American Karate Academy #1 MMA/Karate School in Miami

This academy is fantastic, Master Garcia is an excellent martial arts instructor with a lot of experience. Master Allan is also wonderful. The place is always clean and all the staff is very friendly. The children are very happy

My daughter attends MMA classes at AKA. I am constantly impressed by the professionalism of Mr. Garcia & his amazing staff. They take their responsibility to teach the discipline very seriously. And the classes go beyond the physical skills the students acquire. When they say “Knowledge in the Mind, Honestly in the Heart, & Strength in the Body”, they mean it & focus on honing all those elements. My daughter loves the classes so much that she decided to have her birthday party there. I thought it would be cool beforehand, but the reality exceeded all of my expectations. As with their classes, the party was visually stunning, fun for the kids & entertaining for the parents, while somehow still complying with their core goals of Knowledge in the Mind, Honestly in the Heart & Strength in the Body… well, also pizza & cake in the body. ;) As you can see, I’m a happy patron. Be aware, however, that Mr. Garcia is very disciplined & he expects no less from his students. If you think your child is up for it, or if you want them to build that discipline, you can find no better place.

My son has been going to AKA for almost 2 years and we love them! Mr Garcia is excellent at teaching kids, encouraging them and pushing them to be the best they can be. My kid gained a lot of confidence and the mixed martial arts philosophy helps build character. He also has made good friends through it!

AKA is great, highly recommend for your child! We started a couple of months ago and we’ve already seen such an improvement with our son. He is more respectful, attentive and best of all he loves it. He is excited for every class. They make sure you have a great experience and community. Mr. Garcia, Mrs. Garcia, Mia and Coach Alain are amazing and very communicative. I can’t say enough good things about this place. So happy we chose AKA!

Our son has been taking classes for a few months and he loves it. The team is so great with the kids. I have seen an overall improvement in his confidence and coordination. Highly recommend!
