Being a member at Gracie PAC MMA is the most powerful force in my life right now, not just as a professional fighter, but as a man committed to becoming his best. This gym is built on discipline, growth, and brotherhood. You are surrounded by people who are here to evolve through martial arts, from brand new beginners to high-level professionals. This journey goes far beyond self-defense. It builds real confidence, belief in yourself, elite conditioning, mobility, and mental toughness. Winning Pro Fighter of the Year this past year meant everything to me, not because of the wins or the spotlight, but because of the man I am becoming through this process. I’m deeply grateful for this place and this community. If you’re looking to start or continue your martial arts journey, Gracie PAC is where real transformation happens.

Gracie PAC is an exceptional gym with an even better culture. Billy Q is an active UFC fighter, devoted husband and father, and a true master technician. He’s passionate about coaching and leads with selflessness, loyalty, and humility. There’s no ego here everyone is treated with respect and pushed to improve, no matter their level. This is the gym I recommend to anyone: kids, men, and women alike. Top-tier instruction in a supportive, professional environment.

I’ve just concluded my 2 week trial available to anyone interested in trying out the gym. This gym Gracie PAC MMA is by far the best gym in the city. I’ve been to over 6 different gyms in Tampa Bay and the vibe would feel off with either the instructors or the other students, sometimes both, but upon entering Gracie PAC for the first time it felt instantly different than the rest. I was greeted by friendly staff as well as friendly and welcoming members of the establishment. They offer different levels of BJJ which range from beginner friendly teachings to more advanced techniques. As well as various different levels of MMA. If you have any doubts at all like I did in the beginning, come in and try it and let the charisma, professionalism, and proficiency of Gracie PAC MMA do the talking.

I joined Gracie PAC MMA back in June and have loved it ever since. The overall atmosphere is welcoming and friendly to everyone who walks into this gym. The knowledge from the instructors is vast and greatly effective in a real self defense situation and competition. furthermore, the amount of new people that you will meet will allow for you to experience many different styles and high level specialist that you may have never experienced prior to joining. I can personally say only great things from what I have experience from this gym and how it has benefited my overall physical and mental well being. I would recommend this MMA gym to anyone who is interested within the Tampa Bay Area!

Gracie PAC is the only MMA gym in Tampa Florida with active high level fighting pros: UFC Fighter & Owner, Several Top Ranked Regional Pros, as well as a bunch of talented amateur up and comers. Don’t let that be a concern, this gym supports all experience levels from Beginner Children to Adult First timers, all the way up to World Class Pros. Owner Billy Quarantillo, father of two, and devote husband runs a family first gym culture on all levels. Even if you’re a first timer- you’ll be learning from experienced MMA fighters and grappling specialists in every class. You won’t have to worry if you’re getting qualified coaching because all techniques and instruction are being battle tested month to month by your instructors, on a pro and amateur level. (so you don’t have to) To be the best- you have to learn from the best!
