stronger, more confident, and I've met some amazing, supportive people. If you’re considering martial arts in Winter Haven, I can’t recommend this place enough!”

“The instructors Alex and Emil are amazing with the age group we go to they range from 4 year old to 8 year olds and while they’re assertive on what they expect with the kids, they treat them with respect and patience for the little ones! I am so glad to have my boys in there and they love it!”

“High level curriculum, accomplished professors at the highest national and international level, kindness, respect and patience all that makes up for a successful BJJ & Judo school, which professor Alex and Vadim each have. This school far exceeded my expectations and as a transplant from Miami, I’m so grateful to have found it. Teammates are not just first class, but family, and will welcome you with open arms! If you want to take your skills to the next level or start your grappling journey, this is the place!”

“My son has been enrolled for a few weeks now and every aspect we’ve gone through has been awesome. The instructors are passionate and supportive; they’re patient with my neuro spicy child. The kids are pushed to do their best but never beyond limits. The determination and discipline the instructors provide is just what my kiddo needs. They’re always willing to answer questions and update you on your child’s progress. They have a fair price point and offer a trial class to make sure you’re into it! 100% recommend.”
