I have been practicing at Gracie PAC for over a year. I love the staff and environment! Coach Jon and professor Dan are great teachers. Coach Ana is awesome. Even after moving out of the city, I still make the drive.

Always a pleasure to come into the academy. My son started with a Holiday training session in November 2019 and has been attending ever since. The team did an awesome job keeping the kids engaged during the difficult 2020 year by offering virtual classes. My son loves it and most importantly I (along with others) have seen a significant change in his confidence and social skills. Highly recommend 👌. A place to develop skills both on and off the mat 🥋.

We love the staff at Gracie Pac.... the love they all show their students is amazing

The team is awesome, the classes are informative and fun for the kids. They teach values that the students can use in their everyday life. Much more than an activity place, more of a family. The coaches are awesome and so great with the little ones, by far the best decision i have made as a parent to enroll my son. I cant say enough about them!!

My sons 15 been there 2 weeks its worth every penny and he love it. A great way to end a childs day

Gracie Pac is such a positive and encouraging environment for anyone to learn Martial arts! The staff is always so welcoming and professional. Its a great martial arts school for children to learn self-discipline resulting in better grades at school, while having a lot of fun with a great community!

Gracie PAC is an excellent place for children to learn martial arts. Every month their curriculum is carefully laid out and presented for everyone to see. Their punctuality is consistent and class efficiency is maximal. And every staff member is polite and affable. Moreover, if requested by a parent, each coach is caring enough to help mentor, discipline, and guide any student through daily school life or behavior at home. All that plus they provide a system of merit based achievements instilling a sense of confidence and progress without becoming a McDojo. I have no complaints to share concerning these dedicated people at Gracie PAC.

This place is amazing. The staff cares so much about you. It feels like family. It is so refreshing. Cant recommend enough.

I had the opportunity to be a part of Gracie PAC. Dan Martinez is an amazing Coach, an in fact one of the best Competitive BJJ grapplers in the world today. Its been an honor to train under him and also Coach David Bamber who helped me get started in the Gi Program. The staff /Admins have always been kind and helpful, worked it out whenever I had injuries or time off due to my work Schedule. Absolutely Love the place and look forward to going back some day.

My son feels like Gracie PAC is his second home!!! I was in search of an athletic outlet that would keep his attention, maintain discipline, and foster resilience, self reliance and independence. Weve found all of those here. He loves his instructors and is eager to jump out of the car as soon as we turn into the parking lot. My husband and I love the extra evening activities that they host because it gives us time to go on date nights and have our son in a safe environment. Family is so important to us and we feel like weve truly found an extension of our family at Gracie PAC.

My son has been training at Gracie Pac for about 6 months now and really enjoys his time there! He has shown better behavior in school, self-discipline, and focus after working closely with the staff, coaches and students at Gracie PAC!

The place here is phenomenal, the staff here are always helpful and take the time to listen and understand any questions and concerns that you may have. I have been going to this place for a while now and it feels like a family going there. I have been to a few martial art schools and this is by far the best. I would strongly recommend that anyone interested in learning martial arts go here and at least hear what they have to offer - at the very least, you wont be disappointed and should put a good standard to compare others to.

My niece is a student here and every time I take her Im amazed at the patience and enthusiasm the instructors show. They positively encourage the students and keep them focused and disciplined. I highly recommend not only for self defense but for the sheer fun and discipline!

Our son has been here over year. The instructors and staff are great. Highly recommend.

We absolutely love this place. Our 7yr old can’t wait to get here and just love the fun he has. All the while learning a valuable self defense skill. Love Gracie Pac

I thought the place was nice, great training, and even had a good training class but for some reason the front desk lady seemed upset when I didnt sit down with her to talk numbers that same night. I had to leave right after class and told her she could call or email me about costs and schedule. Never got a call, so I emailed, texted, and left a message to get a schedule and cost of monthly classes but never heard back. Its been over a month and now Im not interested in taking classes there.

Wow! My 7 year old visited via a buddy pass & now he has the fever. I really like the emphasis on self control & discipline.

LOVE Gracie Pac. Im new to the area and this place has really made me feel like family. The classes and instructors are amazing. Would recommend to anyone!

The staff are amazing. They are friendly and willing to go above and beyond to help. They are great with the kids. Its a very welcoming environment! I would highly recommend this school!

Great people. Feels like a family!

Great place with good structure for you to maximize your potential. Positive environment for all ages highly recommend!!

Coach Leo is great. Really like competition training class .

Gracie Pac is great! My nephew loves it there! The place is clean, people are great and professional.

Gracie PAC MMA is a premium location for training adults and children alike. I found the staff to be very welcoming and approachable, as well the coaches teaching methods to improve myself and the other members in various forms of martial arts. The structure of the childrens program is second to none as well. I could not recommend this location any more highly if learning a martial art interests you.

The people at Gracie PAC MMA are amazing! The staff are so good to the kids and genuinely care about them. My son loves learning how to be a ninja warrior! Thank you Gracie PAC for all that you do!

I love the gym and there is a great staff! Especially Coach Nate Burke, great guy and super helpful!

My kids and I have been going to Gracie pac for years and I couldn’t be happier with their programs.The staff is great and definitely motivates us to go harder!Not only do they teach self defense and discipline they encourage good manners and basic life skills. Thanks coach Chris for caring for our kids... 🤘🏼

I came to Gracie PAC 6 months ago through a friend who had worked there and ever since I never left. I can say I am beyond thankful to be a part of something so great as Gracie PAC. They whole-heartedly welcome you in with open arms the minute you walk in the door. The coaches are very patience with me; they truly do care for you and your training. I’ve met some incredible people throughout this journey, and can say I have made the right choice coming to Gracie PAC.

I have been with Gracie PAC since the beginning. It is the most welcoming and friendly that it becomes your family. The staff is amazing. They always welcome me with open arms no matter what and they can with you too!

As soon as I walked into the place I knew my wife and I made the right choice. Everything is extremely clean and well put together. The staff were absolutely superb and interacted with everyone that attended, not just my son. They take such interest and care with my son and talk to him in a completely different way that I know I couldn’t. And where I thought my son would be nervous or scared for his first class today, he accepted the challenges presented to him with confidence and excitement! It’s seriously such a great establishment and I couldn’t be happier with the experience!

Love everything about Gracie Pac. Im new to martial arts and have really been enjoying the classes. Instructors are very professional and patient with a newbie like me!

Where I go to feel good! I’ve been with the PAC for 6 years and have made lifelong friends. I enjoy the professors and their teaching style. They motivate you to achieve your goals.

Went in to learn some self defense and get in shape, and the people at Pac were so awesome that I signed the entire family up. What a fun place to train! Great people, great programs, great place!

My sons began training at Gracie PAC this summer and it has been wonderful! I have seen positive changes in their behavior and confidence already. The staff is fantastic, we could not be happier. I can’t wait to watch as my sons continue this journey!

Gracie PAC is absolutely amazing! Coach Dan Martinez is a world class competitor that competes in the biggest competitions known to Jiu-Jitsu kind, but youd never know it by talking to him. So humble, friendly and helpful, just like every single person in the building. 5 stars is not enough.

Great school! I recently relocated from Connecticut where my family was training in amazing martial arts schools. Honestly, I wasnt sure if I could find anything that would compare and then I found Gracie PAC. They have an amazing family atmosphere. I was so happy that I have all 3 of my boys train there and will start training soon too. Coach Cris and staff having an awesome way with kids. Each class provides students with a great experience that encompasses both physical and mental fitness. Not only do they learn martial arts but also learn discipline, respect, and so much more. I highly recommend Gracie PAC. Our family has participated in the After School Program, Various Martial Arts programs, and the Summer Camp. All programs went above my expectations!

The kids program at Gracie PAC is world class. The team comes to take part in our martial arts events from time to time, and they could not be better behaved and respectable competitors and coaches. I have personally trained with Cristina Rodriguez, Dan Martinez, and all the coaches and competitors at Gracie PAC, and they could not be better people. (And it doesnt hurt that the Jiu-Jitsu is top level either!) Highly recommend!

My little brother has been training at Gracie PAC for almost 5 years! He absolutely LOVES training here. He has progressed so much and advanced in classes. He is now a Storm Team member helping out with the younger kids classes. I 100% recommended signing up with them 😇

My son was an advanced TKD student and was losing motivation. I found Gracie PAC and now he is back on track at an even higher level of enthusiasm! The best part is that the anti bully training is meaningful and totally applicable in the real world! A++++ to the Team and we hope that Gracie PAC will become our new martial arts family!

I had the privilege of training at this gyms old location and loved it and the people, but the new location is even better! Everything is clean and welcoming. The training is still excellent. The instructors take time to make sure you know the drill and have a plethora of helpful tips for every type of person for getting those chokes and locks to stick. And of course Professor Chris and Coach Stephanie are hardworking and incredibly kind! They work ridiculously hard to make sure the GPAC family is, indeed, a family from the moment you walk in and are greeted by Bruiser the pug, to the moment you leave feeling like you just got twisted into a pretzel for the last hour. I look forward to training here every time I come to Tampa.

This is the best MMA biz in the area. The gym is clean, staff is super helpful, and the programs are executed like a well oiled machine. Try to find a better kids head coach... no one is better with kids than David.

My two eldest grandsons (ages 7 and 9) started attending Gracie over the summer break and I must say that I was impressed right away.Summer camp was amazing. It was filled with activities and adventure my boys really enjoyed the daily martial arts lessons, field trips and outdoor activities. They would not stop talking about it, and EVERYDAY they were excited to share with everyone at home all of the things that they had done.The staff is wonderful, everyone we encounter goes out of their was to interact with them, which makes them feel valued and important.I am very pleased with their development since they started attending. This is definitely a great place for kids to learn and grow..

My kids, wife and I all LOVE this academy! Professional and organized with wolrd-class coaching! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

My three-year-old was not accepted into their 3 & 4 year Little Ninjas program. I think they want almost 100% attention and he doesnt have that. I would say he has 80%. So I took the money I was prepared to spend at Gracie and we went and do private lessons with Martial Arts Advantage. He is excellent with young kids. Aside from that it seemed like a nice facility, the instructor was good and they easily processed my refund.

I came over from the UK and trained here for a week, everyone here are so welcoming and The instructors were fantastic and broke everything down simply. My weeks training here is something I will always look back on with fond memories and I can honestly say that training here has been the highlight of my trip to America 🇺🇸

Best Childrens program I have experienced in the area. I enjoy the family atmosphere, dedication, patience, and respect that are instilled in every instructor and student. I highly recommend to anyone whom might be questioning is this for my child Respect and honor is earned and every class starts with both my daughter and son showing and understanding that word by bowing to their professor. This follows to the classroom and of course our home. This is something that is not commonly seen in the world today, and imperative for our family. The Adult programs to accommodate the parents as well are available at morning and night. Private Sessions too!!! What away to advance and boost your kids or families ego and focus. OSS! Keep up the Good Work!! Its nice to see a team strive and set goals. This is something our kids will stay involved in, and is essential as school.

Out of All the Martial Art Studios around... Gracie PAC is by Far the BEST !!!!Choosing one for my Grandson was overwhelming until I went to Gracie PACThe moment we walked in the door we were Greeted by a Friendly, knowledgeable staff.It is Family Owned and Operated.Owners, Cris and Stephanie were involved from beginning to end.Clean, friendly, fun... SafeSo glad we are part of their family now ... and it is a FAMILY when your there

Gracie PAC is a fantastic recreational facility. The staff treats you like family and everyone is very welcoming and friendly.Classes are no overwhelming and you feel like you get that one on one attention from the instructor.The ASP is great for any student. It offers a lot of benefits and the number one is that children get to participate in a martial arts lesson.Gracie PAC, is just that, its all about family and PARENTS and CHILDREN.

Awesome. kids love it

I highly recommend Gracie Pac if youre in the Tampa area. I have trained with all of the Head Coaches of the gym for years and they are top notch. The facility is clean and the programs are very organized. Awesome place to train!

Great places, very professional!!!

Highly recommend!!!All my sons have trained with Professor Cris since they were 8 years old. I couldnt recommend a better Academy. Their entire staff are so welcoming and very knowledgeable. I cant recommend them enough. Gracie Pac is our home away from home 😊

Coach Cris and her team are amazing! They have a great program and the environment feels like family!

So last night I took my very first mix martial arts class and it was amazing absolutely amazing!! I will definitely be taking it again! Class for me was just a warm up, I was pumped after class too continue! However, on the flip side, I am paying for it today my mid lower back is absolutely hurting and it continues, I can barely walk without it hurting my legs! But dang is it worth it!!

Gracie PAC is an incredible martial arts school for all ages. They offer a truly special experience that instills amazing values that will live with you or your child for the rest of their lives. Highly recommend!!

Gracie PAC goes beyond being a gym - it is a FAMILY. Not just for people that have been there for years either, they treat every person that comes through that door like they are important. All the instructors are top notch and their structure is incomparable. I will continue to recommend this gym to any and everyone!

I couldnt be happier with our new family at Gracie PAC MMA. From the moment the very first class started, I knew that Coach Cris and her amazing staff were just what we were wanted for our son. This program has been such a wonderful source of discipline, confidence, self-defense and friendships for him!! Its hard to imagine having a better group of people to motivate, support and teach these kids. One of my favorite aspects of the program is that the older kids can assist with the younger kids, which is a benefit to BOTH- the older ones learning responsibility & feeling the rewards of mentoring, and the younger ones watching and learning by example. By far my favorite part is just watching my son learn new things and become more self assured every day! Coach Cris has a natural rapport with all of the kids and I feel extremely thankful to have found Gracie PAC MMA.

My 5 year old daughter has been going to summer camp at Gracie PAC for a few weeks now and I just love them!! She went to daycare previously and I was nervous about the big change for her but shes come home SO many days now telling me how happy is she gets to go to Gracie PAC every day! The staff is also amazing..every single one of them! My daughter always tells me she loves all the coaches bc they are all so sweet to her all the time! Plus its ALWAYS nice and clean! Best decision ever was signing my daughter up here!

This place has it all. Its like a Martial Art/Fitness super center thats great for anyone and everyone looking for something extra in their life. Whether youre 6 years old or 60 years old, fitness, self-defense, and fun are what youll find at Gracie PAC. The instructors are very knowledgeable, friendly, and determined to make you better at whatever youre interested in getting out of their program. Would highly recommend over any other martial art school or any other boring gym in the area!

My daughter has been training at Gracie Pac for a year now and from the first day we walked in there we knew this place was going to be the perfect match. Professor Cris and all the coaches are amazing with the kids. There is no other academy that could compare to this one - hands down THEE BEST in town!

I was a business owner in Tampa for many years and have seen the owner Christina grow Gracie Pac from the ground up.. Christina is by far one of the greatest business owners I have ever seen her level of commitment to her students is unmatched.From youth to adults classes, self defense training to high level Jiu jitsu, even strength and conditioning Gracie Pac MMA has it all!!!Spend some time and train I promise this gym will not only get your body in shape it will also strengthen your mind and build your confidence.I’m a proud supporter of Gracie Pac MMA.Allen BerubeBusiness ownerUFC TUF5 Vet

Very talented and credible instruction led by leaders participating and competing in martial arts! This school is professional, yet very family oriented with the owners interacting with each member to make the experience of belonging exceptional and personal. Highly recommended !

Great place to learn, fun for the whole family! Passionate instructors help children develop life skills and discipline while teaching real Gracie self defense skills in the kids jiu-jitsu class, the BANG kickboxing classes are led by motivating and encouraging instructors that help you get the most out of your workout, and the adult Jiu Jitsu program is a great physical and mental workout with some of the best teachers and practitioners around. Top notch clean Academy with professional staff.

Amazing place to be!! All the coaches and staff are vibrant and authentic! Everyone is treated like family which gives the gym a level of comfort that is rare. The many different programs allow for a variety of people to join, with classes tailored for children from 3 years old to 14 years old to adults. Definitely one of a kind!

Vince and Dan are two of the most experienced and talented instructors in the area, yet both are very humble. Great environment and atmosphere! Highly recommend!

Ever since I met Cris Rodriguez, I have been super impressed by her professionalism, her talent and her commitment to her craft! One of the first introductions I got to Cris was when I saw a video of her at a tournament where she went up against a male opponent. Cris stayed calm the entire time and then submitted the guy with a triangle choke. This video sums up Criss talent and work ethic in a nutshell. When a challenge is thrown at Cris and her staff, they rise to the occasion, always!

This Mixed Martial Arts facility is amazing! Both of my kids have enjoyed great experiences there. Coach Chris is the bomb and I would highly recommend this place to any and all interested.

I started coming to Gracie PAC a few months ago and I have nothing but great things to say about this place. Everyone I have encountered here has been super welcoming and encouraging. (I even got a report card in the mail highlighting that Im good at and giving pointers on things I can work on. It is now on the fridge) All of the coaches here are top-notch and it is motivating just being around them.There are children, teen, and adult classes and something for everyone here. All you have to do is stop by to see what a great academy this is.

Great place, and the staff is awesome..My 6 yrs old love it.. I Highly recommend It.

Excellent BJJ classes available all day. Cant recommend them enough!

Just the best!

This is my daughters school and I must say after traveling throughout the country and having seen many schools and their programs....this one is superior. Not only is it run by an educator schooled in teaching methods, but it is run by a passionate, competitive and caring individual. Her mom and I were there at the grand opening and to say it was well attended and supported is an understatement. It has currently outgrown the facility and is moving to a much larger space. That in itself is a testament to the community support and the overwhelming success of the program. Way to go Professor Cris. Hard work pays off! Keep it up

Only been a member of Gracie PAC Mma 4 months now and it has already become a second home for me. Such a great vibe as well as a positive learning atmosphere is what separates Gracie PAC from most gyms I believe. Whether you are an experienced martial artist or someone just looking to take your first class, I highly recommend choosing Gracie PAC!

Gracie PAC MMA is a great family to join whether you are a parent or not. The Coaching staff is very qualified, friendly, and truly invested in meeting your goals as a new or experienced martial artist! I highly recommend anyone looking to improve themselves.

Very clean facility and everyone was very helpful and instructive. The lessons are very detailed and broken down in a way that makes them very easy to absorb. I had not previously been to a CTC but the methods of teaching are very effective and include quizzing and repeating the pricincples that are the foundations of the art. Can’t recommend this school enough.

I have been a member of Gracie PAC for two and a half years now and wouldnt want to be anywhere else. I have lost over 80 pounds with the help and inspiration of my coaches and have seen significant growth in my self. The coaches are truly knowledgeable and all aim to help guide their students towards success.

This is the best kids program in the state of Florida, possibly even the U.S. Gracie Pac has programs and procedures in place to teach your child not only how to defend themselves, but also mold them into outstanding young human beings in life. I would recommend giving your child these invaluable gifts of self confidence and discipline through a membership at Gracie PAC.

Gracie PAC has an amazing kids program. My 5 yr old and 3 yr old love ninja class and have been going for over a year. I started myself about 4 months ago in the BANG Muay Thai program. Gracie PAC has become our home away from home.

Stopped in for Bang Muay Thai on a Friday morning to get some training in while on vacation. It was an impeccable atmosphere with supportive, engaged students and trainer. Will definitely be back in the future!

Gracie Pac MMA is without a doubt my favorite place to be. Soon as you enter the building you know that you’re going to improve as a martial artist and as a human being. The staff is welcoming and professional, The coaches are full of knowledge and brings a lot of energy to each class. The students/teammates are great and will always give you that extra push every class. I hope to see you on the mat. Oss!

Professor Cris is the bomb!! Certified School Teacher and an MMA Black Belt, just what our son needed. Professor Cris, along with Coach Seth, conduct excellent training and provide our kids with life lessons in how to protect themselves. Their classes are not only informative but also fun and exciting. Furthermore, there are as many girls in the class as there are boys. As a father, I was happy to see so many young girls involved and cannot wait for my two year old princess to hit the mat when that time comes.......Gracie Pac is awesome!!!

Everything about Gracie Pac is great, the coaches, their core focus, the staff and they have help both my boys learn discipline, respect and self confidence like never before.

Ive been a member of Gracie Pac MMA for around a year now and its been the best year of my life. This academy has become home to me! The staff and coaches are very friendly and knowledgeable. Plenty of classes available so no excuses with a busy schedule 😉

Im a gym owner in Clearwater and when Im in Tampa I always go to Gracie Pac to train. They have the best coaches for Adults and Children. Their gym is very clean which is important to me and the atmosphere is so welcoming. Theyre a great big family that love to help the community.Highly recommend!!!!

Gracie PAC is a place I consider my second home, I’ve been training bjj and mma for over a year now and I wouldn’t be where I am without them. The coaches at PAC are inspiring. They invest there time and dedication to you and help you reach your goals. From the coaches to your training partners, they are constantly motivating you to reach your full potential. Here at Gracie PAC my training partners have turned into family, and walking through these doors was the best thing I could’ve done you won’t regret it!

I love the atmosphere and facilities here! Dan Martinez is one of the best instructors in the Tampa area, as well as the state! Super fortunate to have a guy like that to learn from!

Without a doubt one of, if not THE, best INVESTMENT you can make for yourself and/or your child! This place is truly LIFE CHANGING!!

I visited Tampa Bang Muay Thai at Gracie PAC in Tampa from Legacy MMA (Bang Muay Thai Burbank) and Im going to squeeze another class in tomorrow before I fly back to L.A. Everyone was fun & helpful, coach Vince led a great class where I got a good workout & some feedback on my technique. I would definitely recommend checking this place out, my brother, sister, and Mom (locals) will all be coming by to try some classes. Thanks again!Matt

Gracie PAC is so awesome. I have been training here for 6 years and the coaches are really creative at what they do. Ive competed all over the United States and Ive taken 2nd place 3 years in a row at the Pan American Championships in California. I love helping out with the kids classes and look forward to one day becoming a Coach!

Amazing academy that offers Brazilian Jiujitsu and Muay Thai Instruction for both Kids and Adults. Had the opportunity to get to know Cris and Stephanie ( owners) they have created a training environment thats healthy and geared towards getting great results on and off the mat. there customer service is second to none especially in the Martial arts industry .Highly recommend Gracie PAC.

My son cant get enough of this place. He is excited to go and the staff is knowledgeable and friendly. Great place to take you kids to learn all things about martial arts (mental and honor) and not just the fighting skills.

Great Instruction and a great group of people. One of the best places for training in the martial arts. A+++

Had our first day and it was awesome. Really good environment, awesome instructors. Highly recommend checking the place out.

WE LOVE GRACIE PAC! #PACLIFE❤️

My son has been here for almost 2 years now. Not only does he enjoy MMA but it has made such an improvement with his behavior at home and at school. I myself love the all women bootcamp, fun workouts that really make you push yourself.

Great facilities. The coaches were wonderful. All the students were super friendly as well. Cant wait to be back in Tampa.

The SuperWoman BootCamp class has literally changed my life. I have gained a strong sense of confidence in myself--growing both mentally and emotionally. When I entered Gracie almost 2 years ago to try this class, I never imagined being where I am now. Coach Cris has shown me that there is nothing that I cant accomplish once I set my mind to it. I have also grown to LOVE the women that take on this challenge with me every Tuesday and Thursday. It is the highlight of my day to get to the gym, put in work with these ladies and encourage each other to get better.Two years ago, I never imagined running my fastest mile in under 8 minutes. I never knew I was strong enough to shave over 14 minutes off of a workout in 4 weeks. It starts with self and the attitude that YOU have. Having Coach Cris and these wonderful ladies around makes me feel that I can accomplish anything...not only in the gym, but in my everyday life.

Coach Cris is wonderful with the kids. Teaches respect, discipline and self worth. Could not ask for a better role model for my children!

Amazing academy - They have the BEST program - Absolutely recommend it...
