Annarika’s kids started training with us first, and more recently she decided it was her turn to step onto the mats.

Like many people, Annarika was a little hesitant at first. But once she started training consistently, her confidence grew and her skills improved right along with it.

Today you’ll find her training in Muay Thai and MMA, always willing to learn and challenge herself.

It’s been great watching your progress, Annarika. Keep up the great work!

“What do we listen with?” 👂

It may seem like a simple question, but moments like this are part of how we keep our younger students engaged and involved throughout class.

Kids ages 5 to 7 are developing their coordination, motor skills, attention span, and ability to follow instructions. Our Basic Ninjas classes are structured specifically for this stage of their development. We keep them moving, ask questions, get them involved, and make sure they’re having fun along the way.

Paying attention when someone is speaking, following directions, staying on task, and learning how to control their body are all practiced regularly on the mats.

They’re developing martial arts skills while reinforcing habits that carry into the classroom, home, and everyday life.

One last highlight for Ryan Lai

Ryan made a positive impact on our team from the start. He gave 100% every training session, was always a great training partner, willing to help others, and became an awesome coach for our members.

We’re grateful for the time he spent with us and everything he contributed to our team.

We all train for different reasons. For some, the goal is to compete.

Our Fight Team is made up of active amateur and professional fighters who attend regular classes along with dedicated fight team training.

We’re always looking for new talent. We look for consistency, the right attitude, good training partners, and fighters who are coachable.

Wishing Coach Ryan all the best with his move!

Ryan has been an awesome part of our coaching team, always bringing great energy to class and motivating our members to keep improving.

Before leaving, Ryan had one more goal he wanted to check off: step into the cage. He made his kickboxing debut at Combat Night and came away with his first win.

Thank you, Ryan, for everything you’ve brought to our team. Good luck with the move and whatever comes next!

Monday night Striking Fundamentals with Coach Mo has become one of our most popular Muay Thai classes.

At 7:15pm, we focus on the fundamentals of striking, including punches, kicks, knees, footwork, distance, and combinations. The class is open to all levels, so whether you are newer to Muay Thai or have been training for years, there is always something to work on.

Muay Thai gives you a great workout while teaching you real combat skills at the same time.

We offer Muay Thai classes throughout the week with several striking coaches, giving our members the opportunity to train often and learn from different coaching styles.

The new school year is here, and getting kids ready for school goes beyond backpacks, supplies, and new schedules.

Are they confident enough to speak up? Can they handle conflict? What happens when another child starts picking on them? Do they know what to do if a situation becomes physical?

In this month’s Our City Plantation, we talk about some of the important life skills kids need for the new school year and how parents can help prepare them.

Good luck to all the students starting a new school year! 📚

Our team participated in Broward Mall’s Back to School Kidz Fest!

We’ve called Plantation home for many years, so it’s always nice to get outside the academy, meet local families, and take part in events happening right here in our city.

Thank you to Broward Mall for inviting our team to be part of Kidz Fest.


It takes a team to put on a performance like this. Thank you to everyone who came out.

Boys have a lot of energy. Muay Thai gives them a great way to channel it.

They come to class excited to learn how to punch and kick, but they quickly discover there’s so much more to training.

They build confidence, learn discipline, make friends with other kids who enjoy training, and spend time around coaches who encourage them to work hard and become the best version of themselves.

Every class gives them a chance to stay active, learn real martial arts skills, challenge themselves, and have a lot of fun along the way.
