Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu near Miami Beach, FL
Miami Beach's serious BJJ destination — fifteen minutes straight up Collins Avenue from the Lincoln Road area. Champion-level instruction, competition-quality training partners, and a first class that's free.
South Beach has plenty of gyms; Mid-Beach has a few; North Beach (Normandy Shores) has fewer. What North Beach and the north end of Miami Beach have always lacked is a BJJ school with world-champion coaching. That's the gap Winners fills. Our Miami Beach students are typically serious about training — they're willing to drive the fifteen minutes up Collins because what they get at the other end is different.
For visitors staying in Miami Beach hotels — we take drop-ins. If you train back home and want to keep your game sharp during a week in Miami Beach, book a drop-in class and come train. Many of our regulars started as drop-ins during a Miami Beach vacation.
For locals: we run serious no-gi rounds weekly, which matters in a Miami Beach demographic where MMA cross-training is common. Head Coach Jonatas Gurgel is 5-0 as a professional MMA fighter on top of his BJJ résumé — he understands where your jiu-jitsu needs to go if striking is in your future.
