Oliver Martial Arts Academy is a great place for karate classes in Riverview. The instructors are patient, respectful, and really good with kids of all ages. They teach more than karate they also help kids build confidence, focus, and discipline. They also offer an afterschool transportation program and seasonal camps. No doubt they are known as the best karate academy in the Riverview area. If you’re looking for kids karate classes in Riverview or near Brandon, Gibsonton, or Winthrop, I definitely recommend them. The school is clean, welcoming, and family friendly.

My son has only been there for a few weeks; this is his first time at this summer camp, and he absolutely loves it! The entire team is responsible and incredibly creative. He'll definitely be going again next year! ❤️

Our experience with Oliver Martial Arts Academy has been incredible! Sensei Rafael is a true expert in karate, bringing a wealth of knowledge and skill to every class. Senpai Ian is fantastic with the kids; he has a unique way of making learning katas both fun and challenging, which has been especially impactful for my son, who is autistic. Thanks to the supportive and skilled OMA team, he has grown immensely! And a huge shoutout to Veronica—she is the backbone of the academy, keeping everyone accountable and ensuring a positive, structured environment. My daughter even won her first National Competition in karate, something we know wouldn’t have been possible without the dedication and encouragement from OMA. We couldn’t be more grateful for this amazing community!

My sister goes there she has autism, before she started there she was shy and quiet and had random outbursts of anger and rage. Ever since join she is much better to hang around and she is not afraid to talk to people. Also the problem with her anger is mostly gone. She was never really athletic never wanted to do anything that involved exercise of any sort but now she love to practice and work out. I have also felt very loved an welcomed by the staff the are very lovely once you get to know them. I definitely recommend going there!!
