START Jiu Jitsu Academy

START Jiu-Jitsu is the best school I could of chosen. The instructor’s take the time to make sure you understand the fundamentals of jiu-jitsu and it’s application for tournament and real life self defense scenarios. START has been life changing for me. The school has great core values and caters to young and old. I could not have made a better choice than START and would recommend this school to anyone wanting to learn BJJ.

My daughter been coming for more than 8 months and she loves it and the professors are always very attentive to her and teaching her in the areas she needs to improve. They all show her respect and she feels likes it’s her second family. The best decision I made for my 14 year old daughter.!!

We absolutely love START Jiu Jitsu! Our boys have been attending over a year and a half now and we couldn't be happier. They have lots of fun while also learning and practicing defense techniques, core values and discipline. It is evident that the coaches and professors are deeply invested in their students and their performance, not only on the mat, but also at home. The sense of community they provide is very endearing and important to us, they are always hosting special and family events- getting everyone involved. It really is just a great and wholesome environment, one we are proud to be a part of and will continue to be a part of for years to come!

The academy is very clean and any questions or concerns I have, there is always someone there who is knowledgeable and can help me. They help build confidence and discipline, not to mention great self defense techniques. My daughter has been going there for over 6 months and she loves it! Great family oriented place for your kids to grow and learn.

We were recommended by another great jiu jitsu school in downtown Miami, and we are very happy to have found Start Jiu Jitsu. My three kids have been going there since we moved to the area and they have kept fit and have been developing great techniques and discipline. The instructors are also very good with them. Overall i am thankful to have them close by.

This place is Amazing, my son has been attending for two months now and absolutely loves it. The instructors are tough, but nurturing. They make it a point to make every student feel welcome and push to get the best out of them. Wonderful martial arts school and we are so happy to be part of it.

I have been at START for about 4 years now, and I have to say that it is an amazing place to learn jiu-jitsu. Compared to other gyms, there is no ego. Everyone is treated as part of the family and other are willing to help and teach instead of just trying to show off. Professor Lima and all the professors are great teachers and not afraid to give pointers and help when needed. The professors are all legitimate black belts with years of practice. The facilities are cleaned regularly, so no worry of outbreaks or any other diseases. It's a great school, come visit if you want to learn jiu-jitsu.

This is my first Stand alone Jiu Jitsu academy and all the professors are amazing instructors. They are patient in teaching you techniques and they make sure you understand the techniques and how to apply them to sparing session and or in self-defense scenarios.

This is my first time doing Jiu Jitsu and I am so glad I chose to join START! The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. They explain and demonstrate everything very well during the class. Overall, a great experience!

Just joined two weeks ago and have really enjoyed my experience already. The staff and instructors are phenomenal and make learning bjj fun and easy to understand. The other members are also very friendly and treat you as though you’ve been a member for years. I look forward to going to each class and can’t wait to track my progress in the months to come!
