My son absolutely loves his classes. The owners and instructors are so kind and supportive. Starting off as a beginner, they made sure to explain everything in detail and have been so helpful along the way. I am so happy that my son has not only found a sport that he enjoys but that he also feels completely supported. Thank you KBHQ!

When my son had some downtime between sports, I signed him up for this gym at the recommendation of a friend. I was sort of expecting good things since it was a recommendation, but I was blown away by the graciousness of the owners and the experience my son received. He took the boxing class from Ian and he is such a cool guy and the perfect fit for younger kids getting into it, because it can be intimidating.
My son also picked up a lot of good workout habits, tips and exercises that he will carry through life from the boot camps.
Nikita and Israel really make this place feel like a family gym

I am a former collegiate football player and this place is the closest experience I have gotten to when I played! One of the things I missed most about playing was the team environment and this place gets as close as you can to getting that same feeling. You also get a chance to work on your body and mind in a different way then sports. And, there is friendly competition between the other athletes there! The only warning I have is that you will not want to miss any days because you will feel like you are missing out on something. So if you are looking for a new gym or to learn some martial arts

People usually say that the hardest part about joining a new gym is showing up for your first class. Well after your first class at Killer Bees, joining will be the easiest decision you’ll ever make. Great yet challenging instruction, a team environment, and an incredible space. I move a lot for my job and can only hope I find a gym like Killer Bees everywhere I go.

This is my second time joining Killer Bees and Nikita and Israel welcome you back as if you were never gone. Going to a new gym can feel awkward, but everyone here is so great, the instructors and the people. The classes are high cardio and the best workout you will ever get in your life. Nikita is an amazing and charismatic instructor who you will instantly love taking kickboxing classes with. The only regret you will have with joining Killer Bees is that you didn't do it sooner.

I’ve been here in Brevard since 2015. When I got out of the military I went to BJJ to combat the difficulties of getting out. I tried several gyms, and while each was amazing in their own way, I never stayed more than a few months. I inquired about a trial class and Matt followed up with me immediately. We stayed in regular contact and I was able to be honest with him about some of my reservations with regard to going to a new gym. It’s because of his consistency I ended up showing up. Hands down, Best decision I made. This place is home. Nikita is amazing. Easy to get along with and very personable

You like Boxing? You like Kicking? Wait. You just only like to Grapple? . . .No? Just want to exorcise and lose weight at a boring old gym by yourself. "Yes". BUT WAIT!!! You can do that also here and learn something new everyday as well as while it being a fun good time! With friendly people always willing to help out and an excellent Professor with a polite attitude!
I would definitely recommend trying this place out, and it also welcomes new people!!! No matter what background experience, so try this place out for a nice day off with a one free class trial to see what it is all about.

After already having some experience with a different martial art I joined Killer Bees to learn a new martial art. I was greeted by head instructors Israel and Nikita who were very warm and welcoming towards me. They asked me about what I was looking to accomplish here and how they can help me accomplish my goals. After taking a look around the gym and seeing the other students training I was immediately impressed by the warm energy in the gym and couldn't wait to participate. Israel offered me the chance to take a free class and the rest is history. I have been training there for less than a year

American Killer Bees is BY FAR Melbourne’s hidden gem. It's very affordable, great atmosphere, really friendly people, and you always feel welcomed there. Nikita and Israel are phenomenal instructors and they really care about you. Unlike other gyms that offer "kickboxing" (I use the "" because most gyms it's just someone that doesn't know what they're doing telling people to punch a bag with terrible form) the instructors here are top notch and focus on form over everything. If you think the exercises will be easy, THINK AGAIN! They push you to your limits, but that gives you the best results
