Testimonials
My daughter has grown in ways I never imagined since becoming part of the Bob Otto dojo family. Even with special needs she has progressed and become confident and secure in who she is as a person. Bob told me to give him one year and He would give me a different child and she is! She holds her head High and does her best at everything she does! Thanks Bob for turning Heather into the young woman she is today!!
Lynne
This is a great place for ordinary people to study and practice martial arts. Bob and his team are great teachers for all ages and skill levels. UST is the best value and best workout I have ever seen!
Jeff
When my daughter Kaitlyn first came to the dojo she was very quiet and withdrawn and didn’t have a lot of confidence in herself.Now 7 years later she is getting ready to graduate high school and go on to college. She has found her passion in Karate and is now a 3rd degree black belt and wants to help others when she gets to FSU by starting a self defense group there. Thank you Bob for all that you have done and continue to do for my daughter and other kids who train with you!!
