★ 5★ 4★ 3★ 2★ 1We couldn’t be happier with our experience at Mt Song! Our child has been attending for over 9 months, and the progress has been incredible — both physically and mentally.Shifu Salazar and Coach Megan are patient, professional, and truly care about each student’s growth. They teach traditional Chinese Kung Fu with a perfect balance of discipline, respect, and fun. It’s more than just martial arts — our child is learning focus, self-control, confidence, and resilience.We also love that the school emphasizes cultural values and respect for others. The classes are structured, safe, and encouraging, and the atmosphere feels like a second family.
June 27 · Jenkin WAs someone who started martial arts 25 years ago and been to countless schools across Florida, this is by far the best of them all. The knowledge and skill of the instructors is unmatched and what’s better is their ability to remain humble. Shifu and Coach Megan are most supportive and welcoming martial arts instructors in all of the southeast. To attest to their skill, they and their students have won countless awards at tournaments including me and my classmates this year. They’re the kind of people that make me want to continue working hard and striving to be better. Wouldn’t want to attend anywhere else.
July 02 · Matthew FerralMy kids have been going to Mt Song Martial Arts Academy for a few months now, and they absolutely love it! The lessons are super organized, and the instructors are amazing at working with kids. They make sure the kids follow proper form and technique in a really professional way. I highly recommend it!
November 02 · Jose JaimesI discovered Mt Song and Tai Chi through a dear friend of mine. I had no experience withany type of martial arts, so I was definitely a fish out of water. On that first day what I discovered was a place that was welcoming, an instructor who was warm, patient and who had a great sense of humor. Shifu and Megan truly treat their students like family. Then the world closed and I found it too hard to do virtually so my lessons eventually went by the wayside. 5 years later I discover they opened school minutes from my house and, somewhat nervously, decided to try again. Best decision I’ve ever made.
December 08 · Laurie SierraThis month makes 9 years learning the art of tai chi with the best master Shifu Mario at the best Mt Song school in Tampa!! I look forward to his on line and in person classes throughout the week. He’s the best in his teachings and I’ve met many students who’ve now become friends and my warrior family!! Shifu is a dedicated, passionate and knowledgeable teacher in martial arts and I would highly recommend and encourage anyone to join!! Sign up today and make this a part of your daily practice!!
