Martial Arts Schools in Miami

“I can never explain in words how this place made me felt. So I'm going to take my time to make my statement about this place. This has got to be the best Martial Arts gym I ever went to period. We treat each other like family and good friends. Everybody has a great character and personality and they want to train as hard as you do. And the atmosphere/environment is great. They can be strict, but that's the whole point of true discipline that other martial arts gyms lack, but despite them being like drill sergeants, they still care a lot about everyone in the gym and still have heart. The workouts are great, it really gets your heart moving and it gives you the struggle you need to have a great and challenging workout. My high school, MLMP recommended me this gym and they recommended the Coaches to accept me without tryouts needed and they immediately accepted me. Even though I've missed most days, I'm lucky I haven't got kicked out lol. But even then, I would deeply regret myself not going here, because going here has been a thrilling experience. Keep in mind, the workouts are very hard, you'll want to quit, but the moment you quit, you'll start to regret not coming here. This gym isn't for everyone, this gym is for others who thrive on seeking progress and improvement, and they'll push you to become the best person you can be in physical standards, mentally and through character. If you wanted to join the United States Military, but scared of Hell Week, I would suggest go here instead lol. Plus, this isn't your ordinary martial arts gym, this is a whole facility built to mold you to become a great fighter. After going to a mcdojo once in the past, this is nowhere near a mcdojo, this is an actual genuine place. Out of every Martial Arts gym I went to or ever will go to, I would recommend this martial arts gym out of all of them. This place is built around genuine efficiency when it comes to learning JiuJitsu, Kickboxing, and Wrestling. AIM FOR GREATNESS!“

“AMAZING gym. The way they teach and supervise the kids is awesome. My son begged me to sign him up after the free intro class. HIGHLY Recommended.“

“This is where I got my first degree. I have learned discipline, and lots of it here. I have been learning from him starting from a yellow belt, As I've progressed, it's become a hobby for me to do now.“

“Brian and Maria are excellent coaches --they are patient and break down bjj techniques in a way that allows you to improve quickly in a matter of months. The people that come to classes are lovely as well, so the overall atmosphere is very welcoming. Having teachers that really care to see your improvement coupled with students that are excited to learn makes this a great martial arts school and a nice place to come to every week.“

“This place is amazing. I strongly recommend it to anyone looking for a professional training.“

“This academy is led by someone who has been trained from the very roots of the art, and it shows in the quality of instruction and the culture of the gym.

Kendall is lucky to have an academy with this level of experience and leadership. Highly recommended.“

“Rilion Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Academy is the best place for Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in Miami. The instructors are very skilled, knowledgeable, and supportive, and the staff and community are welcoming, making it a great place to improve your BJJ, grappling, and self-defense skills.“

“My daughter has been taking lessons with Carol since 2023, and it’s been a wonderful experience! Carol is energetic, engaging, and makes every class fun and motivating. She teaches my daughter both karate and self-defense techniques, always with patience and enthusiasm. The dojo itself is a friendly and nurturing environment where kids feel supported, build confidence, and truly enjoy learning. Highly recommend!“

“Eric is by fsr the best striking coach I have ever had. We didn't speak the same language but the kindness he showed me and how he would find a way to connect with me to show me the combo or to tell keep my hands up in sparring was surreal. He cares for each of his students like none other. Forever will call this place home. Also world champions are tranning out of this dojo.“

“This dojo is one of a kind. Family owned and operated. Get ready to learn and grow as an individual, whether you’re a white belt or black belt.“

“Ana and Eydher were very professional, knowledgeable and kind. Center was very clean and relaxing. Would highly recommend and look forward to my next visit!“

“I attended this place for 8 years of my life. In these 8 years, I not only learned how to fight and about the art of Kung Fu, but I learned about discipline, respect, patience, responsibility, and much more. Divine Fist Kung Fu combines physical challenges with mental ones to prepare you for the real world. The staff cares about you as a person and will always want for you to strive to be the best version of yourself at Kung Fu and in your personal life. If you want your child or yourself to have a good influence and physical activity in their life, then Divine Fist is the place for you.“

“Very personable owner, great coaches who take their time to ensure the students learn every detail necessary. Familial atmosphere. Great group of people.“

“Our experience with Wee-Wow in her aikido classes at Doral Central Park have far exceeded my expectations. Her dedication, patience, presence, guidance and the knowledge she shares is truly remarkable. We have explored many classes for my daughter and this Sensei has topped every instructor we’ve encountered in multiple sports. She is a rare blessing in our community. We look forward to the possibility of more Aikido classes becoming available in Doral Central Park.“

“"Exceptional after-school karate program!

My Kids have been attending Karate Do after School Center in Miami and they absolutely love it.

The instructors are skilled, patient, and great with kids.

They focus not only on karate skills but also on discipline, respect, and confidence-building.

The facility is clean and well-maintained.

Highly recommend!"“
