Joining Gracie PAC has been one of the best decisions I’ve made in my life. This MMA gym offers basics & advanced classes for quite a few martial arts, which only a couple offer in Tampa Bay & most only offer BJJ & some “striking”. Gracie PAC has a lot of class slots, offers classes for boxing, muay thai / kickboxing, wrestling, gi/no gi Brazilian jiu jitsu & sparring sessions. Plus, this gym has the biggest number of pro, amateur, and comp team athletes actually competing in fights, numbering over 20 athletes, so there is a serious group of men and women that work very hard. I love that sense of competition and commitment and community. Pictured is one of the MMA fights one of the fighters fought at. Very modern, clean, spacious facility, a large number of coaches that coach for kids & adults. Some of them work with world class UFC fighters and I learn something new every day. Head Coach Billy is always a joy to encounter and train wit
This gym truly has something special. You train with people from all over the world — all shapes and sizes, all skill levels — but the one thing everyone has in common is a great attitude and an amazing gym environment. When you come here, you have an abundance of training partners and an abundance of classes. Whether you work early mornings, regular hours, or late nights, there are morning, evening, and night classes, so there’s honestly no excuse not to train no matter your schedule. Coach Billy and all of the coaches are excellent. If you want to improve your wrestling, kickboxing, boxing, muay thai or jiu-jitsu, it’s all here under one roof.
GraciePAC is a gym that truly delivers. I’ve trained here for almost 4 years, and my son has been training here for nearly 7—and we both love it. The fun, energetic atmosphere and super friendly staff make every class enjoyable. Adults even get the chance to train with professional fighters, including active UFC athletes, which makes the experience exciting and motivating. The children’s programs are excellent. The classes are well‑structured, confidence‑building, and keep kids engaged and eager to return. The coaching is outstanding across the board; the instructors explain techniques clearly and really care about each student’s progress. Whether you’re new to martial arts, an experienced competitor, or a parent looking for a great program for your child, I highly recommend giving GraciePAC a try.
I’ve been training at this gym for a while now, and it’s easily one of the best decisions I’ve made. The coaches are incredibly knowledgeable and patient, breaking down techniques in a way that makes sense whether you’re brand new or more experienced. Every class feels structured, purposeful, and fun. What really sets this place apart is the atmosphere. The team is friendly, supportive, and genuinely invested in helping each other improve. There’s a great balance of hard training and mutual respect — you get pushed, but you never feel out of place. The facility is clean, well‑maintained, and has plenty of mat space. Classes are offered at convenient times, and there’s always a good mix of training partners.

I’ve just concluded my 2 week trial available to anyone interested in trying out the gym. This gym Gracie PAC MMA is by far the best gym in the city. I’ve been to over 6 different gyms in Tampa Bay and the vibe would feel off with either the instructors or the other students, sometimes both, but upon entering Gracie PAC for the first time it felt instantly different than the rest. I was greeted by friendly staff as well as friendly and welcoming members of the establishment. They offer different levels of BJJ which range from beginner friendly teachings to more advanced techniques. As well as various different levels of MMA. If you have any doubts at all like I did in the beginning, come in and try it and let the charisma, professionalism, and proficiency of Gracie PAC MMA do the talking.
