Arise Martial Arts

So, as my many photos can attest. I like to train. I've been to many schools, and continue to visit friends at other schools. I'm not the best by far, I like to say I'm just really good at getting beat up, but I'm happy to report most of my partners say I'm good, good at getting smashed lol. I call Arise BJJ my home base. I was with a different school for years, but my job took me out of the country for a few years and I came back looking for a new BJJ home. My old school was still there, but as most of us know, if it's not convenient as far as distance to get there, price ranges, and a different feel for management, I had to look for a new school. I visited several, and stopped when I got to Arise. One of the main sell points for me was the blog Michelle posted on the website, go read it, she did a great job and it got me in the door. Professor Danny "Diesel" is a dad, and Michelle (Purple belt Co-owner) is a mom. I'm a dad, so they understand the needs of a family and Jiu jitsu is a family. They've really brought that feel of family and comraderie to this school. All levels, ages, and backgrounds walk though the door with a good attitude and the atmosphere here is always welcoming. BJJ has so many benefits, confidence, weight loss, stress management, just Google it and see for yourself. If you're on the fence, or even thinking about visiting, just come and see for yourself what Arise BJJ and the world of Jiu Jitsu has to offer you. See you on the mats readers, I look forward to getting smashed but always surviving 😉 Oh yes, forgot to mention, very clean, they do this foot cleaning thing you don't see at many places. They have two working bathrooms, good parking, and offer many different hours to train. They are very forgiving if you're trying to drop off your kids at school in the morning and make it to class late. Appreciate all you do guys!

Arise is not only my school but my family. The facility is modern, clean, the professor and coaches are welcoming and knowledgeable. You won't find a better academy here in SFL. They have classes for kids since 3 yrs old!

Best jiujitsu school in South Florida! If you want to develop your Gi or NoGi jiujitsu, this is the school to do it. Professor Diesel is a true Martial Artist who leads by example by constantly competing. They also have an amazing kids program as well.

The best jiu jitsu school in Miami!! Professor Daniel “Diesel” Fundora is amazing along with the coaches Michelle, Mika, and Kat!! The gym is family owned and operated. My son is 7 years old and began going amid the pandemic, the school has been a blessing. He’s been going to the gym for close to 2 years and he has learned many valuable lessons on the mat as well as off the mat. They not only teach jiu jitsu, they teach kids many other life lessons from respect to responsibility and self confidence. They offer the full package when it comes to child development and jiu jitsu training. If your looking for an all around well rounded jiu jitsu school where your child will get the attention needed to succeed in the competition world, or just want your child to practice jiu jitsu and help your child with any behavioral or discipline issues, this is the place for you. We love “Professor Diesel” and the whole Arise family. #AriseFamilia is the place you can trust and be sure loyalty, respect and proper morals are instilled on the daily. 🙏 “ARISE”

Clean mats, great instruction and amazing personal development! I am thoroughly impressed with how much this dojo has developed my children. Within a few weeks I notice they have more confidence, discipline and focus. Sensei Diesel, Coach Engels and Coach Chico not only teach them sound jiujitsu technique but take time to develop them on a personal level. Highly recommend Arise
