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.
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.
Love training here. Great instructors, great students, and an overall awesome atmosphere. Training space is also gigantic! More mat space than my high school wrestling team.
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 kickboxing? 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 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 Florida Combat 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.
