Love this gym! Great for any level. The students are all super nice and helpful, and the instructors are extremely knowledgeable and detailed in their instruction. Highly recommend this gym, whether you are just looking to get in shape and learn some self defense, all the way up to those that want to be serious competitors.

Awesome place! Gabe is a great instructor and the guys that practice there are top notch. Out of towners (such as myself) should 100% visit and get a roll in.

Awesome Classes ! Gabe and Anton were awesome! Im really excited to learn BJJ and Muy Thai and can't wait to take more classes and get my first belt. Their patience and understanding of the sport is of the charts. I love how they pay attention to you while they instruct the class because they want you to evolve as a martial artist . Huge thank you to you both for teaching me your ways !

I've been training with Gabe and Anton for the past few months and it has been a blast. I've also been able to cut a ton of weight. In the 3 and half months I've been training I've gone from about 230 to 176. I highly recommend joining this gym it is a decision you will not regret.

I’ve done one class today just for fun because I’m on holidays here in St. Pete. Awesome class, friendly coach and partners, deep knowledge and thanks for letting me train for free. I have also seen a couple of minutes of the Muay Thai training and it looked good as well. Go for it. Thanks.

I came to Gracie St. Pete with not a single second of experience in Jiu Jitsu or Muay Thai. I didn't even know what the guard was, and I thought shrimp came from the sea. GSP welcomed me in like family. The coaches are incredibly experienced, patient, strategic and thoughtful. They make the time to work with each student and break everything down into manageable, intuitive steps. The facility is clean, the community is strong, and the classes are a blast. Joining GSP was one of the best decisions I made this year. I'm still a baby ninja, but I'm proud to be growing at GSP.

Spent my summer with no regrets. Both Anton and Gabe are fantastic instructors when showing examples, as well as tips to make a position or submission easier against bigger opponents. Likewise, the experienced members are also helpful as well, and will welcome you with open arms. Overall had a good time here and would be down to come back for more.
