We dropped in from out of town and had such a great experience! I'm a beginner white belt, so I was a little nervous about dropping into a new academy. But they were very accommodating to me (and other belt colors). Would definitely come back!! read more

Scummy business practices, lock you in on a contract and refuse payment holds under any circumstances. And overcomplicate cancellation by having you fill various forms, even auto renewal requires a form you have to fill on your part in order to cancel. Worse part is that if you decide to leave and perhaps comeback later they require you to sign yet another contract as opposed to monthly service payments. Terrible experience. read more

I go here and I love. My coach, Josè is a very encouraging, active guy and he is super supportive. Christel is a girl who is helping coach Josè and I have been with her since I started. read more

This business overcomplicates cancellation by having you fill multiple forms. They're super shady about their contracts and don't care about what they can get away with morally. They only care about what they can get away with legally read more

Personnel very attentive and nice. Lots of little kids on Sunday class at 10AM. Once the kiddos are done with their class they get a treat from a candy box. read more

Unless you're rich this place isn't for you. And if you try to leave you have to pay like 2 months rent worth of money. Don't let them screw you over. Orange theory is cheaper. I'm surprised they haven't been slammed with a lawsuit yet tbh. There are legit consumer laws that require cancellation to be easy. I gave this place 2 Stars because if moneys not an issue the place has pretty good teachers who are actually very nice. It's unfortunate that they run their business so shady and don't just let the classes speak for themselves. I never post reviews on stuff but I hope anyone who sees this at least has the information to go in and not be bamboozled. read more

Don't pay upfront they're shady about their contracts, they'll do anything to keep the money even if you can't be there any longer

Best MMA class in Miami, Florida!!! I trained here and it helped me finish school and take on more challenges.

This gym not only took my daughter from being bullied to bully proof It also raised her grades I brought my wife hear postpartum and she's in the best shape she's ever been in I myself lost 50 pounds on top of how I feel this Gym has show me techniques that help me protect my family. They start training here from two years old all the way to 60 years olds . With my busy work schedule sometimes it's hard to find time to go to the gym but since they're open 24 hours and have classes from 5 AM to 1 AM it has made it easy for me and my family to train if you want to comPete they have a great fight team or if you just want to get in shape this gym is for you. It's very a family oriented atmosphere. Very useful weight room with everything you need.. read more

I LOVE THIS PLACE!!! I attend the Women's Only BootCamp and love every single sweat drenched moment! I have been going attending the bootcamp for 2 months now and what a difference. I have lost 10lbs but so many inches. They are so nice and the workouts are always different and fun. Time flies. Let me get to the details: Classes: The bootcamp is only for women which was a major selling point for me. Each class is 1 hour long starting at 2 classes per week until they bump you to the third one which is always a kickboxing class. I think they have an unlimited membership but I have not inquired about that as of yet. Oh, but I will!! They work you out inside and outside. You run, squat, lunge, lift weights and so on. Time flies and you drip sweat. You leave there leaving super pumped Cost: I will not get into prices online since I am sure they offer different packages for everyone but I was skeptical about the cost considering they make you do a fitness assessment and such before discussing the cost but I was surprised when I finally learned it. It is doable and worth it. Business: I personally know I need motivation to get my butt into gear as I have tried on my own and have failed. This place provides just that and a lot of support. They give you your own personalized booklet with a meal plan catered to you, your assessment results, your starting measurements and so on. This way you can see your progress. I love the trainers!! The gym itself is open 24 hours a day and also offers things such as mixed martial arts, karate, wrestling and so on.. They are expanding which is much needed as classes are getting fuller every week. I will add some before and after pictures in about 2 months !! Stay tuned! read more

Freestyle Fighting Academy - Kickboxing Near Me - Miami, Florida

Beware of these thieves' shady business practices. They are real slick with their contract wording and sales pitch. I was made believe I was signing a one year contract to the gym, but then a month later they said the contract was only for the beginners classes and I would have to sign a new THREE year contract if I wanted to take the "advanced" classes. When I called them out on their BS, they had the balls to get defensive and said I should be more careful about what I sign. My options were to either sign a new three year contract or stay in the beginners classes. The term "used car salesmen" comes to mind. I stopped going and contacted an attorney. read more

FFA is an amazing mma academy. not only great for adults but also hace my children there and the kids programs are absolutely amazing. highly recommend it. read more

The staff here are really cool and friendly. I enjoyed the training. I liked their training curriculum and their style of teaching... but let me tell you something. They don't disclose all the money involved in moving forward or being promoted to advanced classes. I was so happy to be promoted and finally get some real training (considering I had come from another gym where I was already taking advanced classes) but unfortunately I was gently slapped with a total of $300 to move forward --with!...with!-- an increase in my monthly payment from $160/month to $200/month! --with!...with!-- a mandatory change in my original 6 month contract to a 2 YEAR CONTRACT! None of which was mentioned before signing my first contract... FINESSED lol... I left read more

To start off, I'm from out of town and looked for an academy to train. Now, I was looking for a fun and welcoming environment and found one here at FFA. This is coming from an outsider and some one using Yelp and it really helped. The staff was more than welcoming and let me know what I qualified for and which classes I could take that would compliment my regular training in Cali. First and foremost this is an MMA oriented school, which doesn't mean it's bad it means be prepared to do wrestling, judo, Jiu Jitsu, boxing, Muay Thai, if it's a martial art they teach it here. In all honesty I'm mainly gi but they do have gi classes here too which helped my training. The coaching staff is real knowledgable and take the time to breakdown and teach each move and series to the best of their ability. Mind you that they have a structured curriculum and do quite of live if you're advanced and use to sparring. Don't worry if you're not they will see what level you're at and guide you which is pretty cool. I have visited many academies across the US so far in my short lived Bjj career and I really love FFA because they are so versatile and have high energy. Now I'm not a long term student of theirs I was simply a guest for a week in South Miami and they met all my training needs and provided me with excellent technique and conditioning. You should really try them out if you're in the area or live here locally see if they have a program that meets your needs. But then again this is just my experience and my opinion... Take it or leave it. read more

I've been at FFA for many years now. I absolutely love this gym and the people in it. I started with kickboxing classes just for fun and fitness. I discovered that I was pretty good at it, and decided to really focus on improving my technique. The instructors taught me so much, and my training partners have always been great. Thanks to the awesome training that I received, I went on to win the Women's National Golden Glove Championship in 2009. I had some additional fights, and then started to add grappling and wrestling to my training regimen. The coaches are skilled and experienced. They helped me to fight hard and fight smart! I even went to Cuba with them to train boxing a few years ago. They've had several trips as a group where they have traveled to a destination that's well-known for their fight style, such as Jiu-jitsu in Brazil and Muay Thai in Thailand. FFA is for people who are serious about learning MMA and sticking to a good program. You get a 30-day free trial to check it out before enrolling. They offer classes for adults and kids, and are open 24/7 if you want to train on your own after-hours. I've been at FFA for almost 10 years now, and I wouldn't go anywhere else to train. read more

I started here about 6 months ago and it is amazing! the classes pull you in everytime you go, you just want to go more and more until you find yourself going everyday whether your going for a workout or a class. I've honestly never been somewhere that makes you feel so welcome You real get a family fibe here, your trainers are real mma fighters that show you everything at the perfect pace because they want you to be the best of the best. My endurance, strength and confidence have been raised every week since day one. If your looking to shred weight, build confidence and have a blast at every moment this is the place. I would never go anywhere else at this point this place is top shelf, I feel like anywhere else would be a down grade in my haha FFA thank you!!! Shout out to the best coach Edgar!!! read more

This place has a very family oriented feel to it. The staff and students alike treat you like brethren. I came here knowing absolutely nothing about martial arts and the great thing is that it's perfectly ok. The programs are very well structured for both absolute beginners and those experienced in martial arts. The instructors here will guide you step by step personally to make sure you're doing everything correctly and are very detailed in explaining techniques and why things are done the way they are. I love this place! read more

Freestyle Fighting Academy - The Cage! - Kickboxing Near Me - Miami, Florida

It's been over decade since I trained with the amazing coaching staff of FFA, if I was financially stable, I would go back. The staff is amazing and encouraging. I try to avoid fights when I can, but thanks to FFA, I'm better equipped to protect myself. read more

FFA is an awesome gym to train at. I've been training at the gym for two weeks now and absolutely love it! The instructors are very well trained in all aspects of Martial Arts, we box, kick box, wrestle, and do jiu jitsu! I'm doing the 30 day free trial right now and they they treat you like a regular student. It's not like they put free trial guys in a special class. Another thing to add to the gym is that it's open 24 hours, I go in and train sometime at 11pm when I get off of work! I highly recommend this gym to anyone looking for a good work and learning self defense. go big or go home !!! read more

Might be a great gym - but lousy customer service. Pretty slick operators. If you are in fact looking for Miami Shooters Club - its located within. They do not disclose their rebooking fees and do not disclose that they are a business located within another business. Adrian was less than helpful and unfortunately is quite ignorant about good customer service. Again, the gym may be great. But this was my honest experience and I hope never to make the drive all the way down there for all the grief I suffered. read more

This place is fantastic. I've never seen a MMA gym open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Marcos really knows how to get the most out of you during a workout. The staff is super friendly and knowledgeable. If I lived in the area, this would be my gym of choice. read more

Words cannot describe how I feel about this place! I have been going to the bootcamp (which is all women) and I also take some classes at FFA for the last 5 years (had a baby in between) and my body has changed drastically. I went from wearing a size 16/18 to a 10. On top of the amazing fat burning workouts you get, you also get to meet amazing people that inspire you to do your best everyday! They are always pushing you and whenever you need them they are always there. The coaches are amazing! Always thinking of ways to challenge us! If you're looking for a place to get fit, maintain, lose weight or build muscle this is definitely the place to go to! read more

FFA is the place to go if your looking to get into MMA, they treat you like family here. The Instructors are awesome and super humble. I train with Coach Che at 6am and it's an excellent way to start your day. They have a ton of classes, which helps if you have a tight schedule. Honestly, best decision ever! Love the classes and look forward coming to them. read more

Excellent staff! Everyone is professional and helpful. Train with the best! See you there!

The Free Style Fighting Academy has been a true blessing to my child and our family. We have seen a huge transformation on my 6 year old boy in the short amount of time he has been part of this amazing academy. From all the instructors including coach Chelsey and coach Che, who teach life learning lessons, to the friendly front desk staff who are so helpful and professional. We are in love with this Academy and recommend it to everyone. We are raving fans and plan to be a part of this incredible Academy for years to come! read more

DO NOT JOIN!!!! I'm giving one star because I have to put something. Worst customer service I have ever experienced. I paid for 5 months as a deal to later found no out I was sick. I don't need the membership or wanted because I'm also moving to another state. They won't issue me a refund even though I'm providing proof of what I'm saying. Please think before joining this place. Once you sign that contract you are stuck. No wait getting out of that. Another gym that promise and then is not more than a kind of nice place with awful costumer service. I'll make sure that everyone knows this so no one has to go through this like me. read more

I read about this gym online and before walking in read that their "advanced/Cap" class had a 2 year contract.I was not interested in anything with that long of a contract and i specifically asked them about it before signing up.The employee looked at me like i was talking Chinese and told me they didn't have anything like that. Well 2 months in, i wanted to move into the "advanced/cap etc class" and the first thing they tell me is there's a 2 year contract, and that everyone in that class has that contract. Their beginner mma class were pretty underwhelming with only 2 sessions a week.However the instructors were pretty good themselves and most of them actually cared about you learning properly.But with 2 hours a week you wont be learning much, and with the price point they have, i'm sure there's a handful of better alternatives. I would definitely consider other places before this one as there are plenty of good places to train in Miami. read more

This is by far the best MMA gym in South Florida! I take their Krav Maga & Jiu Jitsu classes and have a lot of fun learning new techniques and training with the other students! read more

I love this gym! The staff is always nice and very helpful, the instructors all know the techniques perfectly and are great at getting the intensity in classes high. Whether you're coming here for self defense, competition or just to get in shape you'll find what you're looking for and more at FFA. read more

I'm normally not a morning person, but I have no problem waking up to train at FFA. I've been coming here for 7 months now to a 6:00am class and I see my progress both in skill and physical fitness. The instructors are very knowledgeable and have extensive experience teaching Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Muay Thai, Kick Boxing, and Traditional Boxing. The fitness classes are also great, where they show proper body mechanics in challenging circuit routines. But the best part is the staff and students that create an excellent training environment. Everyone here is very friendly and helpful towards each other. The staff motivates you to reach your own personal goals, and their positive attitude is emulated by the students. FAA is a great place whether you want to learn martial arts, get in shape, or compete. I would recommend everyone to come try it out! read more

Devin provided a great concealed weapons course and I highly recommend taking it.it was very informative, entertaining and fun

This gym will change your life. I highly recommend it.

i dig it. My favorite thing is the freedom to work with all the stuff they have. Class is good. Love the ring. I could see the establishment being better but i love it. read more

I joined about 3 years ago and I can honestly say it was the best decision I've ever made. If you want to learn mma, get in shape, or just become an overall stronger version of your self, this is the place to be. Coaches and staff are amazing, everyone in the gym is there to help. Thanks to them I'm having alot of success in my amateur mma run and will soon be going pro with confidence. You won't find another gym that really makes you feel like family. Give them a call, you won't regret it!! read more

I have been training here for a little under a year and I really feel like it is my happy place. The environment is always positive and everyone nice and helpful. read more
