I met Mestre Montanha a few years ago and we became great friends. I learned and learn a lot from him. I believe that the class at Miami Dade Police Dpt was one of the best I could attend. I recommend it for the whole family and from children to the elderly. Miami has a jewel and the students are fortunate to have the Mountain as a teacher. May God bless you Master!

Professor Montanha and his team are exceptional. The training, experience and environment are great. Ever since my 9 year old daughter started a few weeks ago she has shown immense improvement with her self- esteem and self-defense which were our priority. Thank you professor, we are forever grateful!

Montanha is the real deal. He belongs to a crop of GB fighters of the 90s who changed the way Jiu-Jitsu was seen. You can’t learn from a more reliable source, that much connected with the Jiu-Jitsu roots.

My son has been in the bjj class for almost 1 year. He is a 5 years old boy and loves the class and Professor. Fun classes and nice people. Strong recommend.

Love Montanha BJJ! Very humble and intimate academy. Which is always a preference of mine. My son & I love it ! Its an overall great environment, Professor Montahna can be intimidating at first but is a great master of the art and an excellent teacher. As far as the other students, they make you feel at home and the kids class has really helped my son release build up energy from sitting in class all day (hes 8). =)

Best jiu jitsu school in Miami, professor Montanha is a true legend. Oss

Love the environment, great professor and ever since my daughter started we have seen so much growth in her self confidence! She loves it

Incredible environment!!! Master Daniel “Montanha” is a great guy, very kind and very technical in jiu-jítsu. A real legend in this sport!I strongly recommend!

Knows his stuff, high level and world class! As a black belt and school owner myself I know Professor Daniel personally and you can’t go wrong training here.

Amazing professors. Amazing vibes. Everything I was looking for when finding a Jiujitsu gym.

Amazing gym, great atmosphere. Everybody is super friendly and helpful. I can’t recommend it enough!

Professor Daniel Montanha is an exceptional, word-class BJJ fighter and master, and needs no introduction. On a personal note, he is also a great man with a heart of gold, who knows how to teach and relate to our little ones with kindness and patience. My son TJ joined his school 1 year ago, when he was 5, and has since quickly acquired great defensive skills and confidence, thanks to the teachings of Professor Montanha, in an environment that fosters respect, safety and correctness, both on the mat and in life. He loves to go to the classes and has developed lots of affection for his Professor. More recently, Professor Roberto Bobby Godoy has joined Professor Montanha in teaching the little ones, and he is another wonderful pillar of the school. Hands down best BJJ school and teachers!!!

I have trained with Professor a few years ago. He is one of the best

Great school, very professional and clean environment, I as black belt highly recommend, all ages ! Daniel it’s a great instructor and mentor !

Very good atmosphere, amazing academy, friendship on the mats and Professor Daniel Montanha teach the real Jiu Jitsu. High Level Instruction. Do not miss the opportunity to check this place!

Professor Daniel De Lima is one of my first Jiu Jitsu Instructors. If you in Miami and really want to learn from the source Professor De Lima is a Jiu Jitsu World Champion & Black Belt under Master Carlos Gracie Jr. besides to be a warrior he is super passionate about his academy and students. I move maybe 10 years ago from Miami but students that us to train at the same time as me are now black belts and still training under Montanha, that really says a lot of mutual loyalty, students loyalty and Teacher loyal to his students too. Cant wait to be in Miami to visit this Academy.

The Montanha BJJ Academy has been a place with awesome people to learn from and train with. Professor Daniel is a world-class practitioner who will help you achieve your goals. Daniel has helped my daughters and I develop the skills necessary to enjoy sparring with just about anybody and defend ourselves need be.

I was reluctant to start as an out of shape, uncoordinated 40 year old, which is why it was especially important for me to start. Everyone at Montanha Jiu Jitsu Academy will help you push yourself and help you improve. Learn Self Obedience, Discipline, Humility & Self Defense from a true Master of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. I cant think of any activity that is more likely to improve your life. Stop considering your options and commit.

Montanha jiu jitsu academy is the best academy to trainning in miami, the location is perfect to me .The montanha professor is a great professional .

One of a kind joint in South Miami......top notch skills in a family-oriented environment....a must!!!

As a father, I was always concerned about my daughters safety when she was walking alone, or in an elevator or in a park lot. I started researching on personal defense to find out that jiu jitsu is the most appropriate type of martial arts to deal with in these situations. My daughter trained with Daniel for 4 years, before going away to college, and during this time, she went from nothing to blue belt and left bordering purple belt. She lives in Boston now, but whenever she is in Miami visiting us she trains with him. The jiu jitsu training helped her build her confidence and self esteem. I also want to mention that it is a great environment and as someone already said here, Daniel may appear intimidating at the beginning, but he is very friendly, a great teacher with many years of experience, very professional and he gives attention and care for the students on individual basis, so no one is left alone in his classes.

Professor Daniel is the best BJJ instructor in the Miami area. His knowledge, technique and passion for the sport is unmatched. You will feel welcome and supported the moment you step into his gym, great group of students I highly recommend!!

Literally the best Jiu Jitsu school in Miami. Been a proud member for over a year and a half 👌🏼

Its the best gym in the area. If you are looking for the real Brazilian Jiu-jitsu dont waste your time, go there and learn from the best teacher

Hands down one of best bjj schools Ive trained at. Ive been to other schools when I was traveling and none of them came close to this one. This school is also very military friendly.

I’ve been training at this school for over 10 years. Professor Montanha is one the best inMiami. Everyone is friendly and great atmosphere.

The best BJJ school in Miami, great instruction, training, and people. I recommend for adults and kids, Professor Daniel is amazing! Great facility, clean, convenient schedule, and location right on US1.

You can’t ask for more knowledgeable instruction, and an environment that is both supportive and family friendly.

Just went to this academy after i found it on groupon. I spoke to the person in charge who had a nasty attitude. I said could you tell me a little about the program as I have never practiced jiu jitsu before. Then he answered what are you doing here if you dont know. If you are going to ride a motocycle you first find out about how to do it. The guy was nasty as it could be and I would never attend a place where you take away such a first impression

My 3 boys have been going to the classes here for 4 years now. They have learnt discipline and the art of jiujitsu. Very happy with the Proffesor and all the teachers.

Great BJJ school, visited for the Saturday class. Very friendly, fun, and detailed instruction. Will definitely visit again when Im in Miami!

Excellent school! Amazing facility!

If you’re looking to a place to train. This is the gym. Real Brazilian jiu-jitsu

Ive been part of the academy for over three years and I can confidently say that this is an extraordinary place to learn Jiujitsu, make friends and be healthy. I strongly recommend Montanha Jiujitsu Academy to everyone looking for top notch instruction, friendly atmosphere and a great and clean facility. Without doubts this is the best BBJ place in Miami!!

Best bjj school in miami for all levels of bjj practitioners.

Whether youre a fighter, looking for fitness or anything else Montanha BJJ is the place to go, you will learn to achieve your goals through hard work and determination. Bjj and Muay Thai program are the best in Miami come learn with true lions in a fun and friendly atmosphere

I’ve been training at Montanha Jiu Jitsu Academy for 15 years and I highly recommend it to anyone who is serious about learning Jiu Jitsu.

Great place, great people, fantastic instructor. For kids and adults.

I have been training at Gracie Barra Miami under Professor Daniel Montanha De Lima the best instructor I know since 2006, my experience has been unbelievable since I started. At first I thought this could be a way of getting or staying in shape type of exercise, however from the first day of learning to do an arm bar I was hooked for life. It is more than an exercise, it is much more than I can think of, Brazilian Jiujitsu is a philosophy and an art. For me it is a way of life, my daughters one 29 years old is in the womens program and the 11 year old is in the kids program the past 2 plus years. Knowing what I have learned I could not leave them behind. Brazilian Jiujitsu is for everyone.

I trained under Professor Daniel Montanha De Limaand fellow training partners for a little over a year and can say it was an awesome experience. Professor Montanha is a high level world renown BJJ practitioner. His attention to details in how he teaches technique shows his passion towards the art. He wants to see you get better and supports and encourages all of his students equally.He along with all of his students are good hearted and kind individuals that strive to help each other become better BJJ practitioners. I consider him a friend as well as a mentor. Everyone is very humble and welcoming, you feel at home when you become part of the team. I highly recommend this gym to anyone who is interested in learning BJJ for self defense or to improve health or any other reason for that matter. The facilities are always clean and there is tons of mat space to train.Learn BJJ from one of the best and highly respected professors in the world with a direct lineage under Master Carlos Gracie Jr.

Great staff, and great space. Doesnt matter if youre an experienced grappler, or a person looking to try something new, Professor Daniel Montanha de Lima has a class for you.

Hands down, Best teacher with great people to roll with....

They signed a contract on my name without my consent. After 3 months of training I was injured(bone fracture) and I had to leave for recovery, only to find out a month later that my credit report was shot by a collection agency sent by Montanha BJJ. Total amount of $1,775...Very unfair

My son love it, is helping him a lot.

Great gym and great professor.

No better place to train jiujitsu !!

Great person, wonderful master!

Jiu Jitsu ! Class A Jiu Jitsu!
