"Finding Arena Combat Sports has been a blessing to our family. From day one Coach Carlos has been a great support to motivate and encourage my teenage boy to work hard, be accountable, and dedicated to the sport. The classes are fun and everyone helps each other to improve there skill set. Thank you, ACS!"

"Coach Carlos has been a great teacher so far! I’m new to martial arts but coach does a good job of explaining the movements and helping me adjust my form. Every class I learn a little bit more and it’s been great for my cardio, mobility, and mind-body connection. The coach is receptive to my questions and concerns, which is important when engaging in such a tactile, contact-based, and potentially dangerous activity, especially as a woman in a male-dominated space. He also employs numerous TAs that are willing and able to help with your progress as well. Overall the morale of the environment is great, everyone is supportive of one another and welcoming of new comers. I believe this is a place where I can really learn and grow in martial arts, specifically Muay Thai and jiu jitsu. They also offer boxing and athletic conditioning classes. If you’re interested in a low-pressure/encouraging but challenging environment to learn self-defense, just have fun, or get in shape, this could be the place for you."

"My son enjoys his time there. he is learning jujitsu ; It helps him with discipline. Coach Carlos is a good guy!"

"I've been attending this gym for almost a few months now and with both the friendly, uplifting environment and Carlos as well as Eduardo being excellent mentors, I've been able to instill solid confidence both in myself and in my developing technique of Muay Thai. It's an intensive workout that has seen me drop 15+ lbs since I started -- and as a first-time learner, I'm definitely glad I picked this as a go-to. Not only that, but as a resident in Gables, Little Havana is just a short trip away and very easy to get to with parking in the back. Would recommend and HAVE recommended this place to friends and family."
