First Order of Jiu-Jitsu, Miami FL

The BEST! We are so lucky to have found this dojo. Coach Tarzan is an exceptional human being and incredibly passionate about teaching, not only Jiu jitsu but also developing the kids social and emotional skills.

My oldest child originally started in the “Just us two” program. What an amazing program! There’s nothing like it! It is a very welcoming and patient environment, plus having Krystine, a behavioral specialist, is a great advantage in class. With dedication and skill, my oldest advanced to the Kid’s class.
My middle child is currently in the Little's class, and loves it!

Overall, a wonderful, family-like environment!
Dojo is clean! And the skill set and values the kids are acquiring are priceless!

I would like to add that I drive all the way from Hialeah to come here.
Definitely worth it! Highly recommend!

Excellent School! Lots of attention to detail, great family environment. Everyone is humble and friendly. The instructor is very attentive and is constantly teaching you and correcting any mistakes in a positive encouraging way.

My son started training in August and was encouraged to sign up for a tournament in November. With just 3 months, he was confident enough to show up, compete, and win. I couldn’t be more thankful for the impact Coach Fernandez has had on my son in as little as 3 months. Excited to continue this journey! Thank you First Order of Jiu-Jitsu! 10/10 recommended:)

If you’re looking for a great place for your kids to learn Jiu Jitsu, I highly recommend First Order of Jiu-Jitsu. In this place your children are not only learning jiu-Jitsu, but they are also taught to respect and love each other.
Since my son was 2 years old, we’ve taken him to many different places for martial arts and he has hated all of them. It wasn’t until he started here that he really loved it. When you come here it doesn’t feel like just a business, it feels like a family. Coach Tarzan has a very unique approach for each student he teaches, he finds the best way to target their specific needs.
One thing I appreciate about coach Tarzan and his wife is that on Saturday’s they have a class for special needs kids of the community which I have not seen in any other martial arts school.
I wish I could give 10 stars instead of just 5.

This man was born to educate children, and for martial arts. This place exceeded all my expectations. Great fun classes and focused when it needs to be.

Hands down the best jitsu dojo in kendall, great coaches, great family atmosphere, numerous programs and classes, first order is A1

If you’re looking for a a place to learn jiu jitsu then you have to come meet Coach Tarzan at First Order Jiu Jitsu. I found First Order through the We Defy Foundation and I am so glad I did. 1. Coach makes learning fun and does an amazing job breaking down each move. 2. He treats everyone who walks through the door like family and everyone treats each other as family.

Since joining in Oct 2022 I’ve lost 35lbs and I no longer have to take any medicine to manage my PTSD.

As a youth leader myself (youth sports, Scouts), I love the way coach teaches the kids. All his lessons have an application outside of the gym. It’s not just about the move or the sport he is teaching. It’s about teaching the kids life skills that will help them in school, other sports and daily life (discipline, motivation, ethics and the list goes on). I like it so much that I moved my son from a different jiu jitsu gym to FIRST ORDER JIU JITSU.

What a experience! I went to visit Tarzan and hard a great time training.

Best place to train.

First Order Jujitsu is the place you want to go as an adult with any experience level from lots of it to none at all. The youth classes are just as dynamic with a family feel to all of their classes. The atmosphere is welcoming and encouraging. Coach Tarzan is an amazing instructor, coach, and life mentor. Don’t miss an opportunity to check this place out. You won’t regret it.

He is a very good teacher. He pushes you hard enough to be great! He will help you on what you need help on! And he will never give up on his students!

Recently enrolled my son in classes for littles and am very happy with how they are going. Sensei Tarzan is great with the kids and really takes the time to get to know all of them as Individuals. I recommend this Dojo for sure!
