Martial Arts Near Reunion, FL — Adults & Kids Welcome
By Gracie Barra Davenport · August 2026
Reunion sits in a quiet pocket of Osceola County with golf courses, vacation rentals, and a small number of permanent residents who want something more than a hotel gym. For families and adults in Reunion looking for a serious martial arts program, the closest real option is a 12–15 minute drive over to Gracie Barra Davenport — BJJ, Muay Thai, MMA, and kids classes under one roof.
Why Reunion Residents Drive to Davenport
Reunion is a beautiful place to live but a tough place to find serious adult sports. Country clubs and tennis only get you so far. Families with kids, snowbirds staying for months at a time, and locals working remotely make the short drive to Davenport for one reason: a real, accredited Gracie Barra academy with a full schedule and a strong community. We have more than 360 active members from across the area — Reunion, Champions Gate, Davenport, Celebration, Kissimmee.
What's Offered
Three programs under one roof, plus a kids curriculum that pulls from all three:
- Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (Gi and No-Gi): The grappling core of the academy, with classes for total beginners through advanced competitors.
- Muay Thai: Real striking — pads, clinch, conditioning. Beginner to advanced.
- MMA: The blend of grappling, striking, and clinch, led by MMA Head Coach Thiago Belo.
- Kids martial arts (ages 3+): Age-grouped, structured, six days a week.
Snowbirds and Visiting Families
A big chunk of Reunion is part-time residents — visiting from the Northeast, Canada, or the UK for weeks or months. We're set up for it. Short-term memberships, drop-in pricing for visiting black belts and blue belts, and a coaching team that's used to meeting new students every week. If you train BJJ at home and want a mat to roll on while you're in Florida, you have one waiting.
Kids Classes: A Better Use of an After-School Hour
For families with kids living in Reunion year-round, the after-school hour is precious. The choices are usually: another hour of screens, a hotel pool, or something that actually builds the child. Our kids program runs in the late afternoon and early evening with classes grouped by age (Little Champs 3–5, Kids 1, Kids 2, Teens). Discipline, confidence, and physical literacy. The drive over US-27 is shorter than it looks on a map.
Schedule a Tour From Reunion
The fastest way to see if we're a fit is to drive over for a free school tour. We'll walk you through the gym, talk through programs and schedule, let you watch a class. If you or your child wants to actually try the mat that day, we'll set up an Experience class — a paid intro session that's credited back to enrollment when you join. We're at 6250 Grandview Pkwy, Davenport, FL 33837.
