Daniel Perez Jiu-Jitsu Academy

“If this is your fist bjj gym, consider yourself lucky. Despite being a gym in the middle of the suburbs, there’s a large number of high-level grapplers on the mat every night eager to help and break down the moves. You can join at the fitness level you’re at and there’s no shame in doing only what you can. Everyone is welcome. If you’re more experienced, rest assured the coach has thoroughly thought out each class and has direction to his gym. No random moves of the day. Every class builds upon the last, making it so that you don’t want to miss a day and be behind on the week’s sequence. There are multiple black belts on the mat nightly and plenty of other colored belts of every size (women too!) to get tough rolls with. The coach, Danny, is just an all-around cool dude who attracts good people to his gym. Fair price. No dumb rules or pressure to buy their gear. No gender segregation or cliques, just teammates. Unfortunately, I moved and no longer attend Danny’s but can still recognize 90% of the people in team pictures years later. People stay for a reason. If you have kids, this place is pretty accommodating. You might have to cover your child’s ears, but they are welcome to hang around adult classes. There’s also a pretty large kid’s class and the coaches who teach it are also good guys who genuinely love jiu jitsu. Seriously, bring your whole family.”

“We go to Daniel’s gym as a family. My self, husband and my three kids are part of the Daniel Perez jiu Jitsu family! This is our second home for us and our kids. Our kids love their coaches, we build a friendship with all the kids and they are all now like siblings in their own way. We love Daniel he makes us laugh each day as his showing us ways to defend ourselves and choke some people out 😂. We definitely made the right choice by joining Daniels Pérez Jiu Jitsu.”

“I made the best decision choosing this gym for my kids to learn BJJ. From the moment I walked in (October 2022) Daniel was very warm and welcoming and came introduced himself, providing information and offered my kids (7 &13) to jump in the same day. In such a short time my kids have learned so much not only from Daniel but everyone who comes here because it is a very family, friendly dynamic. Bryant and Alexis train the kids class and they are FANTASTIC and so incredibly patient! They provide the kids discipline with lots of love. They are super driven to bring out the best in our children. My boys love coming here and being apart of this team - it has never felt like a chore for them. We will definitely be at this gym for the long run so look no further! Highly recommend!”

“I loved training at Daniel Perez Jiu jitsu while in Miami. I’ve been looking for a great coach and Danny and the black belt crew are some of the best strategic minds in the game today. They have a great kids program as well. Most importantly, I had the time of my life training and spending time with the team. I couldn’t stay for more than a few years because I had to move for work but I gained a family for life.”

“Amazing BJJ Academy all the way around. From their kids program to the advanced adults classes, sports bjj or self defense, theres something for everyone. My kids joined their program and have gained not only valuable Jiu Jitsu technical knowledge but also confidence and have an awesome time team-building with their classmates. The kids classes are one big family unit! Alexis and Bryant do an awesome job!!! Keep it up boys!!! On the adult side Daniel runs an amazing program thats easy to understand and apply to your game right away. Every day you'll be adding to your skill and building confidence. There are multiple time slots available to work around most busy schedules so you can go through your journey at your own pace. If you're on the fence about visiting come on by! See you on the mats 🤙🏻”
