Great place to train and learn the gentle art. If you live nearby or are just visiting YCJJC is a fantastic place to learn and become part of the Brazilian Jiu Jitsu family.

I have a vacation home in Ybor city. I live and train in Los Angeles for 20 years. Ybor Jiu-jitsu club is a mile from our house. They were very welcoming and great training. I've been 3 times. Can't wait to go back!

Was visiting Tampa for a work meeting and a few us joined a 6am class. Very welcoming atmosphere. Nice mats and good rolls! George is a beast.

Super welcoming gym with the most real feel I've gotten on the road. Finally got to check off Florida on this trip to Tampa and YCJJC is among the best places I've dropped in to train out. Five countries and twenty-five states now. They have plenty of scheduling options and we're responsive to messaging to make sure it was ok to drop in. Sal, Jake, Brent and Rodney among others made me feel welcome during the casual drill session on Friday at 6AM. I was torn between that and the 6AM Thursday open roll but Brent was a tough as nails, super crafty fellow grey haired practitioner who had some cool stuff to share so this class turned out to be perfect. Location has got great airflow and cool art on the walls along with plenty of space to safely roll. They take health, safety, and hygiene seriously. But to me the best part are all the time slots to work on developing your game with the freedom to explore independently and without warm-ups! The calendar also has plenty of organized class time so they have something for everyone... highly recommended!

I go here with my two kiddos and we absolutely love it ! What is perfect about this place is they really take their time with you and work with all levels. Motivate you without pushing you too hard. A welcoming environment not only for men but for us ladies and children. I recommend to anyone looking to get in shape, learn self defense or really looking for just an experience..This is Tampas best kept secret when it comes to a great martial arts center.
