Your Davis Islands Jiu Jitsu Academy
Davis Islands is one of Tampa's most beloved established communities, and it's a straightforward drive south down Dale Mabry Highway to reach our South Tampa mat — roughly fifteen minutes with no downtown traffic. If you're near the Davis Islands Village Shops, Peter O. Knight Airport, or Tampa General Hospital, Tampa BJJ gives you a premier place to train close to home.
Davis Islands families value quality, and they can tell the difference between a watered-down martial arts franchise and a real Brazilian Jiu Jitsu academy. That's exactly what we offer: authentic instruction, an all-levels team, and programs for every member of the family from age four up.
