I was in town on business and looking for a place to train. I filled out the contact form and was…read moreimmediately contacted by Jules via text. Jules was very responsive in providing all of the info for me to "drop in" to the Advanced class on Thursday at 6:00 pm. The class was taught by Professor Mateo. He was very welcoming. The students were as well and I felt right at home. Great instruction and 30 minutes of hard but controlled rolling. Everyone was great. Good mix of ages at class. (I am 48). Cant wait to have the opportunity again.

Gracie Tampa South is an exceptionally great gym!…read more I've had the opportunity to train at several gyms over the past 30 years, and I have never experienced this level of quality of service, excellent facilities, knowledgeable and effective coaching and most importantly a positive environment. My whole family, my wife and three daughters have been training Jiu Jitsu and MMA for more than 5 years. I don't take who my wife and daughters train with lightly. We visited many gyms in the Tampa area before deciding to join Gracie Tampa South. Now after nearly a year of training here, I feel qualified to share my assessment. The kids and teen programs are second to none. Not only do the coaches provide absolutely impeccable technical instruction, they create an environment that engages the kids, keeps them positive and motivated. My three daughters have never been more excited and motivated to train than they are at GTS. The competition program, again is exceptional, and the GTS Competition team's performance and results shows this clearly. You really have to experience how these coaches are so good at creating an awesome environment for the kids to learn all the amazing lessons that come from training Martial Arts. There is a very specific reason that this gym is such a great place. It comes from the top down. This attitude of professionalism, positivity, and the creation of such an exceptional environment to train is due to the exceptional leadership of the owner and head Coach Matt Arroyo and his family. Not only is the coaching and support staff so good, but frequently the very best MMA personalities in the world will be hosted by the GTS team. I've had more opportunities to train with World Champions in just the last year at GTS than in any other place. It's an attitude of excellence from the leader that permeates the whole gym. I have never experienced a more safe and effective environment for my family to train in over 30 years. Without hesitation or reservation, I wholeheartedly recommend Gracie Tampa South MMA. It is an exceptional place, and I count myself and my family as fortunate to have the privilege to train here.

Awhile back they had an open house in which he sat outside watching a video on his phone...acted like he was being bothered and didn't want to talk....very unpleasant and not pleasant at all. Once I was considering taking classes here but after speaking to the owner, I'll never even consider it again. They're many martial artists out there who are great to talk to and at least act like they enjoy what they do instead of this jerk. Don't go here!!

They cover the fundamentals of Tae Kwon Do and keep it fresh on a weekly basis. The classes are well organized. Kids are always interacting, respectful and seem to always have fun. The after school program runs for an hour Monday-Friday. An hour of Martial arts lessons followed by Homework time. No Tae Kwon Do on Fridays, kids get to play and socialize. Program runs for $55 per week if you choose to drop off your child yourself, or you can do $75 a week to include transportation from school. Once a month they do Parent night out aka Friday fever. Kids stay until 10pm, enjoy games, pizza, etc... It's a good time, still, at $30 a head, I find it a bit much. They do stretches, and martial art drills on a daily basis, I'd like to see a little more exercising though... push ups, crunches, etc. Have yet to try their summer program, it sounds very promising.
