Ybor City Jiu-Jitsu Club

“A solid group of fighters at this gym. I was fortunate to stop in while I was in town for work and the instructors and students were incredibly welcoming to me and helped me prepare for an upcoming competition. No AC in the gym makes the rounds more fun and your opponents even tougher. Absolutely will stop by next time I'm in the area Update- stopped by again tonight and the team at Ybor was just as welcoming and just as tough as before. No way you can find a better Jiu-jitsu gym in Tampa”

“Super welcoming gym with the most real feel I've gotten on the road. Finally got to check off Florida on this trip to Tampa and YCJJC is among the best places I've dropped in to train out. Five countries and twenty-five states now. They have plenty of scheduling options and we're responsive to messaging to make sure it was ok to drop in. Sal, Jake, Brent and Rodney among others made me feel welcome during the casual drill session on Friday at 6AM. I was torn between that and the 6AM Thursday open roll but Brent was a tough as nails, super crafty fellow grey haired practitioner who had some cool stuff to share so this class turned out to be perfect. Location has got great airflow and cool art on the walls along with plenty of space to safely roll. They take health, safety, and hygiene seriously. But to me the best part are all the time slots to work on developing your game with the freedom to explore independently and without warm-ups! The calendar also has plenty of organized class time so they have something for everyone... highly recommended!”

“Awesome gym. The people are super friendly and the instructors are amazing! I feel like I always leave having learned a lot”

“Stopped in for a class while on a work trip and I’m glad I did. The class was long and tough but I got some great rolls in and everyone who was there was super cool! Great spot to train if you find yourself in Tampa!”

“I go here with my two kiddos and we absolutely love it ! What is perfect about this place is they really take their time with you and work with all levels. Motivate you without pushing you too hard. A welcoming environment not only for men but for us ladies and children. I recommend to anyone looking to get in shape, learn self defense or really looking for just an experience..This is Tampas best kept secret when it comes to a great martial arts center.”
