Wicked class, Richard at the front desk and everyone else was super friendly. Did the mma 6pm class and had some nice grappling and gnp. Was only visiting Miami and would definitely drop by again when I come back!

Really great training overall. Coach Erik really helped to expose me to real kickboxing training for the first time. Also, Erik got me into Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. My only warning would have to be with regards to the contract that you sign when you join the gym. Make sure that you understand that if you stop going and change billing info that they are still going to expect full payment from you. I trained for about a month, then changed debit cards and switched gyms. Then in April of this year I received a bill for 1,000$ and a threat of legal action. In part I guess it is my fault for not actively canceling my membership. But I also wish that this aspect of the contract had been more thoroughly explained. Hopefully I can save someone out there this headache. Other than that one critique a real fun gym to train at.

I learned nearly everything I know from Master Marcos and David. They care so much about their students. FFA is a world class martial arts gym ran by world class people. Thank you for everything you did for me on and off the mats.

I came to Miami on vacation and wanted to get some training in. So I figured I’d come check out freestyle fighting academy since I heard good thing and have seen some excellent training videos with their instructors. From the second I came in everyone was extremely welcoming and I couldn’t have ask for a better experience. I got great training in over the time I was their in mma and they even through in some self defence tactics after class that I really enjoyed. I travel a lot for work so I’ve been to my share of different gyms where when they see a new guy pop in they don’t pay much attention to you. But while I was their I was treated like one of their own members and the instructors spent their time making sure I was doing the techniques properly. When ever I’m in Miami I’ll be coming back to this gym to train 100%!

I loved training here. This is one of the best martial arts gyms Ive trained in and certainly one of the best in Miami. The instructors are very personable and are top-notch in their knowledge and instruction. The learning environment was very professional and had a family feel to it. The owners of the gym are always trying to improve the company and are willing to work with you personally as a student. Also, its open 24 hours!

Great place and very helpful

Ive been training here for a few years and its awesome. Ever since I walked into here, its a family atmosphere. You meet new people and everyone is here to support you in your goals. Ive gained confidence from coming here. I completely recommend this gym for anyone and everyone. It doesnt matter your age, size, or health condition.

Freestyle Fighting Academy is a great school for mixed martial arts. The instructors, especially coach Che is great with the kids. Not only does he prepare the small kids on skill and mental toughness but most importantly on how to responsibly deal with bullies. This is school and especially coach Che teaches kids how to be a responsible young boys but at the same time as a last result put a good ass whooping when needed. Thank you for all the patience and hard work you display on all the kids but especially my son Ryan.

FFA IS THE REAL DEAL. Classes are organized and start on time. There is usually someone that matches up perfectly with you. The coaches are knowledgeable. The facility is clean and tidy. I have no complaints.Also, coach Che is the greatest coach that Ive ever had in my life. This guy is awesome. Youll learn a lot from him.

Very knowledgeable, and very nice instructors. They have a lot of patience to work with you and teach you the correct form and steps for any type of technique we are working on. This is awesome school. Instructors Ive been there very long time and have competed in the past. Especially coach Che has helped me out to become more knowledgeable in self-defense

Freestyle Fighting Academy is one of the best if not the best gym in South Florida. All the coaches and staff really put all their time and effort in it she teaching you so that you could improve everyday. You can excel in anything from self defense, mixed martial arts, all the way to the womens fitness boot camp. The womens fitness boot camp is amazing, my fiance completely changed her life around and has felt better and more motivated than ever before. I would definitely recommend the class to all women .

Perfect place to learn self-defense. Intro level classes allow students to learn at their own pace. All instructors are patient, and well trained. After three months of training at Freestyle Fighting Academy, I entered my first grappling competition, and took the gold medal in the beginners 169 LBS division, winning by submission. Definitely recommend!

Javi the instructor is a great teacher and a cool guy. Proper establishment

Was a bit apprehensive at first, but Coach David really has made it a great choice for me. Good trainer he listens well and is very easy to work with. Never made me feel like I was doing it the wrong way. All in all A great place and a great trainer. Highly Recommend

Great gym with top notch coaches. Instructional workouts designed to help with technique while really getting the most out of you. Basically they kick your ass and you learn while doing it!!! Sign up with Coach Che and you wont regret it.

I was a part of their classes for a long time and not only did I learn how to defend myself in any situation, but they also taught very important life lessons. This gym is not one to only care about your money, they genuinely care about their students. All classes (from kids-adults) are thought to the highest standard that they can. This is honestly the best program that anyone can join.

Amazing intro classes that are super beginner friendly and a lot of opportunity to advance in your training. Great atmosphere as everyone is very humble and the location is convenient too; close to the turnpike and the palmetto. The instructors are extremely knowledgeable and pass on the technique very well.Highly recommend.

Great coaches, supportive and friendly staff. The education is awesome. I have lost a lot of weight since I started working out with these guys. It has also boosted my self esteem like Ive never felt before.

FFA is an incredible school. Ive been a member for over three years. Ive specifically benefited from the following three classes: Strength and Conditioning; Sparring; and Kickboxing. These classes, along with Coach Terrys constant advice, has helped me stay in shape. The coaches at the school are always professional and willing to help in any way possible. There are also different seminars outside of the regular curriculum which are insightful and productive to participate in. The fact that it is opened 24 hours is also a great benefit if you want to do bag work. If youre curious, please check the place out.

The best gym in south FL hands down! They have classes for all skill levels. If youre new to martial arts make sure you take Coach Davids beginner class. He breaks everything down great and youll learn everything you need to train with the advanced members in no time.

Absolutely the best gym in Miami. The workers are flexible, motivating and outright awesome. Don’t do yourself a disservice by going to another gym.

Women only boot camp is the best gym! I recommend it to anyone looking for motivation, endurance, and positive life changing habits. The coaches are all great! Especially Lorraine and Jason, They have so much energy and make going to class fun!

Great training environment, from beginners to professional. Theres always trainers around to help you and guide you in the right direction. Overall excellent place to train.P.S.Coach Che not only was my coach but became a great friend who you can always count on.

I cant say enough about this gym! Changed my life! Made me love fitness! All ages, all sizes welcomed with love and support!!! Dont miss out! Start today..youll be glad you did! ☺️

Our son has been training with Coach Che for 4 years now, best decision weve ever made. Coach Che is amazing with the kids, teaches them self-confidence, mutual respect and most importantly self-defense. We cant thank him enough! Highly recommend for kids of all ages.

I had an incredible experience at this gym. The trainers worked very well with everyone and were all very knowledgeable. I had never experienced this type of gym before and I loved it. I would highly recommend it to anyone that is interested!!

Coach David is genuinely the type of coach you hope to find. He cares about his students and creates a comfortable environment where you can be yourself and improve on your technique. I have no regrets in joining his class or this gym!

Best gym in South Florida! If you want to learn mma, get in shape, or just become an overall stronger version of your self, this is the place to be. Coaches and staff are amazing, everyone in the gym is there to help. You wont find another gym that really makes you feel like family. Give them a call, you wont regret it!!

Very informative. Very flexible as far as class availability and an excellent environment to sharpen or elevate your martial art techniques. Coach David is a phenomenal coach and he guides in the right direction, hes not overbearing and he allows you to make your own mistakes. Its all apart of the process

Been with them for about 11 years and it has been a incredible journey. The amount of talent in the gym is second to none. The staff has always been really pleasant and the coaches really know all of the teqniques in any martial art you can think of. Would really recommend this gym to anyone no matter your age or goals.

Staff is friendly and courteous, Instructor Tulio was very knowledgeable and made me feel welcomed. I will be signing up in the near future. Ask to be evaluated to see what level you should start, they have classes for beginners so no sweat if you have no experience. What I do suggest is to make sure your in some type of shape because the drills they have you do are similar to cross fit. If your looking to improve your self-defense skills I would highly recommend this school.

I love this gym!! One of the best gyms Ive ever been to.. Coach David was awesome he really takes his time to make sure you learn and exceed in the class. Definitely would recommend this gym to my friends!

FFA is one of the few mixed martial arts gyms open 24 hours, and the coaches are top notch. I was there for almost three years going at 6 AM and high level guys are just as helpful as the coaches. Everyone has the attitude of helping each other get better, it was definitely a great experience.

The staff are very welcoming, friendly and professional. The instructor coach Che treats all students with respect and integrity. My son has been part of mix Martial Arts for over a year now. He loves it and has a great time.A great place that offers opportunities to continue growth in FFA.

Ive gone to many gyms over the past few years and this gym has to be the best one yet. The people here are amazing and very friendly and helpful. Coach Dave is very helpful if youre new to this and the skills you learn from him are astronomical!!

Ffa lifestyle has helped change my life in a positive way. Ive lost some body fat, improved my conditioning, my coordination is at its best( considering Im in my mid 40s) thus boosting my self esteem and confidence. Thanks to my teem mates and incredible coach 💪🏻

Amazing place, come here if you want to not only get in shape but feel the best you’ve ever felt. Also love the competitive options you have if you wish to do so.

Open 24 hours !!! Great place to get in shape and learn mixed martial arts, regardless of your level. Very friendly and knowledgeable staff. Coach David is a great example, he makes the lessons very practical and constantly motivates every student to excel.

Coach David is one of the best coaches. I have been to plenty of gyms and had several personal trainers but nothing like Coach David. Challenges me mentally, physically, and emotionally which has lead me in becoming a better athlete.

This is the best Martial Arts gym in Florida. I have been with them a couple of years now and I would never change them for any other gym. Great staff with tons of knowledge and they really care about you and what you learn. Also it is 24hrs!!! In every practice there is always a great pro fighter such as the dreamkiller giving great tips.

My 10 year old loves this school. They have of plenty activities in the schools and out of school to. Very family oriented and have plenty of classes for all ages. So happy to be part of the FFA family

Im on my 30 day trial and so far I love it. Great intense workouts, the instructor has very great knowledge, and membership buddies are somewhat pretty knowledgeable too. So they are always trying to make you become a better fighter. So i would recommend this place a 100%.

I trained here for a little over a year and I loved every second of it!! The atmosphere in this gym is truly one of a kind no matter what level of experience you have they make sure that theres always something new to learn. I truly enjoy this place and recommend it to anyone looking to train MMA whether it be for competition or just self defense.

I was a member there for 3 years and absolutely loved it. I was in the best shape of my life and felt the best during my time there. It is a family environment and everyone there pushes you to your max.

FFA is very well run and the instruction is excellent, one of the most established schools in South Florida.They also have a great gun club, if youre interested in shooting they teach Concealed weapons and have access to a great outdoor range in Miami.If you have kids ask for Che, does a great job with them, he really holds them accountable for showing up and training

I found the Freestyle Fighting Academy when I was 18, I was going to FIU and I walked across the street and decided to try the gym out. After the 30 days free I got my money together and long story short its been 6 years and I love this place. Has helped me make me the person I am today. I guarantee this is like no other gym. Really friendly and fun place to be!

Definitely one of the best places to train, work out, and hone your skills. The workers and instructors are very friendly and will help you if you are in any need of it. I definitely recommend the Freestyle Fighting Academy to everyone!

Greatest place to learn martial arts. I start by myself and now the whole family comes and they love it. The coaches are Awsome!! Great prices.

Definitely the best place to train. Everyone there is like family. Great instructors & great fighters! If you want to get the best training you have to learn from the best. You can only find that at FFA!

Im always excited to go to class and learn something new. Coach David helps me understand how to do things correctly so that I can keep improving. The schedule is also very flexible!

Amazing academy to train at, amazing instructors. Worth all the dedication, sweat, and time. Will leave you with outstanding results! Hands down best work outs, and exercises that will put you to the test. This academy will keep you wanting to better yourself more and more each day.

They are very thorough in explaining. Very cautious to make sure you get injured but still push your boundaries to make sure you improve. Definitely an amazing experience in this gym and everyone is very friendly and nice. Like a huge family.

Top Notch Instruction from a World Class Staff. Its great how they give 100 percent whether you want to just get in shape or want to be the next UFC Champ. I highly recommend this academy for anyone interested improving their overall quality of life, kid or adult.

Great staff really give off a family vibe, ever since i first spoke to tulio on the phone i knew. These guys really want to see you grow and learn their not just looking for another check. The other members are eager to teach you and learn from your strengths.

For the record, my names Dion. However, I digress; I visited FFA approximately 4 years ago for a 5 day seminar. I was thoroughly impressed with not only how forth-coming and friendly everyone was, but also by how professional they were. They were extremely helpful and patient with any questions I had, and they were always smiling.Their level of skill and experience on the mats was also world class. All I can remember was having to stop over, and over again to ask each person how they did, what they did to me. This was after I had already been training everyday for a year and a half! I would definitely recommend this school to anyone in the area!Dion Wu

Angel i believe you, the same issue happen to me. My worst mistake was not read the contract. I even spoke to my lawyer about this matter, and he suggested that if there is a contract sign, to be very kind, and pay the different. Now that FFA is a good school, i believe it is. and there is great people willing to teach. However the way they approach people to sign them up. they will not explain what is written on the contract. they will only explain the basic, what is needed to know. and the benefits that brings. The rest you need to set in front of them and start reading the contract, and start asking question. if not. you will have an issue if you decide not to go any longer. However they do give you a free 30 day trail. they will be behind you everyday. asking if you are ready to sign up. The point is be 100% sure that you want to get yourself into a contract for more then a year.

Ridiculous contracts of 2 years! When I asked Tulio about extenuating circumstances being considered, he just replied well, we have to run a business. Zero consideration for others. That is NOT how you run a business.

FFAS kickboxing classes are amazing. The coaches are the best of the best. They take their time explaining and help you improve your technique. Every workout is different and super fun.

Its incredible!! Sargent Lorraine has changed my life. ...I can honestly say that joining Women Only Fitness Bootcamp is the best decision I have ever made about my health & overall well being. Lets DO this!!!!

Ive been training at FFA for over fourteen years! That in itself is a testament as to how much I love this gym. The instruction is world class and the environment is friendly and comfortable. This is the best martial arts gym in South Florida and it has my highest recommendation.

This place is by far the best experience ever. Ive been a member for over 3 years. They have showed me how its possible to do things I always thought it was impossible. Like jogging a few half marathons already! I learned how to eat clean and my family is really happy with the outcome! Best coaches in town!!

Outstanding!!! Would recommend to anyone without hesitation. Starting MMA was a bit intimidating being a woman. I started the intro MMA classes with Coach David - awesome instructor - made sure I got everything down every time. Now, Im taking more advanced classes with superb instructors. EVERY COACH has been top notch. They all make sure youve got it, which is important to me. Coach Jason, Che, and Edgard have been outstanding. Nothing but the best at this school. Aside from being taught by great instructors, I love how many class options they have too. Fits into my familys schedule perfectly. I have enrolled my sons, daughter and husband. That is a testament within itself. Diana Collins

One of the best decisions I made was joining! Intense workouts, amazing results, wonderful staff. Highly recommend anyone to join! ♡Ive been a member for almost 5 years, and I dont think Ill ever leave!

Best gym in Florida, by far, Ive been training at FFA since I was a teenager and never once thought about switching gyms. The instructors are always professional, have a great understanding of the martial arts they teach and they always help the students out with any questions they have on techniques or anything else. The customer service is great too, they always make sure every one that comes in is taken care of and has someone to help them with whatever they need. All around this gym is great and I always have and will recommend it to anyone that wants to learn martial arts for any reason or just wants to get in shape.

Best gym in Fl. Instructors are friendly and very helpful. Great hours. If you are a fighter perfect place to be. S/O to Edgard and Jason made me fill at home while I was in Florida!Francisco Isata

I have been going here for 3 years. It is really fun and challenging. I learn a lot of techniques. The coaches are really nice and knowledgeable.

Absolutely love this place, very convenient that they have late classes so I can make it after work, Coach David really makes the difference, he takes the edge of with his wacky humor and is very patient and through. highly recommendI wish they where in Doral so I could go more often :)

Best school by far... Coaches are detail oriented, knowledgable and they make the classes fun! You will leave knowing at least one new technique every class. I give them not one but 2 thumbs up!

The classes and instructors are truly one of the best. They encourage and inspire you to try your hardest abd push yourself to your limits. You will definitely see changes in your body as long as you listen to your instructor.

This place is great! It has all of the components of a well-rounded MMA gym. The staff is extremely knowledgeable and very welcoming. Dave is an excellent instructor. His classes are fun and his motivation to produce strong fighters is evident in his teaching style. If you want to learn how to fight or continue training to become a better fighter, join FFA.

Been with this gym for a year now, I recommend it to everyone who wants to train. I started in the intro program with Coach David and really learned a lot. He is an excellent instructor. I have now moved on to regular classes and have been impressed with every coach there. Coach Che, Edgard, Rey, Edir... All these guys are top notch coaches and motivators. There are so many different options/classes. All around great school.

Top flight gym, top flight instructors. Very professional and fun environment. Guaranteed results and proven track record. Love this gym!

Ive experienced many academies and gyms across the city. FFA is hands down the most experienced and professional establishment Ive been to. Youre not treated as just a number, all trainers care about your well-being and help you not only set your goals but find a winning combination to attain them.

FFA is a great place to learn mixed martial arts. They have classes for kids, teens and Adults. Coach Che is excellent with the kids and teens, teaching them self defense, respect and discipline. No egos at this gym, just kind, friendly people that want to improve their skill set. They are open 24/7, they have a gym with weights, showers and locker room. They have the monthly curriculum online to help reinforce the learning of your techniques. The instructors are fantastic. Not only are they skilled in their craft, they have the ability to teach and breakdown techniques in a manner that makes it easy to learn. I love FFA.

The customer service and knowledge is A++. Even when you call on the phone they are so nice. They take their time to get to know their clients and build their family. Excellent place and wonderful individuals!!!!

FFA is GREAT! All the instructors are extremely talented and knowledgable. They really make you part of the family and make the experience personal. The quality of the training is superb! Been too busy to go for a while unfortunately and I still get contacted by my Instructors to check up on me! Wouldnt choose any other facility to train at!!

After visiting about 6 karate schools in the area I chose FFA because of the kids MMA program which in my opinion teaches more real-world self defense.My daughters coach is coach Che, and hes awesome! Hes great at breaking things down and has awesome patience with the kids!! Hes also very motivating!I definitely recommend this place especially if your child is a beginner. What they learn first is what theyll always remember :)

Absolutely love this academy! The facility is amazing and the coaching & instruction are top notch, you will not find a better MMA gym in Miami period!The best part about this school is that it can accommodate anyone from someone that has never trained in the martial arts who just wants to get in shape to the mma fighter that wants to get to the highest level and everyone in between!!!If you are looking for a place to train mixed martial arts.... dont bother to look any further SERIOUSLY! Get in, check them out & get started right away!

A+++ Great place to learn mix martial arts, get fit and have some fun. Instructors are the best. Highly recommended.

This place is amazing! Wether you want to go pro or just train in mixed martial arts as a hobby at FFA they will teach you no matter what experience or age you have. Its also a great place if you just want to get in shape. My conditioning and strength have vastly improved since I joined. I would recommend this gym to anyone looking to get in shape and specially for self defense .

Great gym and coaches really care and want you to get better. This gym helped me become more disciplined as teen and more confident as a person. Coach Che rocks!

Couldnt ask for a better place to train. Best Fighting Academy by far, awesome staff and great fighters to train with. Shout out to coach Che one of the best coaches to learn from.

I had the luck of finding FFA accidentally one day as I passed by Publix to do my biweekly groceries. I was intrigued with what this gym had to offer. When I first walk through their doors, I was welcomed and made felt at ease. My experience was at zero and never once was I judge because of it. The Coaches, such as Coach Dave, are there to teach each individual based on their needs. You will see fast results and rapidly fall in love with this institute. I would recommend this gym to anyone.

I absolutely love this place. I have both of my boys in the MMA program and they love it. They have learned so much and are more confident because of it. The staff is great there and their coach (Che) is amazing. Would recommend to any age as well as my husband is also part of the adult program.

I love this gym!! Ive been going here for 3 years, and my daughter has been doing the childrens MMA classes since she was in pampers! They have awesome instructors! lots of classes to fit your schedule!

Freestyle Fighting Academy is the best decision weve ever made. It was my brother in law who insisted to put my son in MMA. Since hes been there, my son has learned so much. From self defense, to respect and discipline. Coach Che is wonderful with the kids. He teaches them but also makes it fun. That to me means a lot because I want my son to learn, but also enjoy the sport. My son Johnathan, loves coach Che and for that we are great full.

My six year old nephew has been training with coach Che at Freestyle Fighting Academy for almost two years now, and the results are truly remarkable. The school teaches a well-rounded mma program incorporating a variety of stand up and ground techniques, while maintaining a high level of safety. Coach Che emphasizes respect and discipline during class, while keeping the class fun. I highly recommend this mma school to anyone looking for a safe and effective program for their kids.

Been to many Mma gym for the pass 5 years, got referred to freestyle fighting academy been training there for 7 months and let me tell you it was the best decision Ive ever made to try it out because within those 7 months I had learn way more then the 5 years Ive been going to diff gyms around Miami, they truly dedicate them self to teach you, help you with your goals, and never give up on you, I recommend this gym to anybody thats trying to better himself any type away.

Great gym! Its family oriented and very clean. The instructors and classes are awesome, its something very cool to be a part of!

Great gym to do kickboxing and to get in shape. Ive been working out here over 2 years, I can honestly say it has changed my life. I was 40lbs over weight when I came in and now Im living a healthy lifestyle and Im back to my normal weight.

All the instructors are the BEST. They definitely know what theyre doing. I recommend this place to anyone who wants to challenge themselves & be healthy. Womens Only Fitness Boot Camp/Kickboxing Rocks!!

Coach David is the Best! He takes his time with beginners and is a great coach, lots of patience, knowledge, and expertise. I highly recommend Coach David!

I recommend this school to any parent. The attention and hands on they have with their students is extraordinary. 👍👊

FFA has been the most influential place is Ive ever attended. I started out as. A student and 7 years later I now am the the instructor and owner of my own gym in Weston. It was through the culture of excellence that I was able to go from never doing a day of martial arts prior to 2007 to owning my own gym. I would recommend FFA to everyone. I am proof that martial arts can transform your life.

Went to FFA for 4 years to become proficient at defending myself and others, and Id say with that goal in mind I definitely got my moneys worth and then some. As well as gaining a more wholesome understanding of martial arts in general I gained muscle and real life fighting experience from sparring with all the great talent they have there. All in all, I found FFA to be a remarkable martial arts school and I recommend it to anyone with interest in fitness/self defence/competition.

This is probably the best academy to go to. The instructors are really good, they know what they are doing and are good role models to learn from. Here you can learn a lot and grow mentally and physically as a MMA fighter.

Ive been to many gyms up and down the East Coast, and I have to say this is the place Ive ever trained at. I was flown in to help David Avellan get ready for a fight that was cancelled, but the experience was priceless. I met a lot of great knowledgeable people/fighters at the place. Marcos has a way of pushing peoples buttons in a good way to get the most output of them. It is the only 24 hour MMA gym I know of. The staff treated me like their own. I really cant say enough about the place. David and Marcos, you guys are awesome!

Love this academy and the whole team! Edgar with an E 😂😉 is my trainer (for the womens boot camp) he is so awesome and motivating!

Fantastic gym! Coach David is the best and made the most of my free trial. Highly recommended!

The Freestyle Fighting Academy is the best MMA gym in South Florida. Its open 24 hours everyday, I didnt think that was even possible. You can literally train anytime. I train super late sometimes around 3 or 4 Am. Both Masters are incredible, they are really experienced. I recommend the Tuesday and Thursday MMA class at 8:00 pm. The Coaches are great, they are also really experienced and they know their stuff. Since I got here coming from Africa 3 years ago, I have been training there and I can assure you that was the best decision I have made so far in my life. As super heavyweight guy, I have lost a lot of weight, I got faster, and Im about to become a fighter.
