Gama Filho Martial Arts, Miami FL

Outstanding place to train BJJ! I couldn’t ask for better coaches! They are amazing and really make sure you’re safe and learning every step of the way! The members here are also very helpful and encouraging! I’m so happy I found this place!

Started training here a month ago and could not be any happier. Professor Henrique, Max and Richard are extremely welcoming to all students who come to train. Feels like a family and has helped me deal with a lot of my own personal struggles. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a BJJ gym to train.

Gama Filho Martial Arts is simply exceptional! The dojo fosters a welcoming and inclusive atmosphere where everyone encourages each other to become the best versions of themselves. It's more than just a place to train; it's a second home filled with friends who share your passion for martial arts. Professor Henriques expertise, dedication to tradition, and commitment to personal growth creates an unmatched environment for martial arts training. Whether you're a novice or a seasoned practitioner, this dojo is a place where excellence flourishes.

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!

I’ve been here for just over a month and can’t say anything but great stuff about this academy!

Professor Henrique is among the best in jiu jitsu and has a way of teaching where you not only learn the techniques but retain what you learn in addition to having an atmosphere where you can become a regular and the rest of the students become your second family. If you’re looking to start to BJJ or a seasoned veteran looking to expand your knowledge, Gama Filho is the place to be at. Your only regret will be not having found this place sooner

This is a great gym with a great atmosphere. I’m very happy taking my son here throughout the week.

My son also loves it. He identifies Gama Filhao as his “happy place”.
