Gama Filho Martial Arts

I started my BJJ journey at 44 years old and I'm so happy I met Professor Henrique and the Gama Filho family. Before joining Gama Filho, I trained at another self-defense Jiu-Jitsu school for 10 months. And to be honest, I feel like my Jiu-Jitsu improved 200% in a matter of months after joining this academy. Professor Henrique comes from a long line of martial arts. His BJJ style is extremely efficient and his teaching style helps students at any level. They offer both Gi and No-Gi classes with classes both in the morning and at night. I have a very busy life with kids, work, etc so I take the 10AM classes during the week. We have a great group of people that supports each other both in BJJ as well as other aspects of life. I also have both of my kids (7-year old girl and 8-year old boy) training in the kids' program. It's amazing to see them improving their skills both on the mat. More importantly though, is that Jiu-Jitsu teaches them self-defense, confidence and respect. Coach Max and Coach Richard are VERY patient with the kids and maintain a fun yet competitive atmosphere for the little ones. The FREE private parking lot also makes it very convenient for everyone - something hard to find in Miami!

This place is awesome! As someone who has never trained before I felt incredibly welcomed into the family on my very first class. I have done both the Muay Thai and Brazilian Jujitsu classes. Both are really great, and an amazing work out! They take the time to clean everything after each class and make sure everyone is safe. If you are looking for a place to grow, learn, and get a good workout in; I highly reccomend Gama Filho.
