Ive been training BJJ for 4 years and can confidently say this is my favorite gym for jiu jitsu…read more The guys that train there are all great and tough, but the camaraderie outside the gym also makes it a very fun place to train. The head instructor Marciano is a 4th degree black belt with professional MMA experience, but he's also the nicest guy and it's easy to learn from him. If you live in south Miami I highly recommend a visit to Temple!

I've been following Boxing closely for the last 2-3 years and trained on my own (only…read moreconditioning/weightlifting) for the last 5+ since I consider myself a hard-worker and someone that can hold myself accountable and make good progress alone. I reached a high level of bodybuilding and weightlifting and finally felt "fit" enough to pursue boxing thinking that I had already bypassed most of the strength and condition aspects and could solely focus on "boxing skills". Boy, was I wrong. I've been working with coach Mario for the last three weeks. After the first session, I truly realized that I 1) have no idea what it takes to actually be in shape to step into the ring and 2) I also realized that if I was going to do this, I need to give it 150% because that's what coach Mario is giving. He will work with you, identify your goals, and lay out a plan to get you there. After only three weeks, I can say that my cardio, footwork, hand speed, fundamentals, power, speed, and every other skill has vastly improved. I can't wait to see where the rest of my journey takes me. Whether you simply want to get in better shape or you want to take it to the level of amateur boxing, coach Mario will help you achieve those goals. You will not be disappointed. You will leave your workouts feeling great. Yes, you will be tired but you will feel inspired and motivated.

I never feel out of place, and I feel like I learn something new every single class.Overall, it's just a really good environment, great people, and a fun way to learn Muay Thai and get a good workout in. Definitely recommend!

BE AWARE!!! Someone…read moreposted a review in google for this academy, and it read as follows: "How is possible the lack of discipline and to permit the bullying in the academy for little kids? 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!

Have you not moved off of your couch for years and are completely out of shape? Are you an elite…read moreathlete needing a new challenge? Are you looking to learn how to defend yourself? 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.

I was invited here by a colleague to join a group of people for a session of accessible boxing…read morehosted by "BoxAbility Inc." I was skeptical and kind of nervous but decided to go anyways. I was expecting to be frowned upon by others at the gym like we most often are when a group of people show up together all in wheelchairs. However, that wasn't the case here. I was greeted by Brian and Dino and instantly felt comfortable. They assured me that they would work with me at my own pace and I could break at any time I needed to. I was immediately wrapped and ready to start my warm up. Following stretching Dino surprised me with my very own set of gloves and we jumped right into the punching bags. Music was amazing with a live DJ and vibes were on point. I honestly didn't even mind that there was no air conditioning. Lol. I had an amazing time and can't wait to go back!!!

The master/owner Henrique runs it like a place to learn and collaborate socially, not just as a martial arts academy where hitting is the only thing that matters. Kids and Woman really enjoy the environment, while those intended to learn deep the jiu jitsu and martial arts skills can also benefit from a well know and skilled professional in the area. my only if is that they should have machines offering food and drinks around, even though they have plenty of water and coffee available.
