About Kokopelli’s Gym

We've Stood The Test Of Time

Established in 1999, we are one of the longest running, best established destinations in Central Florida for learning technical fighting skills, setting up a training camp to prepare for an upcoming fight, and/or getting into the best shape of your life while learning a new set of skills.

At Kokopelli's Gym we train both amateur and professional athletes as well as those just looking for self-defense and/or functional fitness training. We offer bio-mechanically correct training that has been scientifically tested and competition proven. We take pride in ensuring that ALL of our students develop solid fundamentals in the discipline(s) of their choice. We do this through one on one private instruction and/or group training. We limit the size of group training to ensure each student gets personal attention giving them the opportunity to learn the techniques properly and get optimal results.

Though our training is geared toward adults, instruction is available for youths at least 10 years old.
