Worth the drive

Real training. Reputation since 2005.

Coral Gables has plenty of fitness studios. Boutique boxing concepts. Functional training spaces. KO Zone is something different — Miami's oldest MMA gym, where pro fighters actually prepare for sanctioned bouts. Twenty minutes from Coral Way, this is where the serious training happens.

Most members in the Coral Gables–Coconut Grove–South Miami corridor are at the door in 18 to 25 minutes. Take Coral Way east to I-95 North, exit at NW 54th Street. Easier than the drive to half the dinner reservations in the Grove.

Why people from Coral Gables make the trip: credentialed coaches. We've cornered fighters at PFL, LFA, Bellator. We've trained federal agents, SWAT teams, Olympic-level athletes, and high school kids who went on to win NAGA grappling championships. There's no marketing speak here. Just twenty years of teaching people how to actually fight.

For families: our kids martial arts program teaches real technique with real discipline — the way it's supposed to be taught. Many Coral Gables and Pinecrest families drive in for the quality of instruction their kids won't get at a strip-mall karate studio.
