Gracie Tampa South MMA And BJJ

"My experience at Gracie Tampa South BJJ has been amazing. My 7 yr old son has been training there for 2 yrs and has flourished! Coach David is an amazing hands on coach - someone who knows how to motivate a student to want to be their best. He encourages them and lifts them up making my son want to try harder and do better. My son was bullied at school, Coach David would have little pep talks with him, boosting his confidence and helping him not be scared. The whole team at Gracie South is phenomenal. Matt Arroyo, the owner, usually trains adults, however takes time out to train and roll with the little kids --- > they LOVE it! Coach Christine and Caleb usually host parents night out making it so much fun my kids don't want to go home! The keyword for this gym is that it is FUN!!!!! The gym is safe and very clean. Honestly, its the best gym and I feel comfortable having my son go there. You won't find a more caring, family-like environment than Gracie South."

"Can’t say enough good things about this place. High level training, active and up and coming UFC/BJJ athletes. Coming into BJJ in my late 30s I’ve found great training partners and a welcoming and friendly environment. The kids program is incredible. The owners Mat and Nat are heavily involved and you can feel the attention to detail everywhere from the coaching and events to the thoroughly cleaned training mats. If you are considering MMA or BJJ you need to come give this gym a try."

"This is the best kids martial arts gym in Tampa. Both of my sons train here, one for 1 year and the other for over 4 years. The kids program has a lot to offer (jiujitsu, judo, wrestling and kickboxing) plus a fantastic after school, summer camps and the opportunity to compete in regional tournaments. Not only do they improve children's athletic ability and confidence, but also teach respect, humility, and responsibility."

"I can’t say enough great things about Gracie Tampa South. My 7 year old daughter just finished 6 weeks of summer camp there and she had a blast! They kept the kids engaged and active all day and my daughter couldn’t wait to go back every day. The camp counselors and the entires staff are professional and they love kids! We are enrolling for classes in the fall!"

"How to start? 50 year old starting his Brazilian Jiu Jitsu journey. Staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming. Members quickly become family. Actually, that would be the best way to describe GTS- Family. Strongly recommend you give it a try."
