I take my child’s care VERY seriously! And DMA is simply the best!Amazing coaches! Clean facility that smells amazing!!! (Most martial arts schools smell gross)And you can tell they actually care about their students. Best choice I could’ve made

I can’t say enough good things about Kevin Marie and their staff. Amazing people dedicated to changing the lives of their students. I’m proud to know them and would confidently recommend them to anyone.

Ive know the owners for years - great people and a great program! Professional staff with great ethics and integrity. What a wonderful family

Update: After three messages and a bad review, they did credit me for the overcharge. No one ever called me back. *They do not honor their own written cancellation policy. Do not pay with your “card on file”!The charges just keep rolling and after three messages left - no return calls, but the charges keep showing up on my credit card.The program for kids was wonderful. Too bad the paying parties receive no communication priority in the business plan.

Dojo Martial Arts was the best decision we made for our 5 year old son . We home school our children, (even pre pandemic) so getting our son to socialize and learn to focus on instruction from Sense Kevin was a big win for our family. Sense Kevin is an amazing teacher to the kids. He gives the right amount of attention to each child and the children absolutely adore him. My 15 year old son is now wanting to join The Dojo ! They are THE BEST !

A fantastic place that genuinely cares about kids. Highly recommended!!!

Dojo martial arts is awesome! They really have a sense for family, community, and always becoming better each day! Recommended, 5 stars all the way!

Great instructors! Very professional and they really care about their members!

Good dojo, patient teacher. Very good environment.

I had the pleasure of meeting Kevin Bergquist recently and I was super impressed with his kindness, character and professionalism. He has made his love of martial arts his life and clearly shares the last gift with his own children and all of his students. He maintains humility and Integrity in all he does. I would highly recommend Kevin Bergquist and Dojo Martial Arts. He is the real deal.

This is the best school in Florida! Excellence Martial Artist! A honorable instructor who teaches the true spirit of the martial arts. You cant go wrong at this school!

We enrolled our 6-year old in summer camp at Dojo Martial Arts/Awesome Youth Sports and couldnt be happier! There is a wide variety of activities and field trips each week, on top of the twice-weekly Karate lessons -- its all a bit hit! The kids stay active, are encouraged to try new things, and are reminded every day about how AWESOME they are -- its great for helping bring a shy kid out of his shell. After just a couple days, we knew wed be enrolling for after-school care as well. A great place for sure!

Dojo Martial Arts has been great for our kids and for our family. The coaches are very engaged and are great at encouraging the kids to work hard and have respect for themselves and each other. I highly recommend this dojo for any family looking for after school activity for their kids.

This place is Amazing! The definitely care about their students, staff, and families! I would recommend them to everyone! I have never felt so welcomed! They make you feel like part of the family! We always look forward to seeing Dojo Martial Arts!!!!

My son loved the summer camp so much! He would never want to wake up for any daycare or camp . But he did for this one ! He loved all the activities they had planned everyday. He would actually give details on how his day went instead of just “good “. Staff is so warm and friendly and really do care about the children . I was able to go to work with no worries . Thanks so much !

They are all so amazing and just like family! Teaches respect and discipline with kindness and the kids have a blast!!! Love it!

Kevin is a standup guy, a true martial artists and a fun and charismatic human being. I’ve attended some of his adult programs and his instructors are knowledgeable and dedicated.

Truly the best martial arts program in the area! Sensei Kevin and his family really cares for your kids and gives them an AWESOME atmosphere to grow!

Kevin is amazing! Such a great guy! Huge heart! Really puts time and effort into his teaching and provides a quality martial arts experience in a truly family friendly environment! These guys really are the best! 💚

Incredible instructor! Really puts his heart and soul into his instruction. Students and families can really feel safe and at home with this incredible program! WE ARE THE BEST! 😃👍🏻

This place is awesome!! Caring and compassionate staff with a passion for the arts! The summer camp has my daughter so excited everyday! If you are looking for an amazing program, look no further, you have found it.

A great place to train. Top notch instuctors who care about their students.

Dojo Martial Arts has unbelievable programs for students of all ages! Master Kevin truly cares about each and every one of his students. I highly recommend Dojo Martial Arts for anyone who wants to learn true martial arts in a fun, clean and organized studio!

Kevin Bergquist takes a humble approach to martial arts. He is an expert, who has achieved a high-level of mastery, and yet he continues to seek the knowledge of others and grow as martial artist. This philosophy or perpetual learning is the essence of art...knowing that the journey is never truly finished, one must keep walking the path. Not only does he provide excellent instruction, he also mentors individuals of all ages, setting a positive example for the harmonious development of human character.

Great school. Excellent instruction. Friendly people. The best school in Bradenton!

I have trained, visited the school and attended events with Kevin for 5 years. He is a great instructor who employs high quality staff to help run his center. Great kids programs and quality instruction and staff.

This place is great! Fantastic instructors, and theyre great with the kids!

This place is incredible! My nephew signed up there and he used to be a very shy kid and Karate has really brought him out of his shell. The staff there are so kind and patient. He is just a beginner but when I watch the more advanced kids, I can only imagine how great he will be. Go Dojo!!!

Awsome people!

Dojo Martial Arts is awesome! Professional staff. Keeps kids interested and busy. My son actually begs me to leave him there until the last possible moment everyday. I would completely recommend this safe environment to send kids to camp.

My son has been going to Dojo for two weeks now. We love it! Before the first week was even over, he was saying yes sir, yes maam, and excuse me! He is wanting to attend even on days he is able to stay home because one of us is off of work. I would highly recommend this for every child! We are even going to take the adult classes!!!! Thank you Kevin! You have an amazing establishment and we are so excited to be a part of it!

Great friendly environment. With amazing and kind coaches!!!

My daughter loved her week she spent there. Great owners !!!

Had a great visit here last year! The Dojo was very welcoming to me and my family. The kids had a blast! Will definitely be back soon.

Absolutely love the after school program for our son. He has improved so much over the last few months. All of the instructors are amazing, friendly, and very informative. We highly recommend DoJo Martial Arts!

This is an awesome martial arts school! The owners are super cool and they were recently featured in the Guinness Book of World Records!Definitely check them out!

Excellent place to see your child grow. Master Bergquist has taught my son Mason since he was 4 years old, (now 10). His skills as an instructor, mentor, and friend are second to none. The skills and humility of his students are a great gift to society. I am so glad to see the enfaces on good family morals and citizenship, protection of others and self preservation. The school is more than a place to learn Karate, its family. Bob ware

Awesome programs kids love it!

Stopped in while on my way to visit IMG Academy. Saw a lot of kids having a great time learning Karate and got in a private lesson with the Head Instructor Sensei Kevin is an awesome martial artist without the pretentiousness often associated with martial arts schools. If I had kids I would sign them up immediately! Wonderful environment and positive atmosphere!

Dojo Martial Arts is a great place for learning the art of Karate. I was a student there for 6 years and it never disappointed me. Teaching of amazing skills, discipline, and respect.

Have had my 5 year old there for almost a year, and I am amazed at how much he has learned. Best of all HE LOVES IT!! Sensei Kevin is a wonderful instructor and makes learning the martial art a fun experience for all involved! I highly recommend this Dojo to everyone of all ages.

Great experience. My kids love it. Kevin is a great mentor and instructor. The after school program is great!

I took my 7 years old son Chris to Florida for a vacation this winter, we are visiting from China . Chris really enjoyed the karate class in the Dojo, he even made some friends there. His master teacher Kevin was awesome!!

Just had a lesson from Master Kevin over the weekend. Totally different than what Im used to, but it was great. Great style, terrific instructor, fun class.

Kevin is an amazing person and gives you his all everytime. Not only does he train you to be the best, he makes it fun. Highly recommended!!!

Meeting Sensei Kevin was one of the best things that ever happened in my life.Mostly, I am attracted to his ability to remain humble, despite multiple bragging rights. He creates a true sense of family in the Dojo, it is not just a place to come, workout, and leave. I admire how he teaches the kids, and have witnessed how these kids have grown and matured not only in athletics, but academics,, social skills, and manners. He brings in guests, hosts seminars, and makes it fun and challenging,never boring! developitheirkwitnesfantastic

My daughter experienced bullying in school since first grade. Dojo Martial Arts has given her the confidence and technical skills to defend herself against the bullies. Sensi Kevin is a wonderful teacher. The kids have the utmost respect for him.

Good place to train if you can get your time in. Seems mainly devoted to children You may find it difficult if you have kids and also want to train because they cannot stay for the adult class. Rules may change and seem somewhat arbitrary.

Ive known Master Kevin Bergquist for over 20 years and have seen him grow to an awesome Martial Artist and Instructor. He has a positive way with all ages and is well-respected in the Martial Arts community.

Dont waster your time looking around! You found it! The absolute best martial arts in Bradenton! Master Berquist is an amazing teacher and full of awesomeness! He is an inspiration to so many and a great man! As a teacher myself, I highly recommend him and his school for yourself and your kids!!!

My son has been a student here for four years and it has become his second home. Master Bergquist is an amazing instructor and works incredibly well with all of the kids. Not only has my son moved up in belt and skill level, he has grown in maturity, discipline and respect. The dojo is his second family and we absolutely love that he is a part of it.

Master Kevin is an excellent instructor with an enormous heart for children and adults alike. He has a way of introducing you to new things and helping you learn them without expecting you to have them perfected your first time at it.

The staff is wonderful. Its a fantastic environment with top of the line training. I would recommend to anyone.

I love the energy and the opportunity to take various classes until I find the one or more that I want to master. Sensei (Kevin) is a great teacher! I got one of the best workouts ever in his kickboxing class. If you are looking for a place to learn, grow, lose weight, or just connect with new people and master your craft, this is the dojo!Their adult classes are scheduled perfectly for me...its very rare to find classes between 6pm-8pm that work within my schedule and that are close to my home until now. Please note that this organization is very affordable and you get more than your moneys worth! Please consider bringing your family and yourself to a class today! Trust me, you wont be sorry. I love this place!!!

Master Bergquist is the BOMB! We have had him up to New York to teach seminars at our School and he never disappoints. He is a talented martial artist and an equally brilliant instructor who knows his art down to the tiniest detail yet always finds a way to keep the students so engaged in the learning process that they often forget they are even working hard until they are finished. If you are looking to get into martial arts, or to get your child into training, I can very highly recommend Dojo Martial Arts as the very first (and last) place in the Bradenton area for you to look.

Awesome High energy personality! Great person and instructor and did I mention A world record holder!!! #ossu

Master Kevin is an amazing instructor with incredible experience and skill. I highly recommend taking one of his seminars and/or dropping by his dojo for full time training.

Ive been in the martial arts for over twenty years with ten years teaching experience. There are very FEW organizations that Ive witnessed run with more professionalism, courtesy and respect than this one. Sensei Bergquist is a fine instructor that instills value into his students.

Cast & Crew Members in the upcoming movie Crowleys Tomb use the Dojo Martial Arts for fight choreography, weapon training, learn martial arts fundaments and to get in shape. Master Kevin Bergquist also consults on all movie fight and action scenes for Crowleys Tomb Productions. If your looking for the best martial arts training school I highly recommend Dojo Martial Arts.

My son Urijah has been going to camp for 3 weeks now and he loves it!! His father and I love it to do to the fact that Urijah has been better behaved and has had a better attitude since he has started!! I 100% recommend Awesome Youth Sports!!

I was fortunate enough to have a session with Master Bergquist and loved it. His style of teaching is effective and fun - I highly recommend trying a class.

This place is amazing! It has just what I was looking for. A team of fun Charismatic instructors that the kids just love, a variety of physical disciplines to study, and some actual hard hitting, trophy winning teachers and students. I had studied a little of the Brazilian Jujitsu and Tang-so-Do in the past. here Im looking forward to trying on some Capoeira for size as a way to stay in shape and add some variety to my breaking dance moves.What really sets Master Kevin apart is his in-deph knowledge of actual martial arts history, (he wrote a paper on it) and his mature appreciation of these various disciplines spiritual aspects, (he majored in world religions). However, its his childlike charm and infectious enthusiasm that drives this place.For me, I really like to know the background and philosophy behind what Im studying on the mat.

My daughter loves the Dojo and all of the awesome coaches!! Shes learning and having a blast, what more could you ask for?

Amazing place, highly recommend the Dojo! Sensei Kevin Bergquist is an amazing person and is very passionate about what he does. You will not be disappointed if you choose this discipline.

Great place for kids to get some structure and learn self discipline. Recommend to any parent looking for a well rounded program

Coach Kevin is AWESOME! He is living his passion and empowers future Martial Artists every single day through his experience, expertise and excitement for this way of life!

The training I received during my 3 years with the Martial Arts Teachers of all disciplines at The Dojo taught me skills to win several championships, but more importantly Sensei Kevin and his other instructors taught me virtues I use daily to find success in my career outside of The Dojo...

Ive known Master Bergquist for over 20 years. Youll never meet a better person. I guarantee only the best experience at Dojo Martial Arts!

They are such amazing people. Stop in and check this place out!

Since our son started in karate training a year ago, he has improved impressively, he s always been a good student but since he started martial arts he has improved a lot specially in academics, I always receive good comments from his teachers, he always shows good behavior, he is well diciplinated, responsible,he is always willing to help others in whatever is necessary , he proves to be a great leader , Geremy is a good example to follow for the children around him. I can be calm knowing that thanks to the training he received at Do-jo Martial Arts, our son can defend himself against any situation that life presents. I recommend martial arts for all children in the school stage, you never know if some day a bully will cross thier path. I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMEND DO-JO MARTIAL ARTS,Sensei Kevin and his great team are well qualify and are experts in the martial arts.

Great place. My son has been a student since he was 4 years old and still loves it

It is an excellent school where I find wonderful attitudes of the teacher and students, reliable and secure a good deal. It is a family that spends the best part of their day to teach you ... the best school of arts marciasles certainly could meet

This is a great place to learn very knowledgeable instructors.

I had the honorto train with Kevin. It was awesome

Kevin and his team are great! My son loves every minute at the dojo.

Private seminar on self defense for my female friends was just amazing! We will be scheduling a follow up in the near future!

Amazing service and excellent sportsmanship!!!!! Camryn was spectacular

My grandsons are all in Karate at Dojo Martial Arts and are having a great time while learning better listening skills as well as Karate. They are 6, 4, and 3 years old. The oldest has been there for 3 years and has won numerous awards at tournaments here as well as Orlando. He has learned and enjoyed it so much that his 4 year old cousin and 3 year old younger brother have recently joined. It is a joy to watch Sensei Kevin with the kids. They are obviously having fun while learning skills that will go with them throughout their lives. Hoorah for Dojo Martial Arts!!!!

I have know Sensei Kevin for about 3 decades. He has always been passionate about the Martial Arts and bettering oneself.

I have been taking Capoeira here for the past 6 years. Simply the best in every aspect!

Mater Bergquist is the most experienced Sensei in this area. I have trusted trusted my son in his hands and dojo for many years. He has helped shape my son into a great young man!

I have been a student at Dojo Martial Arts for six years and it has been simply amazing! Thank you Bujao for your energy and light! Axe!

Absolutely the best facility you will find!!!!! My 3 kids love their training in karate and ju jitsu.

Learned some capoeira at an event he was at a very funny and approachable teacher.

Amazing instructor with a positive attitude. You need to check this place out

You will not find a better Marital Arts studio in Bradenton. I am extremely impressed by Master Bergquists professionalism, positive attitude, patience and quality of instruction. He has a great passion for the art which is very evident in his teachings. He leads by example when teaching his students the importance of respect for Martial Arts and one another. I highly recommend both Master Berquist and DoJo Martial Arts!!

This is the best martial arts school in the Bradenton, FL area, Master Bergquist is truly one of a kind!

So glad to be a part of past events, and a small supporter of the BIG things that get accomplished. Keep us in the loop! What a community asset!

Best in town! Lots to love about this friendly studio.

Some of the most knowledgeable instructors I have ever met.

Awesome instructors and staff who inspire the kids to be The Best!

What an amazing school..could not ask for better

Awesome teachers, awesome classes; my child and myself LOVE Dojo!

Award winning teachers are under one roof. Grandmaster Kevin Bergquist, a world class martial arts teacher, attracted other very well known teachers, Shidoshi Larry Beaver, MasGuru Greg Alland and other gifted teachers. The true winners are their students. The students enjoy to learn world class level martial arts in an effective and safe way.My son and I started as students in Dojo Martial Arts together several years ago, in the meantime we acquired many prestigious awards and trophies. My weight was high, needed meds and was out of shape. Dont need meds anymore, lost more than 40 lbs and my fitness level is high. My son is a rising martial arts star together with other top performing kids at the dojo.The self defense classes available are among the best offered anywhere and the variety of offered classes are rare to find somewhere else. I love to be part of this dojo/school and highly recommend to anyone looking for a martial arts school.
