TESTIMONIALS

Michelle Adams

Sensei Cardoso is one of the best and most dedicated in the whole Miami area. The culture at Cardoso is very friendly but at the same time disciplined. We come to train but at the same time to have a good time. I have become close friends with all of my classmates, and I enjoy training there.

Carlos Espinosa

One of the greatest gyms in South Florida, with one of the most experienced coaches that Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu has to offer, Sensei Mike Cardoso. Always an amazing experience there, and I definitely suggest this gym to anyone new to jiu-jitsu or already seasoned practitioners.

Nick Zamparello

If you really want to learn Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in a very positive environment then this is the place to be. The thing I like most is the style of education. In Mike’s gym it’s less about cramming moves and going to tournies and more about the journey and the self-discovery. So that’s what I mean about learning. Here you “really” learn how to grapple, how to scramble, how to move, how to submit, how to be a true sportsman.

Ken Delisi

It’s is the best martial arts school in the world, and I’m not exaggerating. My wife and I are so thankful that we put our children there. Mrs. Nadine and Sensei Mike Cardoso run a super professional top-notch organization. They are very family oriented. They stress discipline and respect, and it is evident they also have a great love for our children. Our Sensei, Mike, is super knowledgeable about Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. He eats, breathes, and dreams BJJ. I am beyond pleased with the skills and techniques my children have learned. Thank you for all you’ve done for Hannah and Kenny. We love u guys!
