The amount of care and compassion that comes from the coaches at elevate is incredible. It’s more than learning martial arts. They are really amazing. Helping my son find his way in this new adventure. Not just in martial arts but in school as well. Really showing him the way. Thank you for all that you do.
This place is fantastic! They strike the perfect balance of fun and discipline for our son. The instructors not only teach respect and self-defense better than anywhere else we’ve experienced, but they also explain the “why” behind each move and how it applies in real-world situations. Their summer camp is excellent as well. Highly recommend to any family looking for a martial arts program to teach respect and discipline!
Elevate Martial Arts South Tampa has been a wonderful experience for my 🧒 . The instructors are incredibly kind, patient, and truly attentive to each student’s needs. Even though my child is struggling a bit, they never rush or make them feel left behind. Instead, they take time in every class to provide personalized instruction and help build confidence. You can really feel that they care about the students' growth, both in martial arts and as individuals. Highly recommend this place!
To sum it up, My little girl is actually excited to go to Elevate Marshal Arts everyday even though it's awesomely exhausting workout for her. They go straight in to fun (Karate) stuff instead of lectures and techniques. Don't get me wrong, techniques are intense but they come later down the road. Kids need to get moving and that's what they do. The instructor is funny yet assertive and extremely engaging. The administration is super friendly and care about your money and time. Just try it, you will not dislike it. Each kid is different but it's worth a try because these guys are super nice!
We came to a homeschool Tiger class (4-7yrs) and I didn’t really know what to expect. My kid is high energy and has a tougher time paying attention and following instructions but let me say that Coach Adam has the best attitude and patience for these kids! He is fun and easy going but also direct and demands attention and respect from the kids. My son is always so excited to come and I love watching him. Even when he has a tough day I’m never embarrassed to return because coach Adam is very understanding. So happy I gave it a shot. It’s close to home and the location is small but clean and organized. Everyone should try it!
