Best place around …professor nick was great…. the gym was clean…. and staff was Courteous supportive and super informative
Friendly staff, my son loves it here! Very nice instructors.
I left my home gym of two years to come to Inside Control Academy, and I am so impressed with the coaching, facility and the welcoming and attentive atmosphere. I have taken classes led by Coach Q, Billy, Anton and Gabe. All of their classes have been through and informative. I thought I would struggle as I transition from Gi to NoGi, but the quality of teaching has made me love NoGi more than I ever have. I have seen Coach Q teach private lessons to the children that I nanny for, and they are learning so much and enjoying it. The kids classes are equally great as Coach Anton and Charlie and absolutely fantastic with keeping children both entertained and engaged. Impressive School for mixed martial arts, I would recommend to anyone.
Been training here a year and a half. Great place to elevate your no gi game. Great Jiu Jitsu! Love the 6am crew!
Great place to train. Instructors are kind and knowledgeable. Great training atmosphere. They also treat visitors and guests like their own. Highly recommend.
I’ve had the pleasure of training with Gabriel Maldonado for almost a decade. He is one of the most well rounded, gifted martial artists and instructors I’ve ever worked with. He’s a phenomenal kids and adult Coach and anyone interested in training in MMA in the St Pete area would be extremely lucky to have him as a coach!
Great instructors and great group of people who attend the classes. Started in February. Haven’t looked back. Strongly recommend.
Just enrolled my son. This is the real deal. No gimmicks. Good people who love what they do. Everyone is about helping each other but they aren’t afraid to put in real work. Highly recommend.
