I have a friend living in Tampa, FL that wants to start training. He isn't in it to become a fighter but wants to learn some usable skills. Does anyone on here know of some good schools in Tampa?

This is kind of like that gameshow where you had the three curtains. One of those posts contains the Ferrari and the other two are vietnamese potbelly pigs.

Edit: Ok, the fourth one isn't so bad. But don't just keep your existing prizes; go for the jackpot!
