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.

Highly recommend. Beautiful location and central to everything. Teachers are easy going and go out of their way to teach you from basic to more complex positions. The atmosphere of students range from beginners to advanced but this isn’t just a school for all of us it’s a home and a family. They welcome new students and everyone is willing to help, grow, and learn.

Too many compliments to fit into one review. Jiu jitsu as a sport aside, the people running this gym are special. Great attitude from everyone including the students which foster a good learning environment and no egos.

Great place to learn BJJ not only as a martial art, but also as a lifestyle. Thanks Master Henrique for the support, friendship and dedication. Best Master ever.

Excellent people. Top notch facility. Amazing experience for all ages!

This is the best place to learn self-defense and bjj everybody is so cool, The professor service just do a wonderful job, I recommend this is cool to everyone

Super helpful instructors and lots of one in one attention that is impossible to find in other gyms. Henrique is legend in the jiu jitsu world and is eager to see everybody in the gym improve including the beginners. My first day in the gym I was greeted with lots of love from the whole class and cannot wait to train there every day.

Professor Henrique is BJJ Royalty but he is the most down to earth person who genuinely cares about his students development on the mats AND off. Can’t say enough good things about this gym and the other students here - have been searching a long time and found a home here at Gama Filho!

The best BJJ gym in miami, made so many friends and learning a lot to this day, especially having the best Sensei in the world you can’t ask anything better also we have a warrior and that’s Carlos, he’s a blind black belt and it an amazing professor also, this gym is my medicine.

Amazing group of people! Instructors Henrique and Max are always so understanding and helpful. Group sizes are manageable and you never walk out feeling like you’ve learned nothing. Everyone helps each other, there’s a real community spirit in and out of the academy.I’ve sat to watch their Muy Thai classes, might even try it one of these days before BJJ! There’s a solid class schedule with different times.

Professor Henrique is an amazing instructor and its been amazing to be a part of his academy. The BJJ is top-notch and Professor Henrique has cultivated an amazing culture, everyone is knowledgable and friendly. Its a great gym with great people

Professor Henrique is a great person and coach. His jiu-jitsu knowledge is outstanding and the environment that he creates is incomparable. No doubt GFMA is the best place for training jiu-jitsu in Miami!!

Thats the place you want to take your kids to learn the art of BJJ.Great for kids, teenaters and adults, self defense, anti-bullying....walk with pride and your head up because you know the best art of self defense there is....Very professional and safe environment for families, learn brazilian Jiu Jitsu and other martial arts the correct way!

Excellent coach, from a family of fighters with a lot of tradition in the world of jiu-jitsu.

The best place ever. Family and friends that will last forever.

The best BJJ Academy in Miami! Henrique is an amazing coach!

Ive been training little over a year, through good and bad times this gym thrives under pressure, A very friendly environment, also has a very dedicated competitive group. This is my second family. Im glad I found this gym and will continue to grow under professor Henrique.

I love Gama Filho! I started my martial arts journey with Professor Henrique and I can honestly say that I have grown as not just a martial artist but also as a person. Professor Henrique is well respected internationally for his skill and for his teachings and he genuinely cares about his students. Professor Greg is also very knowledgeable of boxing/ Muay Thai and would recommend for anyone of any skill level to come to Gama Filho!

Henrique is a amazing teacher, very kind and respectful!

Hands down the best BJJ gym. Incredible people who are dedicated to the sport but also to YOU. Great support network and all-around great team to learn martial arts with. No matter how much, or how little experience you have, Henrique and his team will make sure you are learning and enjoying yourself. Ossss

Amazing gym! The Jiu-Jitsu class with professor Henrique is very hands on and super high-level. The Muay Thai class is a great workout and a lot of fun as well!

I can’t recommend this place enough. Master Henrique and his team have created a healthy and supporting fellowship. You will immediately be welcomed with open arms and brought along at the pace that is best for you. Training with the group really will be the best part of your day. Henrique and the group will support you through all the ups and downs of your BJJ journey. You will also be given the gift of helping along newcomers when they need support.This is all aside from master Henrique’s world class qualifications. He comes from a very well respected family and BJJ lineage. He also carries an excellent resume in competition. If you want to train hard and compete at the highest level, master Henrique can get you there.Come to train at GF with an open mind and you will not be disappointed.

Better place in Miami to learn martial arts

Best BJJ gym ever! Amazing knowledgeable instructors who are friendly and fun, yet professional. Great welcoming family atmosphere. No egos or bullies; everyone is helpful and encouraging. My time here has honestly changed my life, and Id never want to train anywhere else. If youre on the fence, trust me and give it a shot! I cant imagine not loving it.

This place makes me feel like I’m right at home. The technique and level of classes is great, they have something for everyone no matter your level in jiujitsu. Check out their Mauy Thai for the best conditioning classes!

A wonderful facility with genuinely amazing members. Honored and lucky to call this place my 2nd home. No other place I’d rather be learning world class Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Thank you Professor Henrique Gama Filho for sharing and continuing your fathers legacy. Oss!

As cliche as it may sound, Gama Filho Martial Arts has become my second family. The professors (Henrique and Duda) are second to none. They make time to make sure you understand the techniques taught that day and answer all questions. In addition to the exceptional lessons they plan for us, they friendships you make is an added bonus. Everyone is friendly and are willing to help you. I cant say enough of the friends Ive made in the gym. Through Gama Filho Martial Arts, not only have I learned BJJ, but Ive become more disciplined with my everyday life. I am forever grateful to Henrique, Duda, Ozzie, Christy (who takes care of the needs of the gym and puts up with our shenanigans), and everyone who I train with at the gym!

Best place to be

Best BJJ gym ever. Knowledgeable yet passionate instructors. Great location and training buddies make you feel like part of a family.

I would give more stars if I could. This place is simply awesome, a true therapy for the mind, soul and body. Henrique is second to none in jiu-jitsu, his teaching skills and personal behavior provide us with a unique experience. He and his crew treat everyone with maximum respect, providing us an utmost experience every day. They take care of every single detail, providing us with an extremely comfort and clean facility. Each persons limits and skills are individually taken into consideration during classes, it doesnt matter if you are 15 y/o (my son), 25 y/o, 35 y/o, 45 y/o (as I am) or more. Words are not enough to describe how I feel about this place.

My 4 year old daughter has been a BJJ student with Henrique and his team for 2 years. She is advancing fast and loves to go to class. I do my cardio boxing while she is in class and it is so convenient.I love them all as family and you grow to fee comfortable and at home in their Gym. This is by far the best BJJ gym in Miami and so so conveniently located with great parking.

This school has had an amazing impact on not only me, but my children and even my wife who has started the cardio kick boxing with Gabriel as she isnt into BJJ. My 4 year old daughter begs to come here. Shes met one of her closest friends coming to class here. The kids class is wonderful, with three patient and knowledgeable instructors, so the kids stay busy and engaged for a full 45 minutes, while many of the parents do the cardio class and get their workout in. The BJJ class for adults is fantastic and this school is like a family, everyone takes care of each other and trains hard but also respectfully. Highly recommend

I would give this gym a million stars if I could. The first day I entered the gym I was welcomed with open arms and treated like family. I had never practiced BJJ before but Master Henrique was very patient and willing to teach me regardless. I have been at this gym for 8 months and I have developed a very strong love for the sport so much so that I go multiple times a day. BJJ has changed my life in a very positive way and I owe it all to my Masters and my teammates. So grateful to have found them.

When I first stepped into this gym, I wanted to learn Jiu Jitsu. Little did I know I would be embarking on a journey which would teach me much, much more. During my time training under master Henrique, I have made great strides in my technical knowledge of grappling. The combined experiences and knowledge of the instructors provide a learning environment which is simply unparalleled. However, its the way which my life has been impacted off the training mats that keeps me coming back. I am reminded of the importance of discipline, hard work and perseverance after each and every class; not just towards my growth as a martial artist but towards my growth as a young professional and human being. This academy provides world class instruction, an environment that truly feels like an extension of my own family and an enriching learning experience which transcends beyond martial arts. Simply put, I couldnt imagine training anywhere else.

This gym has an amazing culture and sense of community. I felt like I belonged since my first day, even though I had no prior experience. The masters are extremely knowledgeable and have very impressive BJJ pedigrees. Thank you, Henrique and Duda, for being outstanding teachers and even better human beings! If you want high-quality BJJ training with high-quality teachers and teammates, this is the place to be.

Henrique the owner is a wonderful person always tries his best to make everyone feel welcomed. He is also a great instructor as well as Duda who isgreat with kids. My son loves them both and has learned so much in just 2 months. Christy is also a sweetheart and a treat to be around. I highly recommend Gama Filho Martial Arts.

The Best Martial Arts gym I’ve ever trained at. From day 1, Coaches Henrique, Duda and the entire team made me feel at home. The gym offers a wide range of training options, ranging from laid back technical training for beginners to intensive competition style rolls for competitors. Also, there is a wide range of skill sets among the team, from brand new White belts to world class Black Belts and everything in between. I started training here about five months ago and when I look back, I cannot compare the martial artist I was to the one I am now. I have learned SO much, it is hard to describe.Corin

Since the first day I started training at Gama Filho I have been treated with the upmost respect. The Masters dedicate their time and knowledge to you, the team is great and makes you feel like you are part of their family!

A true temple of martial arts! Highly qualified professionals. Unique atmosphere and receptivity.

Reference in martial arts.Excellent professionals and a unique environment.
