TAMPA COMBAT is a team of athletes dedicated to mixed martial arts, endurance sports and fitness training. Tampa Combat Athletes are now training exclusively with one another at various locations throughout Tampa Bay. Some of our favorite areas to train are Clearwater Beach, Philippee Park, Punch Boxing Gym and on the Pinellas Trail.
