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.

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

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! .

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.

I live in St.Pete but will drive here. They are truly amazing instructors, classmates and family. I had to take a short pause for medical reasons and was extremely moved when my classmates and instructors kept checking in on me.
This is a place everyone belongs. Not just a number. I can't say enough kind words about these amazing people.

I discovered Martial Arts Advantage North because I was looking for a Muay Thai Kickboxing class for women for myself. I loved the class! It was very intense, great work out but also a lot of fun. Mr. Chris was not only a great instructor but a great motivator. So when my son turned 5 I thought it would be good for him to get involved in Tae Kwon Do, so I signed him up. It is now 2 years later and he is still taking classes here and he loves it. The entire staff is fantastic in working with the kids! Even when a child is having a bad day, I am always impressed how well Mr. Chris handles it

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.

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.

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!

So we bought a 6 week pass to MAA at a charity auction. All of our son's classmates take Tae Kwan Do there so we wanted to give it a try. The first thing I noticed when we walked in, was how Chris (The Owner) greeted each of my children. He looked each one in the eye and shook their hands and asked them a little about themselves. he was modeling one of the core principles of MAA, respect.

It has been a great experience every class since then. Chris takes time to know each student's strengths and then build them up from there. The classes are fun and educational but more important than
