The head coach’s (Coach JB and coach Manny) are amazing! World class instruction is what many want but many don’t receive. Here at WMB you get it all and more! The way they run the classes and the way the Manager Sierra guides people through the joining process is all super impressive. Can’t explain how much I love coming here. I’ve been training at WMB for 8 years and don’t plan on stopping! If you want great instruction, amazing technique, please come to WMB !!

Last year i enrolled my kids to begin training, I signed up to pay $175/month understanding this was for both kids. After my oldest child took one class, I was charged $350 + I had also bought the uniforms and equipment. I thought this was an error and it was close to the next month, so as I left messages to speak with someone, i got charged another $350. I quickly cancelled the classes and asked for a refund since there was a miscommunication as to the cost of the classes.I requested a refund, however I was told by the owner that the billing is done by an outside company and he has no control over the money billed. To resume, my daughter took one class, I was charged $700. And never received a refund.I had no problems with the staff, they were really nice.

My daughter has been going to WMB for over a year now, and the positivity, patience, and encouragement has made her feel like part of a family. Coach Sierra is a sweetheart, and Im grateful to Coaches Manny and David for the expertise, humor, and kindness that makes her look forward to training.

WMB is an amazing place for both children and adults. The staff and the instructors are very caring and patient. Both my daughters loved coming to WMB because of the instructors and the environment and would get upset if we couldn’t make it one day. They enjoyed learning new skills. Unfortunately we had to take a break from WMB but are hoping to re-enroll the girls in the summer. If anyone is considering enrolling their child or themselves in WMB, don’t think twice! This place is made to make you feel like family while learning skills you can apply in your everyday lives.**Thank you to all the coaches who made two little girls want to become a Jujitsu instructors when they grow up!**

My daughter has been going to WMB for several years now and she loves it. The coaches are amazing. They keep the kids engaged and motivated to learn.JB and his team not only teach martial arts. They take an active role in teaching these kids life lessons like being independent and responsible, making good decisions, never giving up and rising to the challenge when things get tough.I highly recommend WMB!

WMB is a prefect place to learn self defense in different styles. Also I would recommend this over a gym any day because you’ll get the exercise needed. First off, the coaches are very helpful and they’ll take you step by step. They know what they’re doing. I take as much night classes possible and during my first month, I have learned a lot. My confidence is up and my body is in great shape. I recommend stop paying for a gym membership and come here to learn move that can save your life.

I have my three kids in classes (ages 6 to12), and they love it. The instructors are very kind, fun, and attentive to the kids, making sure the kids stay focused, enjoy the class, and learn the techniques properly. The staff also focus on kids doing good outside of class. This is a very professional and family friendly place. Highly recommend.

I dont think there is a word in the dictionary that can describe how amazing and special this place is. My son is 10 years old and joined WMB almost 2 years ago. With a son newly diagnosed with ADHD and Aspergers my son has flourished and has found his confidence and something that he truly loves. I have spoken to the coaches about issues in school or bullying or grades or even behavior and the support and overall love they have for the kids is priceless. I have been to many places and my kids hated going. At WMB my son has made friends and has found something he is good at and feels a part of a team. The summer camp is unique and educational. I personally look forward to my sons classes and we belong there. If you want that interpersonal relationship and results and a positive atmosphere then this is the place you need to be. Now, my 7 year old daughter started 2 weeks ago. After trying a class and becoming a part of the WMB family she asked me to pull her out of dance and gymnastics! So now we are a full-time WMB family and I would not trade it for anything in the world!

This center has been like a second home for my son since he started training 2 years ago; he has grown and developed in so many ways thank you to all the hard work, discipline and invaluable knowledge of their coaches. In WMB, the coaches are role models, they not only teach martial arts, but moral and ethical values that Im sure will guide our kids for the rest of their life.

My 8 year old daughter wanted to take martial arts classes so I started looking for a gym. After looking at several martial arts gyms in my area and not having a good feeling about any of them. We decide to go to WMB even though it was a 25 minute drive for us. A friend of mine took her children there and she was happy with the gym. They had exactly what I as a parent was looking for, caring people that are interested in the children as a whole. I have both my daughters 8 and 4 going there now and they absolutely love it. They cant wait to go to their classes and my oldest has gotten more self confidence from going to WMB. JB is a great coach and shows great interest in the kids, teaching them things not even relating to martial arts before and after class. Coach Sierra is the face you see when you come in the office always warm and greeting everyone walking through the door. All the Daves are incredible coaches and really love what they do and take great interest in the kids. I Love this place!

Awesome place, great coaches. High intensity but very well organized training. If you want a belt, go somewhere else, if youre ready to train and earn it, this is the place. I highly recommend Miami WMB if your ready to learn.

Absolutely the best school ever!!! Switched my kids to WMB from another school and definitely made the right decision. The coaches are fantastic the staff is excellent. I cant say enough great things. JB is an amazing coach and leader, he is tough, and extremely involved with the kids. He notices the kids strengths and weaknesses, and works on building up the kids like I have never seen before. My kids and my husband enjoy training at WMB, it has made them bond on a whole other level.

The gym exceeded my expectations, each sports trainers are motivated and very experienced, all the coaches handle excellent techniques and good methodology. Children know what is expected of them and they strive to achieve the goals at each level. You see a group of children who are motivated, happy and with great self-esteem. In summary, WMB is where champions are formed.

My twins loves training here we began coming to WMB in early Jan of 2017, they’re 5 years old. We have seen a great amount of improvement in both of our children. The instructors are very patient with the kids while still maintaining discipline. WMB has instilled many other life skills like self-defense, respect for one another and focus. All the teachers are very approachable, loving, friendly, always listen to our opinions and share their thoughts, but most importantly, their compassion for the kids and the encouragement they provide. I give WMB Jiu Jitsu my highest recommendation. Have your child try a class, you will be glad you did! WMB is family!

Perfect Martial Arts for all levels kids and adults. My kids have thrived in all parts of their lives thanks to the principals and discipline learned here. Summer camp for kids has to have the best most creative Curriculum in Miami. The adult training spans from beginners to professional fighters and the trainers and coaches are the most knowledgeable and advanced I’ve ever learned from.

I wanted to write a spectacular review for WMB, but as you can see from all the other reviews, it would just get lost in a sea of positivity. Instead, I will give those doing research some advice. You owe it to yourself and/or your children to be involved with the very best training you can get. How do you know you are getting the very best training? Well, the fact is that if you are not familiar with Martial Arts, then you just dont know. Even if you are familiar with Martial Arts, it can sometimes be difficult to discern the real from the fake. Here are some of the questions you can ask yourself, the gym owner or the other members. Does the training provide a level of physical exertion that forces muscle adaptations and cardio vascular improvements? Do the instructors engage on a one on one basis and require precision with the techniques being taught? Do instructors provide feedback during and after class? Does the school curriculum allow for progression? Are the classes split into levels of experience and age groups? Does the school allow for you to test what you have learned in a controlled environment? Does the school have a competition team that promotes competition at the local, regional, national and world levels? Does the school produce champions on a consistent basis? These are just basic questions that a quality gym should be able to answer with a yes to most, if not all. However, what makes WMB the best goes way beyond the basics. The people that work at WMB are a tight knit family and when you join the academy, they want you to be a part of that family as well. They care about the behavior of your children during training and while in school. They want your children to be an ambassador to you, WMB and to Martial Arts as a whole. By joining WMB, you will not only be giving your children an opportunity to learn how to defend themselves against others with grappling and striking, you will be giving them the way to a more peaceful existence. You will be giving them the power to defeat one’s greatest opponent, the self. There is no greater rival than the mind that believes in failure through loss. They will learn that real victory is achieved through adversity and determination. They will learn that a winner is not made through the accumulation of medals and trophies. A true winner is forged in the crucible of loss and pain. They will become a part of an elite group of human beings that can walk this earth with their heads held high in search of excellence in all that they do, because they have been initiated. They will aspire to seek new challenges for the sheer enjoyment of self-improvement. You will notice levels of independence rarely seen in today’s youth. They will exude confidence and become defenders of the meek. You may be proud of them now as kids, but you have no idea how incredibly honored you will be to know them as adults. The path of the warrior most often leads towards the garden, but if war were to arrive, it shall not find a gardener.

My 3 children absolutely love walking into the gym everyday going on 4 years now! It is truly their home away from home.There are several things that separate WMB from the rest of the Martial Arts Schools out there today.Being a teacher myself, I truly understand how difficult it can be at times to work with children, and yet I’m constantly impressed with how well the coaches continuously connect and motivate the students. The Coaches are extremely qualified and work well with children of all ages and needs. The Coach to Student ratio is always 4-1 to 6-1.No child is left out.NO other Martial Arts School offers this!At WMB it’s not just about Jiu jitsu and Muay Thai, the coaches focus on the students themselves and their overall development, striving for each child to become a leader in his or her own way.And if that’s not enough, my kids have won at the World Level!I wouldn’t trust my children anywhere else!

Hands down the best BJJ/Muay Thai instruction in all of Miami. Classes are tailored for age groups and usually never more than 4 students per instructor!!! Having been places where it is common to see 1 instructor attempt to teach 30 people it is like night and day! If you’re a competitive bjj athlete, just wanna get in shape or just want to have self defense knowledge . Wmb is for you!!!

Cesar has been a student of this great academy for more than 1year. He has developed in so many ways, it’s incredible. The skills he has learned, not only in jiujitsu but in life’s journeys, have helped him in school and at home as well. As a parent, I am most grateful for the structure Coach JB and Instructors have given him. No challenge in life will ever be too difficult. Also I am grateful for all of our new friends that have resulted from attending WMB !!. Thank you Coach JB and crew for everything you have given us specially to Cesar!We appreciate you Coach and your staff and I highly recommend you as a great jiujitsu academy.!

Perfect place for our children!!! Teaching them self-confidence, how to defend themselves AND avoid fights!------------------------We originally started our children at another place, it closed down.After that, brought to another place and they had 28 kids for one instructor! Saw kids getting hurt so we went to another place.That third place allowed their students to bully and ridicule other students in class! Horrible!By this point, our kids have been training for about a year, we heard about WMB, and even though its over a 30 minute drive for us, we gave it a shot since it was recommended. The WMB students that had half the experience could beat our kids in the beginning.. the details and fundamentals were awesome! At first one of our kids were nervous because of the intensity, our other children jumped right in, after awhile, the one that was nervous is one of the top students for her age lolRatio of instructors to students is amazing. Dicsipline level is fantastic!On top of it all, my kids will ask JB (the owner/main instructor - who is very hands-on) how to handle certain situations they are faced with at school - he gives excellent advice, so we encourage it.Exactly one year later and we are still more than happy to continue the long drive back and forth to bring our children there!

Review №41

WMB is THE best gym... period. The instructors are kind and caring to your needs, and will get you through any rough patches you go through while learning a technique. The easy-ish curriculum is fun and exciting, and you will get this down. The classes are all fun and exciting, but if you are just here to become a bully, you will be put in your place. WMB may be just a fighting gym to some people but to the students it has become a second home, and to each other we have become a family. A very well-trained family of martial artists and great people. If you are second guessing wether or not to come here, DONT. Just come on down and check us out, JB will show you around so dont worry about feeling alone, or lost. My name is William, and I love WMB.

World class Jiu jitsu, MMA, Muay Thai instruction!!! I can say this gym has made an amazing impact on my life. Since starting Im 80 pounds down and hungry to learn more. My children have been going for about a year and no longer have to worry about being bullied and pushed around at school. The instruction that they have obtained has helped them to be strong independent confident individuals!!! You need to try this gym!!!

WMB is the real deal if you are interested in JIU Jitsu training for your child. Coach JB and all his assistants are simply the best in the industry hands down. We have been there for 2.5 years and my son has completely transformed is many ways besides JIU Jitsu. I recommend this place to everyone.

Review №45

In South Florida, martial arts/fitness gyms are a dime a dozen, making it nearly impossible to separate contenders from pretenders, and contenders from World Champions without wasting away years of your life – not to mentioned a bevy of injuries.Luckily, experience is often associated with knowledge and wisdom, and much like the old cliché, “If I knew then what I know now” serves true, so does the fact that WMB-Miami is bar none the best choice for: Children of all ages, women of all shapes and sizes, (young and old) adults with or w/out goals, and high-caliber athletes simply wanting to take their talents/skills to the next level.At WMB-Miami you will not only find world-class instructors (BJJ World Champs, UFC/Strikeforce/EliteXC vets, etc) teaching you the most effective (BJJ, Muay Thai, MMA, Western Boxing, etc) techniques, you will find respect, humility, discipline, friendships that will last a lifetime, and everything else that the traditional martial arts were intended to, in an environment where everyone is treated equally.If you’re ready to embark on the journey that is finding the best gym tailored to your specific long/short term needs, I commend you! However, do yourself a favor and put WMB-Miami at the top of your list. Don’t just take my word for it, visit them and see where/how World Champs are built and polished!

Review №47

I have trained at a few gyms in South Florida, and I can tell you without a doubt that WMB is the very best gym in the South Florida area. From my very first day I felt very welcome, and everyone there from the coaches to the team members were not only eager to train, teach, and learn, but they were also willing to give me tips during there own time. I was so impressed by the gym that I decided to enroll my 7 year old daughter in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, and Muay Thai.The head coaches are very knowledgable and work very well with children to help them understand the techniques as well as the history of the martial arts. We feel like part of movement training with our partners and doing are best to help one another get better and achieve our goals. In the time that weve been training at WMB we have both seen substantial changes in our technique. The moment my daughter got on the mats she took to both Muay Thai and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu like a duck to water. Coach Dave Gomez, and Coach JB teach her and the other kids in a way that they not only understand but retain the knowledge and understand the importance of the lesson being taught. The Assistant Coaches do a wonderful job with the kids as well. You can see their love for the Martial Arts through the way they interact with everyone, not only during training but off the mats as well. There have been several moments where Ive asked the Assistant Coaches to help me or my daughter with a specific technique and they are always more than happy to aid us in our understanding.There is a reason WMB is the best in South Florida, and it resides inside the entire Coaching Staffs love of the arts and their desire to pass on their knowledge to anyone who is willing to learn.

Our granddaughter is in this school, and we are very happy and proud to have her listed here. It is a family environment. The teachers are very good and attentive. The competition team produces champions. The Brazilian and very Thai jiu jitsu classes are great and the atmosphere is always clean. We recommend this school to everyone who is seeking instruction in martial arts.
