From the reviews
I've been training here for a little while now, I truly love how welcomed I have been. The instructors are fantastic and each is quick to take extra time to assist you in understanding the techniques. The mat space is enormous and I look forward to seeing what the future brings.
This place is about you and not how much money they can drain you for like some gyms. Top of the line facility, lots of mat space highly highly skilled coaches. And the best part...you become part of a wonderful family!!!
My son went to Florida Combat Academy and it was a wonderful experience. They focused not just on the physical techniques but the responsibility and morality behind martial arts. They are a community that truly cares about the individual members and offer support to their family.
I started training here last year around may. Came From another gym in my hometown Savannah. From the time I talked to head coach, Dennis Davidson on the phone I knew this was the right gym for me!
New to muay thai? Start at Florida Combat Academy
Florida Combat Academy comes up as a beginner-friendly gym, going by their listing and members’ reviews. If you've never thrown a punch or a kick, that's exactly who a good beginners program is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and coaches scale the conditioning to you. Second, you won't be thrown into sparring — reputable gyms build fundamentals (stance, footwork, and the basic strikes of the "art of eight limbs") for weeks before any contact, and sparring stays optional. Third, all levels really are welcome — ask about a dedicated beginners or fundamentals class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out. Most gyms are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
Your first muay thai class at Florida Combat Academy
Nervous about walking into a muay thai gym for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good coaches expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling the basics on pads and bags — not fighting. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: shorts or athletic wear and a t-shirt; you'll train barefoot on the mats. What to bring: water and hand wraps if you have them — many gyms lend gloves for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gloves, wraps, a mouthguard, and shin guards. Sparring is optional and comes later, once your fundamentals are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the coach. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
