Authentic Martial Arts - Largo

"This place is supposed to teach honesty, integrity, standing up for what is right but, when you sign up your child for the classes they do not explain their terms and conditions properly. We had signed up originally paying for 6 months in advance and they signed us up for auto pay that we were not aware of. After the 6 months were up, the teachers had asked if we were going to be coming back and we explained to them that we would not be sending our son back to class for a little while because we what just had a baby and would not have time to bring our oldest for a while. Because we were not aware of the auto draft coming out of our credit card. We were charged an additional $600 over the course of 6 months for services we did not receive and they are REFUSING to give back any more then one month. This is definitely an example of the opertunity to choose the right thing to do and they definitely are not taking it."

"There are people and businesses that you can depend on and grow to rely on, and Authentic Martial Arts tops that list for my family. Our daughter is in their before/aftercare program and their summer camp. They do everything they can think of to be more than just an aftercare program. The kids have the perfect balance of physical activity (martial arts & other sports), homework (written homework & a monitored computer lab for online homework), and fun (free time & Friday clubs) during their time there. They also work on respect and different character traits each week and have field trips every day in the summer! I seriously never understood the "it takes a village" saying until we joined AMA's village. They opened up after the hurricane so parents could get back to work (schools were still closed), and they did it free of charge because they just wanted to help and bring back normalcy for the kids. Ric Martin is a fantastic man, and we appreciate his entire staff. I cannot recommend them enough to anyone looking for a program that you can be completely comfortable with and your kids will be excited about."

"My son went to AMA last summer and my daughter was old enough to go with him this summer. I'm very picky about who I have watch my children and I drop them off every morning knowing they are in excellent hands! They have a structured schedule, fun atmosphere and diverse schedule so my kiddos are never bored! I highly recommended this facility and will continue to send my kids every summer!"

"We have used AMA for two (2) years now. The team there is amazing. The facility is clean and well kept. The kids are always safe and well cared for. I only know some of the folks there...but Carmen, Emily, Sean, Barbara and Carlos all are incredible and do an awesome job of teaching the kids everything from martial arts to taking responsibility for their actions. Good Job guys!"

"My three children have attended the Largo location of Authentic Martial Arts for the past three years. I cannot say enough great things about the care and concern my children receive there. The staff maintain constant communication with me and make me aware of any concerns or issues immediately. The owner, Ric Martin, personally addresses any concerns I have had and remedies them to my satisfaction each and every time. My children feel like they are at home in this dojo and love the after school program, karate classes and summer camp that they are involved in."
