TAMPA COMBAT & PURSUIT of FITNESS (Personal Training and Mobile Fitness)

One of Benny’s most proud achievements is Tampa Combat.  Benny founded Tampa Combat in 2003 and it was one of Tampa Bay’s first true and pioneering MMA gyms offering wrestling, Jiu-Jitsu, kickboxing, and boxing classes.  Since 2003 Tampa Combat has flourished into a respected brand of amateur and professional fighters who compete in grappling tournaments, kickboxing events, and MMA events.  It was also a thriving gym for enthusiasts and non-competitors alike who just enjoy the training element without the pressure of having to fight or compete.

In 2015 Benny took on a re-branding of the gym and added the name PURSUIT of FITNESS (POF) to better appeal to the local fitness enthusiasts and athletes.  With this re-branding, Benny also moved out of the real estate location and is now focused on providing personal training sessions on location at the convenience of his clientele.
