“Visited Tampa and trained with the team on a Saturday morning. Great group of guys, very welcoming and really nice technique. Also seemed to have incorporated some wrestling aspect to their jiu jitsu, which made for a really well-rounded grappling experience. Highly recommend giving them a try! Thank you Professor Bamboo!”

“Gracie Westchase is a great place to train! Bamboo’s knowledge and experience are remarkable, and it’s reflected in all his martial arts programs. The instructors provide high level training in a welcoming environment which fosters learning at any skill level. Every class is a challenging workout and allows students to really push themselves. There’s an energy in Gracie Westchase that drives students to do their best and I really appreciate that aspect of the school. I’m a retired Green Beret and training at Gracie Westchase lets me continue to train with phenomenal instructors and be surrounded by Warriors.”
