From the reviews

Been coming for a few months and I must say this is the best mma gym I’ve been to. Most gyms charge you an arm and a leg just for a few jiu jitsu classes but here at CSA I pay a fair monthly fee and have unlimited classes, I stick to one striking and one jiu jitsu class a day but if you want you can do more than that.

★★★★★ — Ryan, Dec 2024

I’ve been to a few gyms in Orlando and This gym is by far one of the best gyms to train at. Bjj, judo, wrestling, striking and kids classes have all great high level instructors. The staff is super helpful and friendly. It feels like a family friendly environment.

★★★★★ — Lakea, Oct 2025

I started training here a few months ago when they opened up the JUDO program. Coach/Sensei Lakea Vargas Has been nothing short about standing. I have done martial arts before in Various types of gyms, but I feel like I found a new home here at CSA.

★★★★★ — Jay, Oct 2025

I visited CSA for jiu jitsu instruction while in Orlando this week and absolutely loved it. Welcoming, friendly instructors and students. Immaculate facility with a great range of equipment for strength training and conditioning. The jiu jitsu instruction is top-tier.

New to kickboxing? Start at Combat Sports Academy

Combat Sports 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 class is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit or coordinated to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and coaches scale every drill to you. Second, you won't be thrown into hard sparring — reputable gyms build the basics (stance, footwork, and punches and kicks on pads and bags) first, and any contact eases in gradually under a coach's control. Third, all fitness 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 kickboxing class at Combat Sports Academy

Nervous about walking into a kickboxing 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 — stance, footwork, and punches and kicks on pads or a heavy bag — not hard sparring. Go at your own pace and rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: comfortable athletic clothes you can move and sweat in, and supportive trainers. What to bring: water, and hand wraps and gloves if you have them — many gyms lend loaner gloves for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gloves and wraps (and shin guards once you start sparring). Sparring is optional and eases in gradually, once your basics 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.

Kickboxing is a contact sport. Warm up, pace yourself, listen to your coaches, and if you have any injuries or health concerns, mention them before class and check with a doctor if you're unsure.
