What Our Students Say

Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.

Bella Tobin

"I dropped into Ground Game a couple of times while I was in Miami for work and it was such a great environment! Everyone was very welcoming and the instruction was awesome. I'm new to the CLA classes and it was a super fun experience. Instructors Keanoush and Carmichael were very clear and made sure to give everyone tips and pointers. The gym is also spacious and CLEAN. I'll be back for sure!!"

Stefan Pizzi

"Hands down the best gym I’ve ever trained at! I’ve been training for 9 years and had hit a plateau—but after just a few months here, I’ve started seeing noticeable progress week-to-week. The owners, Carlmichael and Keanoush, are exceptional practitioners and even better teachers. They give students the freedom to guide their own development and actively encourage questions, which fosters real understanding. They’re also ahead of the curve when it comes to coaching. They’ve embraced the Ecological Approach to skill development, and my transition from traditional drilling to Eco has been a game-changer for me. The gym itself is top-notch—tons of mat space, and the custom sub-flooring makes a huge difference in reducing wear and tear on the body. Most importantly, the community here is incredible. My training partners are welcoming, focused on learning, and completely ego-free. I can’t recommend this gym enough!"

Nate Clutch

"Love this gym and the excellent instructors; Keanoush, Carmichael, John, Alex, give plenty of attention to detail when demonstrating the techniques and explaining the purpose of each game. The members are great as well, everyone is very friendly and respectful, highly recommended."

daniel pardo

"I’ve been training at GGT for a few months now, and it’s been an incredible experience. The coaches are knowledgeable, supportive, and truly care about each student’s progress. The community is welcoming, and everyone pushes each other to be better. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced practitioner, the environment is perfect for growth. Highly recommend it to anyone looking to improve their skills in a positive and motivating atmosphere."
