Did you know that Tiger's World Gym started as Tiger's World of Martial Arts decades ago?  If you didn't, look forward to January 2026 when we revive our roots as an MMA school.  Until the proliferation of MMA when it became accepted as a mainstream sport, Tiger's World was the only MMA school in Polk County, Florida.

​

Aspire to go into kickboxing and/or MMA, look no further than Tiger's World.  We'll teach you how to punch, kick, throw, wrestle, grapple, and takedown!
