Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu for Key Biscayne, FL

Key Biscayne BJJ — Winners Jiu-Jitsu Academy in Sunny Isles Beach offers Key Biscayne residents kids and adult classes with a 2x World Champion head coach. About 30 minutes via Rickenbacker and I-95.

Key Biscayne is its own world — a quick causeway ride from Miami but far from most options on the Gold Coast. For Key Biscayne residents looking for champion-level BJJ, the drive to us is around 30 minutes. We have Key Biscayne families who do it weekly, and others who come for private lessons once or twice a month.

If you want instruction at the highest level — 2x World Cup Champion coaching, 20+ years of teaching experience, and a program that takes kids from age 3 through adult competition prep — we're worth the drive. But we won't oversell it: if weekly convenience matters more than coaching pedigree, a closer option may serve you better.
