BJJ in North Miami Beach

North Miami Beach is a dense residential city in northeastern Miami-Dade, sitting east of I-95 near the Miami-Dade / Broward county line. Its 3 academies carry an unusually strong lineage profile for a city of its size. Valente Brothers Jiu-Jitsu — the original North Miami Beach location — teaches the traditional Helio Gracie "Gracie Jiu-Jitsu" curriculum under Pedro and Gui Valente, who trained directly with Helio Gracie. This is one of the few schools in the country actively preserving the original Gracie self-defense methodology at the source.

American Top Team Aventura / NMB brings the ATT ecosystem to the north edge of Miami-Dade, convenient for commuters crossing into Broward. Pantera Jiujitsu rounds out the roster as an independent. The city's position near Aventura Mall and the county line makes it a natural training option for residents split between Broward and Miami-Dade who prefer to avoid the Hallandale Beach Blvd or I-95 bridge commute.
