Arena Combat Sports is a mixed martial arts gym located in Little Havana, Miami, not far from Brickell. Established in 2011, Arena Combat Sports came from the need for high level martial arts to be available to the general public. We welcome all levels, from beginners to pro athletes. We offer classes in Muay Thai Kickboxing, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Boxing, Wrestling, Self Defense, and bootcamps.
Is a great introduction to the sweet science. Refine your skills as you're about to get in the ring with seasoned champs. Work on the subtleties of boxing such as foot work, angles, ring generalship and slipping punches while elevating your speed and power! Our Jiu-Jitsu program follows the guidelines and belt system of the International Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Federation.
We're always looking to expand our team here at Arena Combat Sports, If you are looking to work with us as a trainer, feel free to email us. We are also available to outside trainers with their clients for studio space. Contact us for more details! Originally from New York, Carlos Zevallos ranked high in the New York State Golden Gloves.
At Arena Combat Sports, Little Havana, Miami, we train Muay Thai Kickboxing geared for Mixed Martial Arts. It has elements of Dutch style kickboxing, Thai clinching, and Western Boxing. Each day brings on different routines, we might go over countless technical drills, endless rounds of smashing the pads or do plenty of work on the bags.
Jiu-Jitsu was brought to Brazil from Japan via Mestre Mitsuyo Maeda. He was introduced to the very young brothers Helio and Carlos Gracie at the beginning of the 20th Century. Helio was having trouble executing large throws requiring a lot of power. He began to favor techniques suited for the smaller person to take on a much larger adversary.

Honestly the best place in The area for beginners. I researched and tried them all, so let me spare you some time. You will get right into it at this Gym from day 1. Friendly and cheaper than most other options. Instructors are tough and nice. Great work out too

I've been attending this gym for almost a few months now and with both the friendly, uplifting environment and Carlos as well as Eduardo being excellent mentors, I've been able to instill solid confidence both in myself and in my developing technique of Muay Thai. It's an intensive workout that has seen me drop 15+ lbs since I started -- and as a first-time learner, I'm definitely glad I picked this as a go-to. Not only that, but as a resident in Gables, Little Havana is just a short trip away and very easy to get to with parking in the back. Would recommend and HAVE recommended this place to friends

Thanks to Arena Combat Sports I found a new passion for kickboxing muay thai, boxing and jiu jitsu. I started only 4 months ago and fell in love with mixed marital arts. ACS does not only offer a great workout and MMA skills, but it is has a great and friendly environment with instructors who encourage you every step of the way. I would recommend Arena Combat Sports to anyone. Best kickboxing class in Coral Gables!

I joined this gym about 2 years ago after being a member at a 24hr fitness for years. After trying it for a week, I was hooked! I decided I wanted to learn a useful skill while at the same time building muscle and staying lean. This gym has delivered all of the above. The trainers are very knowledgeable, and even though the gym is small, they manage to get everyone involved regardless of how many people there are. We do everything from weights, Kickboxing, plyometrics, MMA and endurance training. The trainers are attentive and are constantly motivating you and working with you to improve your technique

I've been going to this gym for about a year now, and I look forward to going every day! The coaches know what they're talking about and offer useful pointers to help us improve our technique. If you're looking to develop your skills as a fighter and get a great workout, this is the place! Unlike the huge, impersonal gyms, Arena Combat Sports is more like a personable and supportive community. I love it!

Definitely worth checking out! I highly recommend this gym to anyone looking for a challenging and rewarding workout! I joined Arena Combat Sports just about two years ago at the suggestion of one of my closest friends. I was looking for a workout that constantly challenged me as I was tired of the same old cardio-core routine I couldn't seem to escape. The workouts are incredibly challenging both mentally and physically but you leave here feeling accomplished, invigorated, and physically exhausted. Carlos, the owner, does a fantastic job of making sure that each member receives a challenging workout

I really like this gym, since the first class.
I moved recently to Coral Gables, and I was looking for a place to train Karate.
I wanted to learn self defense and get in great shape.
At Arena, everyday's training is different, so you can not get bored doing the same workout everytime, as it sometimes happen in other gym.
We do bags, circuits, drills.. It is a very good way to learn or improve the boxing and kickboxing skills. And the cardio work is great!
At first I was only boxing, but then I joined the kickboxing classes too, and I feel that I am learning a lot. I can see the difference
