My wife and I were looking for a friendly, family oriented MMA classes for our son (10) and daughter (12). They love martial arts and have been doing it for years, in an after school program (TKD). Well, after looking around, we joined Gracie PAC MMA. Let me tell you, this place is perfect. Their staff and coaches are incredible; friendly, helpful, knowledgeable and experience on everything MMA. Professor Cris Rodriguez is great with kids, amazing teacher. We are extremely happy with Gracie MMA, their staff is great, they are very organize and their curriculum (bjj, muay thai, kick boxing, etc....) has everything we were looking for. Great place for the entire family.

Come train with the BEST! This is NOT your normal after school karate class. We were amazed at the amount of technique even the youngest students pick up after just a few classes. Coach Cris is awesome with the kids. She expects more then just good fighting from them. She stays involved with how they are doing in school and at home, giving her students the incentive to be the best at everything they do.

I can't say enough about how much I love this place! My son is learning so much and he LOVES going to class. There's something so rewarding in watching your child learn and grow so quickly :) Coach Chris, Coach Dan and Coach Rich have all been amazing! I couldn't ask for a better environment for my son. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and so much of yourself - we truly appreciate it!

Heard thru word of mouth. Then checked it out and noticed great character in their students and the attentive staff. The coach had noticeable rapport with the kids in the class. My daughter loved it. She can't wait to get back. She even cleaned her room! Huge plus.

Gracie PAC MMA has been one of, if not the best, mixed martial arts gym I have been a part of. The kids program/instruction is second to none, and offers world class BJJ instruction for adults as well as one of the most promising striking programs in the US, Bang Muay Thai. Countless kids and adults have competed at the highest level under the GPAC banner, with even more discovering what martial arts can do for them. Whether you want to compete or get in great shape, this facility has the program for you

Our family has been coming to Gracie PAC Tampa for nearly two years. We began sending our son first. Our main goals were for him to experience the physical and mental benefits derived from regular physical exercise. Instantly we realized how special this place is, and how amazing Coach Cris is with the kids, as well as adults. She is fair but firm, and as she commands respect, she encourages these kids to rise to their full potential, also providing valuable discussions on character, sportsmanship, and leadership, as part of her curriculum.

My husband takes some of the adult jiu jitsu and kickboxing classes, from which he has benefitted greatly, and I truly enjoy being a member of the ladies' bootcamp group. These ladies represent a wide range of fitness levels and ages. Each class, we all get together to kick butt, do our best, and encourage each other in a true team environment. I never leave this class disappointed.
Gracie PAC Tampa MMA - best place EVER for your anyone in your family to train at.

Well it's about time I write a review! My boys joined Gracie PAC as little Ninjas about 4 months ago. They absolutely love it! Professor Cris is an amazing teacher! She's very enthusiastic about teaching and she is very patient. My boys love going to class. They are 4 &7 . They never want to miss a class. They have learned so much and continue to learn with each class. They love earning strips on their belt. This is a really great positive atmosphere for kids and families. I'm very satisfied with our experience.

I took Jiu Jitsu a few years back at another facility and decided to give this one a try. I took my first lesson last night and could not believe the content. Very structured and professional. Easy to learn and everyone was eager to assist me being the new guy. Other places teach you a couple of moves. Each involving many steps and you still won't understand it. Garcia PAC teaches you a technique and teaches you other techniques that involve some of the same steps. It made me confident that if I try something and am not able to secure the submission, then I can roll into another technique just as easy and It gives you options and makes you think. I liked that approach rather than what I was given in the past. A+ school and is 100% legit. I am confident this time around I will take it all the way with my training. When you find a place like this you take advantage of the opportunity to train there.

We love it at Gracie PAC! They focus on fitness, strength, form, and most importantly they work hard every lesson to help teach my children how to effectively defend themselves against bullies and other attacks. It's easy to see this group of educators clearly loves kids and have a passion for sharing their vast knowledge with their students! Best MMA in the Bay for kids!

I took my first class tonight. As soon as you enter, you are greeted by smiling faces who are just as excited to have you there as you are to be there. The coaches there were phenomenal. They were so incredibly encouraging and patient, it was a breeze picking it up because there was no pressure. Great job at creating such an inviting atmosphere.

Still On The Fence About Online Training?

Still on the fence about online training?

Skeptical about its effectiveness? πŸ€”

We totally understand and we want to share with you some common myths and misconceptions about online martial arts classes!

MYTH#1. There is no “interaction” with the person doing it. = π—™π—”π—Ÿπ—¦π—˜!

At Gracie PAC MMA we don’t just do Pre-recorded or Facebook Live classes. We use video chat software so both the instructor and student can hear and see each other to get feedback making it very optimal! This is one thing that makes us really stand out from other options out there.

MYTH#2. I need a fancy computer or smart phone with 12g mega ultra wi-fi with the satelliteΒ dish from space directly plugged into my system LOL = π—™π—”π—Ÿπ—¦π—˜!

Now, I’m not saying that won’t help, but our classes aren’t filled with 30+ people. We spread the classes throughout the day to prevent as much lag as possible (and not to mention, it’s way more convenient).

MYTH#3. I need a heavy bag, soft mats, and really big open space. π—™π—”π—Ÿπ—¦π—˜!

We’ve had kids join us from inside closets before! The truth is you don’t need a ton of space (while it helps) to get a good workout in.

MYTH#4. Everyone is going to judge my living space… = π—™π—”π—Ÿπ—¦π—˜!

Lol I get it, the place might be “messy” but it’s okay! We aren’t here to judge anyone and neither do any of our members. We always welcome everyoneΒ  πŸ™‚ And if you’re really concerned about it, there is a “Virtual Background” option to turn your living room into ANY backdrop on earth!Β 

MYTH#5. Why not just go on Youtube and find martial arts classes for kids for free? Wouldn’t it be better? = π—™π—”π—Ÿπ—¦π—˜!

Here’s the thing.

Your kids could do 1 or 2 videos, but never get a sense of progress because they don’t get feedback from a REAL live person.

That’s one of the biggest benefit, live interaction.

And our Coaches CARE about your child’s progress.

We get it. Training in person is better. And we totally agree. We would much rather train students that way.

But it’s simply not an option for anyone.

So what have you got to lose?

In fact, doing these classes earlier prepares your kids for regular classes when we do open.
