If you are looking for Tai Chi/Chi Gong classes in Miami there are not that many options so I was…read morepleased to find this place that is not too far from me. I tried their Tai Chi class in two different occasions and overall I was pleased with the experience. The second time I was there, I was the only student so I got a private session. The instructor was good at explaining what the class was about and provided details about the meaning behind the moves. In addition to martial arts like Kung Fu, Muay Thai they also offer kickboxing classes. They also have a lot of option for kids and teens. The place is spacious with a padded floor and an area with boxing bags. I visited using Class Pass but is sounds like they only allow it for the first couple times because at the end of the class the instructor offered class packages along with the need to buy the official uniform. Not sure if that is the case for other classes but it looks like they are looking for students who are committed to the practice. I think it's great that they take things seriously but it would have been nice to have more flexibility. I would like to go back to try other classes.

How a professor response is that he can't do anything about bullying? What the owner of this academy let this to happen? I think that a review of the license to operate is due!!" To what the owner of the place, Mario Sperry, replied: "Thank you for your message. You should try another gym. Let us know, how it goes. Good luck!" My review/response to his sarcastic reply (and gave one star as it doesn't let you give a lower rating): Seriously!!?? is that your response to a review about a little kid being bullied on your watch!!??? go out there and let us know how it goes!!??? I believe that the core principles or pillars of martial arts are still discipline, respect, and patience, but evidently, not in your gym. My son took judo classes when he was little (I can give you the name of the place because it is still around--too bad is far from their house) and the most important things he was taught early on was, 1) follow the rules, 2) discipline, and 3) respect, that's why he enrolled his son in a martial arts school, to learn the technique but also to form him as a respectful adult. You might have a million medals and hold a 6th degree black belt, but you are clearly does not care about discipline and respect, or the safety of the children entrusted to you to teach and guide. What type of gym are you running, a daycare for little kids or a place where values and respect are also taught as part of the enrollment package? Such a disgrace to the sport and such a lack of respect to the community and parents! I definitely second the idea of a full review, by either the MMA, USJJF, USJJO, IBJJF, and any other regulator out there!

Are you just new to Miami and looking to meet friends? Have you listened to Joe Rogan and now want to see what Jiu Jitsu is all about? If you answered yes to any of the questions above then you need to stop by the family atmosphere, Mario Sperry's gym for a free class. I started watching a lot of YouTube and heard Joe Rogan swear by Jiu Jitsu. It made me curious so I looked for a gym close to me. Mario Sperry Martial Arts was only one mile from me so I sent them an e-mail and they responded right back to me. I warned them that I was older, out of shape, and non-athletic, but they told me to come on in and check out a free class. As I walked up to the studio a man walking a few steps ahead stopped and introduced himself (the Mario Sperry culture). We went in and he told me all about the studio and why he loves it. The famous Mario Sperry was teaching a class, but when he saw me he came over and introduced himself. This gym is for everyone. Men, women, little kids, and retired adults all can be found here. The instructors are fluent in English, Spanish, and Portuguese so there is never a problem communicating no matter where you're from. There is a huge range of experience. There are black belts that have been practicing 30+ years and almost everyday there are new people, so when you come in you probably won't be alone. On the first day you'll walk in and everyone will start talking to you, and then a professor will help you get some gear to try out the class. You'll be partnered up with a more experienced belt who will guide you through your first class. Everyone has had their first day of Jiu Jitsu so it's expected that you will be tired and you are encouraged to go at your own pace. You'll have the rest of your life to improve. A general class lasts an hour, but you're so busy that it feels like ten minutes. There is free parking and clean bathrooms and showers in case you have somewhere to go right after class. There is a wide range of Jiu Jitsu classes throughout the week, at different times of the day to accommodate multiple schedules. On Monday, Wednesday, and Friday there is also an MMA kickboxing class taught by Javier and Thiago . It's intense and you will sleep like a baby after you work out with them. You always learn something new from them and they quickly help you develop muscle memory. On Saturday there is a mobility class where the professor teaches you to move and push your body in ways that it's not trained to do. Then after there is an open mat session where you can work on moves, roll (practicing Jiu Jitsu live) or just talk with each other. Come in and learn from these knowledgeable professors in a safe and friendly environment. You'll be in better shape, will have unlimited challenges, and will be able to network with people from all different backgrounds.

What is capoeira? Dance fighting? While that answer is partially correct (breakdancing moves are…read morebased on capoeira) Capoeira is much more than that. Capoeira is a Brazilian martial art that dates back to the slavery era in Bahia, Brazil. Unlike any other form of martial art, capoeira is practiced with music. Without music there is no capoeira, as the moves performed are driven by the rhythmic sounds of the atabaque (similar to a conga drum), the berimbau (a stringed instrument that resembles a bow), and the pandeiro (like a tamborine). A true capoeirista not only masters the moves, but also masters the instruments. Capoeira Sol e Lua provides the groundwork to lead even a new student upon the path to becoming an excellent capoeirista. Sol e Lua is led by Instructora India, an amazing teacher who strives to get the very best out of her students. Classes meet on Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday. On MWF Beginners class goes from 6:30-8:00pm and the Advanced level class goes from 8:00-9:00pm. On Saturdays, a music class goes from 10-11am, and the all-levels class goes from 11am-12noon. It should be noted, however, that beginners are encouraged to attend the advanced levels classes as most of the classes are mixed anyways. Drop-in rates are $15 a class, but reasonably priced monthly rates with unlimited classes are also available. Capoeira has provided me with one of the best workouts I have ever experienced. It really pushes you to challenge yourself, both mentally and physically. While the workouts are tough, they are a lot of fun. I highly recommend Sol e Lua as an excellent school to learn, train, and play capoeira. Axe!
