The best place! The training is amazing! They have incredibly skilled fighters and instructors who are patient and really understand how to pass that knowledge to the students. But the best part is the welcoming environment! From Amir on down, everyone makes this a true family atmosphere. There are literally 3 -4 generations of families that have trained there. You never see that in a martial arts school

Amir and his team have done a great job in promoting girls/women being involved in MMA. Our daughter has been with the Academy for 2 years and has grown with the program. She has increased confidence in day to day activities, and learned a skill that gives us confidence that she can protect herself if a situation arises. Excited to see how far she will go with this program

My 13yr old son has been training here for over a year now and it has been the best thing for him! This academy and the other students have embraced him and continue to challenged him each class. He has completely changed for the better both mentally and physically. Master Amir is the best and has such a great teaching ability especially with the kids and teens.

I cannot express the amount of gratitude I have for Amir and his Academy. Amir’s exceptional reputation precedes him. I heard about Amir about 30 years ago from a neighbor of mine who was a very humble professional fighter, who had trained under Amir. So needless to say, when my 10-year old grandson developed a record of challenges in school with bullies and not knowing how to control his understandable frustrations, when not left alone. We knew he needed to learn better ways to diffuse situations and express himself, but didn’t know how to get him there. It’s a difficult situation when your child is being picked on and isn’t old enough to communicate verbally. By the grace of God, our family was directed to Amir’s Academy. We are very blessed that Amir teaches not only Marshall arts, but also the skill sets of how and when to defend oneself, conflict resolution, and learning to ignore and walk away from someone who is saying mean things. Amir and all of his instructors are respectful and encourage each student with praise while learning the skill sets of Marshall arts. I’ve never seen my grandson smile more than he did his first day of class. It’s a smile of pride. He’s able to get out his frustrations in a healthy environment with guidance, support, and friendship. Thank you Amir for providing a safe place for my Grandson to feel embraced and learn how to defend himself when needed. He truly has a new sense of confidence since he’s been attending your Academy. I can’t wait to see the man he will become as he grows with you, and the other students at your Academy.

I’ve been to Amir Academy many times and continue to be impressed every visit. The classes are excellently organized and professionally delivered. Amir clearly puts a great deal of care into the structure and quality of instruction. The students are not only learning to fight but are doing so with discipline, focus, and respect. The facility itself is exceptionally clean and well-maintained, creating a positive and welcoming environment for both beginners and experienced martial artists. Over the years, I’ve seen Amir’s students actively participate in events like the Battle at Tampa Bay, which speaks to the academy’s commitment to developing skilled, confident competitors. If you’re looking for a top-tier martial arts school with strong leadership and a proven track record, I highly recommend Amir Academy of Martial Arts.
