REVIEWS
“I have been with Tampa Bay Krav Maga for over 2 years now and this place is an exceptional school. The instruction by coach Joe Battle is second to none. We’ve learned combat defense including fighting, knives, sticks, rifles, choke and ground defense.
This place is a lot of fun, has superior instruction and everyone feels like family here – highly recommended!
