Tactics Jiu Jitsu

“If you’re looking for a safe environment to learn and practice bjj, checkout the Tactics Jiu Jitsu in Temple Terrace/USF area. This is a family owned small business that embraces inclusiveness and diversity. The head instructor is Joey Best who is a certified bjj instructor with 23 years of experience. My wife and I have been training under Joey on and off for 9 years. We plan to enroll our daughter into the kid’s program when it starts.”

“I’ve been learning Jiu Jitsu from Joey since 2015 and ive been at Tactics since the first day it opened. I’m a business owner who is extremely picky about who and what I pour into because like most people I consider my time valuable. I’m no world champion but I do leave every class feeling like it because of the people around me. Great variety of colored belts including black belts on the mats every day to train with if you’re more advanced and looking for friendly competition or just starting out and need someone experienced to help you. Can’t say enough good things about this group of people. Temple Terrace is lucky to have Joey and Amanda opening its doors there. Try out a class, you won’t regret it.”

“With a great culture and the best instructor you won’t find a better spot to train! The atmosphere is welcoming and supportive, making it a fantastic place for beginners and advanced practitioners alike. The instructor's expertise is unmatched, providing top-notch training and guidance. Whether you're looking to improve your skills or just enjoy a friendly community, this gym is the perfect place to train and grow in the world of jiu jitsu.”

“Welcoming facility and incredibly CLEAN! I’m confident Mr. Best is one of of the most knowledgeable Brazilian Jiu Jitsu black belts in Florida and everyone at the gym was more than kind to me. Although everyone was competitive and skilled, they made me feel safe during rolling which is a HUGE necessity for me when choosing a gym. Amanda greeted me with a smile as soon as I entered and directed me to Joseph for my liability waver and tour. The mats are well maintained and I personally watched them sweep, mop, and disinfect after training which is more than I can say about many other gyms I’ve visited. The bathrooms were sparkling, and the drinking fountain was filtered and ice cold. There’s a designated area for visitors so there’s no shoes on the mat, closed shelving for members gym bags, and 40 ft of windows for all of the natural light you could ever need. Whoever did the mural painting on the walls really knocked it out of the park and I love that they support local artists in their community. All in all, beautiful space that’s well taken care of. It’s a pleasure to train here and I definitely have found my new home gym. I’m ecstatic. This is exactly what Temple Terrace needed, no more commuting to Ybor City for Jiu Jitsu. As soon as they add kids classes I will be bringing my whole family!”

“What an amazing place. Honestly. We went from one kid in jujitsu to all 3 of our girls are now doing a mix of kids classes and my older 2 are starting adult and womens classes. We love it here. 10 out of 10 would recommend ! Amanda and Joey are phenomenal with both children's and adult classes!!!”
