We are a family friendly Martial Arts Academy.
We offer Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu for ages 3 and up, Muay Thai (traditional Thai kickboxing) and wrestling classes for ages 5 and up.
We encourage a relaxed and friendly training environment with the goal of improving your self defense skills, physical conditioning, weight loss, and nutrition. A healthy lifestyle of physical activity including Martial Arts, physical conditioning, outdoor activities, and proper nutrition are what make up the STJJ Lifestyle.
Our primary focus is Jiu-Jitsu because it does what other martial arts claim to do: provide a path for a smaller, weaker person to defeat a larger, stronger opponent through leverage and technique! Jiu-Jitsu and Muay Thai training are not just great for self-defense and fitness for men and women, they are great for children as well. We teach children to use their words to avoid a physical altercation while giving them the skills and confidence to defend themselves if necessary!

Great training. Lane really takes his time and makes sure you fundamentally understand everything. Great sparring partners and a great environment for everyone from beginners to people who have been training for years.

We love South Tampa Jiu-Jitsu & MMA. The entire staff is kind, friendly, and knowledgeable. Our girls started attending classes in February 2022 and they’ve learned so much from their coaches that have not only helped on the mats but in their personal life. They’ve learned how to be more patient, understanding, and have better problem-solving skills.
We highly recommend South Tampa Jiu-Jitsu & MMA to any and everyone looking to challenge themselves while having a great time.

So happy we found this place! We’ve taken our kids (5 and 😎 to a couple of Katate classes in Tampa and this one is BY FAR the best. The instructors are patient and kind to the kids. They are actually teaching them (it’s not just a zoo of kids running a muck and “earning” stripes and stickers). I’ve been so impressed with all of the instructors. The facility is clean and the staff is always friendly. Awesome place!
