Great Jiujitsu Instructor for all ages, Kids and adults. I wish there was more Jiujitsu classes

★★★★★ — Ellie, Feb 2020

My husband and I take Jiujitsu at both the Tamiami and Doral locations. The instructor AJ is amazing with both kids and adults. The classes are for any age and fitness. My oldest started doing taekwondo at 3 and half years old. She loves it! She is now 5.

Best Martial Arts school in town! My twins have been going to this school for over 4 years and they love it. I love the discipline my girls have and all the techniques they’ve mastered. Master Danny, AJ and all the coaches truly care for their students.

New to taekwondo? Start at United Martial Arts Tamiami Kendall

United Martial Arts Tamiami Kendall comes up as a beginner-friendly school, going by their listing and students’ reviews. If you've never trained or set foot in a dojang, that's exactly who a good beginners program is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit or flexible to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and instructors scale the intensity to you. Second, you won't be thrown into hard sparring — reputable schools build fundamentals (stances, blocks, kicks, and basic forms) for weeks, sparring eases in gradually and with gear on, and instructors keep it controlled and safe. Third, all ages and all levels really are welcome — ask about a dedicated beginners or fundamentals class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out. Most schools are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.

Your first taekwondo class at United Martial Arts Tamiami Kendall

Nervous about walking into a taekwondo school for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good instructors expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling basic stances, blocks, and kicks with a partner or on pads — not hard sparring. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: loose athletic wear you can move in (or a dobok if you have one); you'll train barefoot on the floor. What to bring: water and a positive attitude — many schools lend a loaner dobok for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll get your own dobok and belt, and sparring gear (mouthguard, headgear, and guards) once you begin sparring. Sparring eases in gradually, once your fundamentals and forms are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the instructor. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.

Taekwondo is a martial art and a contact sport. Ease in, listen to your instructors, and if you have any injuries or health concerns, mention them before class and check with a doctor if you're unsure.
