My son is taking classes at Twin Dragons Martial Arts, with no doubt I can say he is in a good place, at Twin Dragons he is learning not only martial arts but growing confidence, respect, kindness and solidifying friendships, he is becoming a life champion. And we as parents are also taking advantage of this environment and all good vibes that come from there.
Thank you Master T for your dedication and for teaching our children.

I have been training here for 11 years and counting. Since the first day I came, i knew this was a special place not only because of the instructors but also because of the value and life lessons it teaches it’s students. Martial arts is a lot more than hitting, it’s about self development and character. Here, you will not only develop your self physically, but also mentally.

This is by far the best Martial Arts School in Miami. Professional, dedicated and entirely focused on students. My daughter joined three years ago starting with Kung Fu, and a year later adding Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. Since then she advanced tremendously, participated in several regional competitions and made first or second place. The master, current brown belt and Vice World Champion in BJJ, and a black belt in Karate, Kung Fu, and Silat is an exceptional person. His mission and vision are terrific, he dedicates all of his time for the students. You can't find a better place in Miami, if you are

Also known as a Research Institute for Martial Arts, Twin Dragons offers people of all ages a chance to become a LIFE champion. Although there is emphasis on MMA, JIU JITSU, JUDO, self-defense, police defensive tactics (just to name a few), Twin Dragons goes beyond the pragmatic physical aspect of training. Master Tarrago strives to provide the most professional and positive experience possible. Come and cultivate new virtues today!

After the 9 years experience with my 3 kids and myself, I can say it is the best choice. Everything a parent needs, after school care and a variety of the best extracurricular activities that help kids to build not only a healthy and strong body but self confidence, be trained against bullying with excellent trainers and tutors, not to mention the wonderful family environment.

I thought this place would be cool and it had good reviews but I was disappointed. Darryl was knowledgeable but he was so sexist and made it very obvious in personal conversations; it was really distasteful. I thought maybe I was going crazy but other people I spoke with felt the same way. I'd recommend going elsewhere.

Twin Dragons the best by far! Last summer I was a bit concerned as my 5 y/o son was about to start Kinder and had no plans for after school activities. I was looking for a place that would give him some type of martial arts, assistance with homework as well as piece of mind to know that he would be in a safe environment. Twin Dragons is that and more! Totally family oriented, life lessons, top notch staff and good-hearted kids! I also enrolled my 10 y/o daughter for some self defense. Their summer camp program is excellent, many different activities that kids truly enjoy! Totally recommend it!

I have trained at this studio for over 2 years in Tae Kwon Do, Hap Ki Do and a little in their Jiu Jitsu program. Chief instructors Darryl and Denah are great to work with and promote a safe and fun environment for people of any age or physical capacity.
I will make very clear that this is not a "black belt factory." You will earn your belts through hard work, which is exactly what attracted me to the studio in the first place. You will not get a black belt in a year, which is the way it should be. This is also not a meathead or tough guy training center. Respect and courtesy are
