Inside Control Academy

Been training here for about a month now and couldn't be happier with it. Gabe and Anton were very helpful to me when I first started in helping me learn Jiu-Jitsu with my cerebral palsy and the people who train here are all very helpful and it's a great place to be because here at Gracie Saint Pete we all share the love for the art of Jiu-Jitsu.

Gabe and Anton are wonderful and thorough instructors. The atmosphere is very laid back and inviting, especially for newcomers. GSP also has a good mix of gi and no-gi grappling. I would highly recommend to anyone who is interested!

Great school and great instructors. Joined to switch up my exercise routine and learn a new skill. Definitely a team environment where everyone wants to help you improve your skills without pressure. Definitely recommend!

Gabe and Anton bring a perfect mix of experience, humility, humor, and ability as both martial artists and instructors to their studio. As a total beginner pushing 40 I felt totally comfortable with everyone on day 1. A great workout and a great martial arts discipline.

I've been training with Gabe for the past three months and am having a blast learning how to roll and kickbox.Gabe is a great instructor. He has an obvious passion for martial arts and uses his expertise and patience well in helping new students make progress. He also has a way of making learning intuitive, which helps a lot for those of us who are brand new to fighting.In short, Gracie St Pete is the place to be... but don't take my word for it. Make an appointment and come check it out!

I attend Gracie St. Pete strictly for the BJJ training and love it; I have watched some of the striking training they offer as well and it also looks very well done, just not for me personally. The Instructors, Gabe and Anton are awesome, very knowledgeable and wise people who care more about you training and progress than anything else. The Mat's are sanitized every day and the people I have been around all have good Hygiene (That's a big bonus for me). Overall a terrific experience and I would recommend it to anyone no matter how new, experienced, young, or old!

Excellent BJJ and MMA school! There simply isn’t enough room in this review to tell you about these guys. I didn’t know a thing about BJJ 3 years ago when I walked onto a mat and now it’s a staple in my life thanks to them and their incredible teaching and welcoming atmosphere. This is a legitimate BJJ school, with the best credentials, that has the unique ability to bring something to each of its students whether they are a kid, beginner, pro MMA fighter or Abu Dhabi champion.

I cant say enough about these two and the high level combative lineage they both come from. Two of the best instructors in the MMA game. Gabe is an outstanding Brazilian Jiu-jitsu & Muay Thai practitioner/instructor. Anton was literally born with wrestling head gear on. Between these two gentlemen you will not find a more well rounded place to train this side of the bay!

Gracie St. Pete is an excellent place to train at; Gave and Anton are extremely knowledgeable and their approach to teaching Jiu-Jitsu makes it really easy to understand.Some of the things I really like about Gracie St. Pete:1.) World class Instructors2.) A Friendly atmosphere3.) A curriculum that emphasizes take downs (Rare in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu schools today)4.) The mats are always clean

The only gym worth training at in the St Pete area. I live in Tampa and make the drive - totally worth it. Gabe and Anton are both easy going, relaxed coaches who are also beasts on the mat and in the cage. Their accomplishments speak for themselves, and you will be hard pressed to find a better set of instructors. I cannot recommend highly enough.
