From the reviews
Tampa Bay Krav Maga is the best school I have attended to learn self-defense. Joe, the instructor, is well-trained and explains things clearly. He sets a good example for us by being strong and humble. He has not given himself a phony title to impress us.

I highly recommend Tampa Bay Krav Maga to EVERYONE.The Women's only self defense course is an excellent idea for women of all ages, so much fun and very educational!
I LOVE training here! Joe (the owner) is always willing to help, will make sure that you have everything you need. He finds a unique way of communication with every student. He will teach and talk to you the way you need to in order to grow physically and mentally.

New to kickboxing? Start at Tampa Bay Krav Maga
Tampa Bay Krav Maga comes up as a beginner-friendly gym — noted on their own site. 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 Tampa Bay Krav Maga
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.
