Authentic Martial Arts - Largo

Amazing dojo for kids and adults! Great staff, super knowledgeable! They practice legit, real karate there, not fake martial arts.

There are people and businesses that you can depend on and grow to rely on, and Authentic Martial Arts tops that list for my family. Our daughter is in their before/aftercare program and their summer camp. They do everything they can think of to be more than just an aftercare program. The kids have the perfect balance of physical activity (martial arts & other sports), homework (written homework & a monitored computer lab for online homework), and fun (free time & Friday clubs) during their time there. They also work on respect and different character traits each week and have field trips every day in the summer!

I seriously never understood the "it takes a village" saying until we joined AMA's village. They opened up after the hurricane so parents could get back to work (schools were still closed), and they did it free of charge because they just wanted to help and bring back normalcy for the kids. Ric Martin is a fantastic man, and we appreciate his entire staff. I cannot recommend them enough to anyone looking for a program that you can be completely comfortable with and your kids will be excited about.

My son went to AMA last summer and my daughter was old enough to go with him this summer. I'm very picky about who I have watch my children and I drop them off every morning knowing they are in excellent hands! They have a structured schedule, fun atmosphere and diverse schedule so my kiddos are never bored! I highly recommended this facility and will continue to send my kids every summer!

We have used AMA for two (2) years now. The team there is amazing. The facility is clean and well kept. The kids are always safe and well cared for. I only know some of the folks there...but Carmen, Emily, Sean, Barbara and Carlos all are incredible and do an awesome job of teaching the kids everything from martial arts to taking responsibility for their actions. Good Job guys!

My three children have attended the Largo location of Authentic Martial Arts for the past three years. I cannot say enough great things about the care and concern my children receive there. The staff maintain constant communication with me and make me aware of any concerns or issues immediately. The owner, Ric Martin, personally addresses any concerns I have had and remedies them to my satisfaction each and every time. My children feel like they are at home in this dojo and love the after school program, karate classes and summer camp that they are involved in.
