Professor Diesel, Coach Michelle and the entire coaching staff really care about the kids and bring out the hustle and the best in each of them. Great instructors and mentors. Their experience and dedication is proven and I could not be prouder to have my 5 year old as part of the team. True family environment!

My 12 year old son joined Arise about a month ago, the coach immediately took him in as if he was family and has taught him endless life skills. He has a new found love for Jiujitsu! We are beyond happy with this school and all they offer. Hoping to stay here for many many years. Thank You Arise for the dedication and wisdom you have taught us!

I enrolled my son in Arise about 8 months ago. It has changed our lives. The coaches here are so dedicated to what they do and the positive influence they have on their students. They do everything they can to motivate, instill respect and confidence in their pupils. My son is so happy and looks forward to every single class and I’m happy that he has something so rewarding in his life. If you are looking for a jiujitsu spot to join, look no further.

Professor Diesel and Michelle run a fantastic facility. They are extremely dedicated to their students and are constantly looking to make improvements to not only the facility, but to you as a person. They are BIG on cleanliness which is also very important when choosing a place to train. I did a few trial classes at a couple different gyms before signing up with Arise and in the end, I definitely made the right decision. They give a warm welcome to anyone who wants to stop by and the family-oriented atmosphere is something that immediately stuck with me.

We are very happy to be part of the Arise family, my son has been with them since they started and I have seen him grow into the sport steadily.My favorite part is at the end when Coach Dannyreminds the kids to be grateful and thankful to specially us the parents for everything we do for them 😉

My son joined Arise almost a year ago. They have instilled more confidence and respect in my son. They all are such great mentors. They have a lot of patience and dedication with everyone. My son looks forward to going every time. We couldnt be happier here!

Arise provides some of the best Jiu Jitsu in Miami. The environment and quality of training that the Professor Diesel and Coach Michelle have built and still continue to improve daily is excellent. They make sure to lead by example and not just work hard on the mats but also welcome anyone with open arms and a great positive energy. Their attitudes provide a great place for anyone of any age that is interested in learning Brazilian Jiu Jitsu or looking to learn a new skill. Great Jiu Jitsu, great energy and great people!

I enrolled my daughter Paloma in Arise about 2 months ago and It turned out to be the best decision. ever! Professor and all the coaches are dedicated and very good with our kids. The environment is amazing and it makes you want to be there every day and miss it when you can’t go. My daughter is so into it and every day she look forward to her Jiu Jitsu class.Highly recommended!

After 7 years at a Carlson Gracie location, we decided after much thought to switch them over to Arise. So far we are extremely happy with the outcome due to one on one technical coaching, smaller more intimate classes, and phenomenal coaching by Diesel and Micah.

High level training & great family environment.

Great instruction and camaraderie. Everyone trains hard and has the right attitude. It starts from the top. Prof. Diesel takes the time to clearly explain each technique and coaches everyone along. Coach Michelle also sets the tone with her discipline and dedication. The school also has other strong competitors that raise everyone’s level. Prof. Diesel and Coach Michelle also show genuine concern for each of their athletes. We train hard and enjoy ourselves, here!

Top Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu school in Miami. Arise has everything we looked for in a jiu-jitsu school. Family oriented with a professor that is caring, experienced and passionate about jiu-jitsu. Kids are taught discipline and respect. Amazing school with talented coaches that will help your child grow as a person and as an athlete. We highly recommend ARISE.

I joined Arise and attended a few classes before I decided Jiu Jitsu wasnt my thing. I was surprised to receive a personal message from Diesel (one of the professors) when I stopped attending, asking if everything was okay. If he took time out of his day to check on someone that attended just a couple classes, you have to imagine he has an intense dedication to his students. Even though Jiu Jitsu wasnt for me, I cant imagine having had a better experience than I had at Arise. Also, everyone at this gym seems really nice and eager to help. Close knit group. 5 stars, guys.

Im a student there and I really enjoy it. It has got to be one of the best Jiu jitsu gyms I know and have been too. Its just such a family environment but also such a good place to train. Love it and would recommend to anyone.

Professor Fundora is an excellent instructor and very knowledgeable. He articulates the tactic extremely well so that its clear and makes sure you know it intimately and his attention to the details are excellent. Him and the other coaches are great with children and its an over all good family vibe in the dojo. I highly recommend this spot

Professor Diesel is awesome! He takes his time to explain the technique of the day and the environment is very family like! Really good people and amazing facility! Come and try a class! You won’t regret it!🥋

Amazing place for kids, teens, and adults! Started going here beginning of April and will never leave! Professor Danny is an amazing instructor and very helpful when needed. Pays attention to all individuals and helps everybody as needed. I recommend everybody to sign up here !

One of the best BJJ schools in South Florida. Professor Diesel does an excellent job explaining all techniques and has a great kids program as well!

Love this place❤️ my son trains there and he enjoys it very much husband and wife team!! They make you feel like family!! Diesel and his are super nice!! Recommend it 💯❤️🙏🏻🥰

My grandson has been part of the Arise family since the beginning. It is an amazing environment with a dedicated professor. The location is central, and the facility is clean. My grandson truly enjoys training there.

Arise has become my second home. I began training with Professor Diesel a couple years ago, and when I found out he was opening his own dojo, it was a no brainer to come train with him.The schools rapid growth is a testament to Professor Diesels commitment to his students. Likewise, the Arise students and family make it a fun and welcoming environment to train at.Overall, a lot of fun, a lot of hard work, and lot of love from everyone. Thank you for everything you offer.

Great instruction from an excellent Professor. My kids and I have visited multiple times and attended classes. Inviting atmosphere. Excellent coaching.

Arise is by far one of the best jujitsu schools. Professor Daniel is not only a constant role model for his students, hes professional, loving, compassionate, and smart. He loves what he does and strives everyday to encourage a positive learning environment. Along with Coach Michelle they have brought a new Jujitsu Family to Miami you will want to be a part of. Both parents of young children who value positive discipline, structure, and the opportunity to learn self defense while also having some fun. I highly recommend them to everyone!

Arise is a beautiful and spacious academy that is always clean and inviting. Professor Fundora AKA Diesel, is a world champion athlete that details step by step instructions for new and experienced practitioners alike. Come drop by for a class and I’m sure you’ll be impressed with the environment and Professor Diesel’s ability to teach you and your kids.

Professor Diesel is a amazing coach. I have cross trained at his facility multiple times. He runs a clean facility and has amazing Jiu Jitsu program. I would recommend Arise to anyone of any skill level

Awesome Jiu-Jitsu gym, great atmosphere for any age or level. Professor Danny is extremely detailed in breaking down techniques and concepts. Open Mats on Sunday’s are always packed with good rolls. 🤙🏼

World-class instruction from Professor Daniel “Diesel” Fundora! Professor Diesel has tested his jiujitsu and martial arts skills at all the high-level tournaments proving that he can defend himself and win against trained athletes. He provides a friendly, competitive, and welcoming environment for kids, teens, and adults. Thank you Diesel for creating such a great environment to train Jiujitsu and teaching others how to defend themselves.

Great atmosphere and top notch instruction from a World Champion. Professor Fundora is a wonderful instructor with a talent for communicating.

Family friendly environment and top notch instruction. Thank you Prof. Diesel for being tactful and for helping me improve my Jiu-Jitsu.

Iv been with Arise jiu jitsu for close to 2 months now and it’s been amazing I get better every day I go, everyone is really nice very hard working family oriented and encouraging and so much more. I was in between another gym and I’m soooo glad I went with my heart and came to Arise. Professor Diesel is amazing. He is very detailed and very easy to get along with and communicate which is very important to me because he cares about everyone that is apart of his family. If you are thinking about joining don’t think about it just come to a class you will get hooked. Trust me you will get excited to start a different journey in life which you can learn something new every time you roll and go to class no matter how long you have been going. Thanks Arise I’m excite to grow with you all.

Professor Danny is a IBJJF World Masters Champion, and he translates his achievements as a competitor seamlessly on to the mats to provide exceptional instruction. He is so encouraging, and has shown immense interest in the development of his students on and off the mats. He is training his students to not only be better fighters, but better people. The gym is very clean, and parking is easy to find. I highly recommend Arise Martial Arts for a family oriented environment that provides top quality training.

Danny is dynamic instructor, very patience. He is one the best instructor in Miami I ever met. This jujitsu gym is very family oriented I am bless meeting him. I so grateful being apart a great team. He always keep me motivation to lose weight lived a healthy lifestyle. Please come by check this amazing place.

This great school embodies everything martial arts and jiu jitsu stand for. The head professor is a world class jiu jitsu competitor and knows how to make champions. The vibes and the energy at the dojo is second to none. I highly recommend any veterans that need a place to train and get ready to compete to come and try out this school. Also, the friendly and welcoming nature of the people at the school makes it the perfect place for beginners to get involved. They also have a popular kids program. Overall it’s a great school.

Excellent place to begin your Jiu-Jitsu journey. I’ve trained at arise with profesor Diesel for almost a year now and I can confidently say that the environment, instruction and comradery here is amongst the best. Arise is a excellent place to train for people of all walks whether you are a casual practitioner or you have competitive aspirations. I tell my friends all the time, the only regret I have about Jiu-Jitsu is not starting sooner!

Amazing place. Great people. Love the way the professor teaches.

Professor Daniel is an amazing teacher and mentor to the kids, teens, and adults. It is a very family oriented environment. We have seen a continuous improvement since our son has been attending.

This is a gym where you are most definitely going to get the best technique and training. It has a great family environment and a positive experience seems to be paramount for the people in charge of this place. I recommend this place to anyone looking to stay in shape, compete, and have a good workout.

Professor Danny/ Diesel is a high level competitor and great instructor. He breaks down techniques to allow everyone from beginners to advanced students to understand. Arise is a family friendly environment that’s great for everyone from children to adults to train.

The best family

I have personally knows Professor Danny for almost 10 years. He is what you consider the top elite BJJ practitioner. Not only is he a World Champion but one hell of a competitor who competes actively and wins almost every single match. His teaching skills is amazing with his care and patience towards his members and fellow team mates. One of the most technical guys in the sport by far.

Stopped in for an open mat today. Very friendly and welcoming. Super clean as well. Would definitely recommend.

One of the most professional BJJ teachers I have ever encountered. He goes through the foundations to ensure you can grasp basic self-defense, and his advanced techniques are unmatched. Very humble and always willing to help you out either in fine tuning your skills or learning something new. Thank you Arise!!

Great place to train! The team is amazing and help you push to achieve your goals.

I love this place!!!!!! If there was a such thing as a 100 star rating i would give it a 1000000. Our proffesor is nice and educative. Im a student there and its dope. He will train until there is no tomorrow. This is the way. 😜

Professor Daniel Fundora has an extensive amount of martial arts knowledge, and it shows in how he runs his school. Not only is he an incredible instructor and a true professional, he is also a family man, who makes sure his school has a friendly family environment too. I highly recommend Daniel and Arise Martial Arts.

This place is the best! Not only is it run by a World Champion, he is also an amazing instructor with a real passion for teaching! I am a BJJ Black Belt and spent many years training with Daniel “Diesel” Fundora, and when I opened my own Academy in Colorado, I made sure to have him come to do a seminar at my school, so that my students could benefit from his incredible knowledge and energy. If you are anywhere near here, you will love this place!

This its gonna be one of best places you can train the real art of Jiujitsu Professor Diesel is ea very knowledge and experience, very friendly and most important respectful human being. Would recommend for all skill levels.

I highly recommend this dojo. The instructor is thorough when he teaches and has amazing technique. Definitely a great atmosphere and safe family environment.

Let me start of by saying I started training Jiu-Jitsu 2014 and I have been to many Jiu-Jitsu schools around Florida. Arise Martial Arts takes the sport to a whole new level. Daniel, World Champion Competitor and Head Coach, is extremely good at what he does and teaches top notch material. Whether you are new or have been training the sport for many years, Daniel will work with you and help you achieve your goals. He is very friendly and will always answer any questions that you may have to the best of his ability. It doesn’t hurt to try a free class to find out you found something you love. I signed up this week and I’m loving every minute of it!

Ive been blesed to have known Danny since he began his BJJ Journey. I mention this because the way he started is the way he continues. Tenacious with his discipline, always willing to help, strong competitor as he holds several gold medals including world champion, and relentless. This would be the perfect place for anyone looking to get some insights to competition or self defense as he also has a background in striking. He has a clean facility which is a reflection of the respect he has for the gentle art. Must visit at least once if youre in the area, but beware cause you might get hooked.

Absolutely no better instruction and training environment for jiu jitsu and Professor Danny shows a sincere interest in everyone’s progression and is an exceptional teacher. Wether your starting out or been training for years, Professor Danny will take your jiu jitsu game to the next level. Highly Recommended!

I have been practicing jiu jitsu for 8 years. I am very picky about where I train and especially where I take my young kids to train. Arise is the perfect place for my Kids to learn the self discipline and techniques they need to be well rounded confident individuals. And I as a competitor get the best training in town with high level guys who are all cool with no ego or drama. Arise is my familys sanctuary.

Starting my jiu jitsu journey at Arise Martial Arts has been such a wonderful experience. Professor Danny makes the learning process easy to follow and truly enjoyable. All the students at the school are always willing to help each other out, no matter what skill level theyre at or color belt they are wearing. As a female, its empowering to see my strength and skill progress, and its great to have so many other women training there as well! If jiu jitsu peaks your interest, try a class at Arise!

Diesel runs a great program, he is very meticulous and technical when teaching his techniques. Great environment, very friendly.

I’ve been training bjj for over 10 years and I’m happy to say that I found a place where I can feel I’m constantly improving. The sport has changed and evolved dramatically over the years and these guys make they keep up with it. I love, respect and admire coach D for his dedication and drive to share with others what he’s learned in his bjj journey.

I have known Professor Fundora for a very long time. He is a jiu-jitsu world champion and an incredible, humble human being. This academy is highly recommended.

Professor Danny is a legit high level world champ black belt under Michel “Buiu” Pereira he has a gift in teaching Bjj that will help you understand each technique very clearly he doesn’t just show you how to do it but he explains why you have to do it. I 100% recommend to check his academy out I promise you will not regret it you will only be learning the finest Bjj.

Ive know professor Danny for about 9 years and watching him evolve from blue-black belt. If you’re looking for pure traditional Brazilian jiu-jitsu, this is the place to train. There’s a lot of school out there that you are kind of skeptical about they’re lineage but I guarantee you this is as pure and legit as it get with the Carlson Gracie Lineage under Michel “Buiu” Pereira. Join the school and enjoy learning from a IBJJF world champion, you won’t regret it!

Great place to train . Makes you feel right at home.
