I've been training at Atom Academy for over a year now, and it’s taken me a while to write this because it’s hard to put into words just how grateful I am for this place.
This academy has truly changed my life, and I couldn’t be happier that I found it. The REAL hidden gem of Miami.
Head coach Marco is incredibly patient, always willing to explain techniques as many times as needed while maintaining a high level of technical knowledge and expertise. The other coaches are equally outstanding—kind, friendly, and true experts in their field.
But what truly sets Atom Academy apart is the community. From the instructors to the students, everyone here is like family. They’ll push you to your limits because that’s how growth happens, but they’ll also support you every step of the way. The moment you step onto the mat, you become part of this amazing, supportive family.
I signed both my boys up at this studio, they are 4 and 7. I must say Coach Marco is the best and he has instilled a love for Jiu Jitsu in my boys! Especially for my oldest who for years hated this sport at many other locations until he came here! The environment is comfortable for parents to sit and watch and the kids, really ALL kids love it here. It's their little community and its lovely to watch. Coach Marco and all his other coaches in the studio are very patient with the children and therefore the kids feel very comfortable there. I can only recommend!
I was visiting Miami and decided to drop in for some training. Atom is a new and located inside Adapt fitness gym. It offers gi, no gi, kickboxing and mma. The owner and head coach, Marco, was super welcoming. He’s very technical and knows how to work with all levels. It was a very respectful environment, and I got some good training and rolls. I’d definitely recommend coming here to train.
As a bonus, it’s conveniently located in Adapt so you can lift and train martial arts at the same place.
I've known Marko since 2019, he's a very attentive and professional coach, and I was glad to come back and practice with him. Very friendly atmosphere. I recommend Atom .
Great martial arts gym with awesome coaches!
Always clean and good setup for BJJ, Kickboxing and MMA.
Great coaching and environment in classes; big thanks to Coaches Marco, Kyle, and Willy!!
Marco, the owner & head teacher, was extremely helpful, kind and welcoming. The space is inside the Adapt gym building and an Atom class membership also includes access to the Adapt gym & facilities which is an awesome set up!
The Atom martial arts space was very clean and well lit, the other students were friendly, and Marco taught a great Fundamentals BJJ class that was well structured. He explained techniques clearly and was helpful in answering questions. I also felt safe rolling/practicing after class and was happy that there were an other women in the class too! Excited to go back, highly recommend!
I started at ATOM Martial Arts since November 2022 without any martial arts background. It’s incredible to have found this school and see how far I have come in my journey. The atmosphere is fun and supportive! The instructors are not only highly professional and skilled but also genuinely passionate about teaching. The classes are well-structured, and they provide a perfect balance of challenge and encouragement. All the instructors from Marco to Kyle to Willie to Collin (when he was there) has helped me build confidence, discipline, and focus both inside and outside of class. I can’t recommend it enough for anyone looking to improve their fitness, mental toughness, and self-defense skills!
I take the Fight Fit class on Tuesday mornings and I’m having a lot of fun. Marco is a knowledgeable and patient teacher and with his help I am gaining the skills needed to defeat my girlfriend in battle. 5 stars!
Atom Martial Arts school is an good place to train, whether you're a beginner or an experienced practitioner. Marcos is a great teacher with deep knowledge, patient teaching style, and passion. The classes are well-structured, with a strong focus on technique, self-improvement, and camaraderie among students. If you're looking for high-quality instruction in a supportive community, this is the place to be!
If you’re looking to get into Bjj or Kickboxing then this is definitely a place that I recommend. When I first started I was nervous but the people here made me feel like family and gave me a reason to come back. Marco and his team are extremely skilled in what they do and they are great instructors. In conclusion, Atom Martial Arts is a fun and entertaining place to learn the wonderful world of Ju Jitsu and kickboxing and create a new family that will make you feel welcomed at all times.
I would give this academy 10 stars if I could. The vibe is one of support, community, respect and fun. My child is building self discipline and skills to protect himself if he’s ever in danger. Thank you Coach Marco for all you do with your teaching.
Our experience has been wonderful. My 5-year-old son loves coming to class. His behavior has improved also his eating habits have improved. I can only say Coach Marcos and Coach Orly are tolerant, patient, fun, a lot disciplined always respectful when they talk with each kid, never screams or disrespect no matter how hyperactive or distracted the kids are. Thank you Coach Marcos and his wife always nice and care all kids.
Nuestra experiencia ha sido maravillosa. A mi hijo de 5 años le encanta venir a clase. Su comportamiento ha mejorado y también sus hábitos alimenticios. Solo puedo decir que el coach Marcos y el coach Orly son tolerantes, pacientes, divertidos, muy disciplinados, siempre respetuosos cuando hablan con cada niño, nunca gritan ni faltan el respeto sin importar cuán hiperactivos o distraídos estén los niños. Gracias al coach Marcos y su esposa, siempre son amables y se preocupan por todos los niños.
Atom martial arts is a welcoming environment for all ages and levels of technique.
Marco is a teacher by trade and a jujitsu practitioner for over 15 years. His deep passion for the sport and his expertise in education creates a fun and effective learning environment. I have been training with Marco for over one year and have seen my technique vastly improve.
Additionally I train kickboxing with Willy, another one of the instructors at the gym.
I look forward to bringing my young daughter to the school when she is a bit older. Highly recommended to anyone who wants to begin or continue their martial arts journey.
Great environment. Coach goes far and beyond explaining the techniques. Gym some amenities included such as showers, sauna, weights, etc. Great sparring sessions after class.
The best place to bring your kids to learn Jiu-Jitsu!
Everyone is very friendly, and the environment feels like family!
Coach Marco is highly professional and teaches both adult and kids’ classes!
Atom Jiu-Jitsu is an incredible academy for all skill levels.Coach Marco and his team are highly skilled and patient, creating a welcoming and supportive environment for the kids. They focus on building confidence, discipline, and respect, while teaching valuable Jiu-Jitsu skills. We highly recommend Atom to anyone looking to learn a valuable martial art in a positive and motivating atmosphere. We feel so welcome and loved in this space! Thanks to both Coach Marco & Yasmari 💙
One of the best environments to train Jiu Jitsu whether its for competition or simply for the sake of healthy exercise!!
The facility lies on top of another training gym which is a huge plus (from weights to cold plunge). Everyone is super chill and have great patience in assisting you in imrpoving your game.
I highly recommend Atom BJJ, firstly it is amazing for little ones, coach Marco is fantastic with kids and they all seem to love it!
For adults it is also great, whether a beginner or experienced, the lessons are always different, you learn something every time a true martial art. Sparring is optional at the end of the lesson. I never felt intimated when I started out, I always felt welcome. Classes are mixed and all ages. I plan to keep going as much as possible! Give it a try!!
Best place in North Miami and surrounding areas to learn how to defend yourself, with the best vibe, clean academy, and the best instructors. I love this place. It's my second home (literally 😂). The kids program is the best in town

I took a Kick-Boxing class with Coach Kyle; It was my first time trying anything like this. Kyle was very helpful with showing the proper technique to not hurt myself or others. Atmosphere in the gym was GREAT! Marco was very inviting and gave me all the details on getting setup to take more classes. I cant wait to go back !
Marco was amazing, I learnt more in one hour with him about self defense than I ever have anywhere else. Talk about a passionate and kind person! Gets right to the point and he really paid attention to my level of abilities and tailored the class to that. This whole place is amazing it felt like coming to hang out at a friends place immediately offered me coffee as I was early and a place to chill on the couches.
Music was great. And although work out was intense it did not feel that way because it was so much fun. I must say this place deserves 6 stars.
Atom martial arts has become my safe haven. I LOVE my academy, I've been doing bjj for over 2 years and I am glad I transferred to this academy. Not only is professor Marco knowledgable in jiu-jitsu but he is a true professor. He is kind, gentle and a badass all in one. The students are all team players, they have had such a postive impact in my jiujitsu and have given me a place to belong and grow as an athlete and a person.
My son has been taking jiu jitsu classes with Marco and he has been the absolute best coach. Incredible knowledge and skill in a positive environment that makes the kids want to keep learning. As far as their business they are very accommodating and friendly, professional. I have started taking the adult classes of kickboxing and jiu jitsu and am loving it. Great culture for this mixed martial arts gym.
Such a great kickboxing class with Kyle! He took his time to explain everything step by step, correct my form and teach me new techniques. He was very patient, professional & friendly. The facility is very clean & I recommend this class for all levels
Took a kick boxing class with Kyle today and it was amazing! Learned some great techniques and Kyle was patient and stuck by us until we got each of it. Got a great workout in and really enjoyed the class.
Excellent class. It was my first kickboxing experience and I felt empowered as I learned use my own body for offensive and defensive moves from Coach Willy.
I recently attended Atom Martial Arts for their kickboxing class, and I must say it was an exceptional experience! The instructors were incredibly knowledgeable, the atmosphere was energizing, and the workout was intense yet enjoyable.
The class structure was well-planned, catering to all skill levels. The trainers provided personalized attention, ensuring everyone felt comfortable and motivated throughout the session.
I left feeling invigorated and excited about my progress. The positive and encouraging environment at Atom Martial Arts is truly commendable.
I'm definitely coming back for more and highly recommend their kickboxing class to anyone seeking an excellent workout coupled with expert guidance!
I joined the 7:30am class for kickboxing with Marco as an instructor. I had a great time! Great work out and amazing instruction from Marco. Will definitely be going again!!
My first experience with Atom Martial Arts and have not been disappointed! My kids take jiu jitsu with Coach Marco 2 times a week and find the consistent positive trainers, and participants who take class create a perfect environment. My kids love coming here. They provide a clean, friendly, and welcoming space. I love that they provide free gated parking, water and apples for the kids and most importantly the same group of quality coaches are there to personally get to know you and push you in the right way. It’s a challenging workout with happy people! I recommend to everyone. It truly is a gem!!!
My son and I have been training at ATOM about four months, and it has quickly evolved my grappling game. The secret is a clear concise program and effective drilling with both gi and no gi . The classes are very well researched, based upon extensive experience, and set in a format to learn through muscle memory. Classes consist of a primary technique, variations, both offensively and defensively, for applications in sport and self defense. It is both few and far between to find people who are as dedicated to teaching as Coach Marco.
If striking is your passion, they also offer Kickboxing, with Coach Kyle, and Muay Thai, with Coach Will, that builds conditioning, strength, and technique. Both Coaches are excellent strikers with real world competition experience.
The school is impeccably clean and well maintained. All classes also offer great playlists in the background while you train.
I am an older BJJ practitioner, staying healthy and injury free is a top priority. No egos on ATOM’s mats, all brothers and sisters helping one another. Coach Marco keeps things moving and well-paced, but you never feel exhausted. Rolls are always safe and you set the pace.
I am glad to have walked through ATOM’s doors and found a fun and safe place to train with lots of training partners of all levels and walks of life. Thank you to all my training partners. Congratulations to Coach Marco and Yasmary for making their dream a reality.
I have been very interested in no-gi jiu jitsu for a long time, and over the years tried getting into it at a few different schools in New York City and Miami. A lot of the classes I attended were not very conducive for first timers and beginners. Last year, a friend of mine (purple belt) told me about Marco (black belt) and Atom BJJ, and said it’s truly a school for all levels, especially for white belts. I gave it a shot, and my friend was 1000% right.
I have been training at Atom under Marco now for a year and a half, and have made incredible progress. I’m even competing next weekend in my first tournament! From the moment I walked in there, Atom felt like home, and Marco always made sure myself and the other white belts were always very comfortable. Marco is not just an incredible teacher, but an amazing person and friend.
Atom is very clean and well-maintained, and everyone in class is very nice and always pushing one another to improve. I highly recommend anyone who is looking to take up BJJ as a hobby or as a serious athletic pursuit to join Atom BJJ!
I've been training at ATOM for a few months now and from the first day I felt very welcome. The style of Jiu Jitsu taught is based on the Gracie method, with a lot of ne-waza, sport Jiu Jitsu and Self Defense. Even though I already had a good foundation in BJJ, I have felt that my jiu jitsu has evolved a lot in a short period of time. By being part of the team, I have the right to train other martial arts such as kick-boxing and muay-thai at no additional cost, so I am also evolving in other fighting styles. Do not over think to come and get a free class. Jiu jitsu will make a more confident person , awareness, and Don't think too much and come to an experimental class. You will not regret it. Martial Arts will give you confidence, motivation, and at ATOM you will feel like you are in the right place.
I've been attending Atom Martial Arts since October 2022 and it was the best decision I've made. I can't say enough good things about the head jiujitsu coach Marco and kickboxing coach Kyle. Both are very very talented and give great, detailed instruction. They make sure they give you enough personal attention so you actually learn and arent just going through the motions, and answer every question you've got. Gym is always clean.
The other members of the gym are great teammates aswell. The higher belts help guide you if you're having a tough time as a beginner, but also challenge you enough so you improve at a good pace.
And on top of all that, you get complementary use of the Adapt Gym! Huge Weight Training area, sauna, cold plunge, (great for after jiujitsu or on day off), and more.
I can't recommend Atom enough, go for a free trial class and see for yourselves.
I absolutely love training at Atom BJJ, for so many reasons. Firstly, the ADAPT facility that Atom resides in is WORLD CLASS. It is tremendous. The space for BJJ is superb - safe, tidy, clean and open. The mats are very well taken care of at all times. The Professor is a star, and the students are awesome...
I don't live in Miami, or even close to ADAPT when I visit, but it's always a privilege to cover the distance to make it to Atom. I was invited to train here by one of the students, and I always look forward to the opportunity - this is the kind of environment that makes learning BJJ super addictive...
Prof. Marco is a Mathematics teacher by profession, which means he is super generous with his knowledge, patient with process, and also very
effective in the means of transferring that knowledge and addressing
questions. I attended a couple of No-Gi classes, where we had lots
of time to go through the warm-up drills, techniques, sequences etc.
Each time I visit, I get to roll with Prof. Marco, and he gives me lots of
feedback, tips and guidance on how to tighten and improve my game.
Practicising BJJ at Atom is fun, relaxed, and most importantly for me, a SAFE SPACE - it's important to feel free to play and to explore while learning any martial art. I felt welcomed and respected, and learned greatly from the experience of being at Atom - and I enjoyed it thoroughly.
In summary, this is a great facility, a legit and high quality
location to learn BJJ (for adults or kids) with a great set of
athletes. I will make sure to revisit Atom whenever I can, and I think
you will say the same if you train there or once you've done so.
ps. They also have really good branded rash-guards. :-)
Amazing place to learn martial arts for all ages and levels. The coaches are very supportive, helpful, and are always on you’re side. The location also has an amazing gym downstairs which is awesome to get all of your training done in one place, very clean and generally great people😊
Definitely I recommend Atom Martial Arts! Great training academy for teenagers!! Coaches give a 100% in every class. The place is spotless, mat and kickboxing equipment are very clean.
Outstanding gym.
The coaches for both BJJ and striking are patient and really help break down anything you don't understand.
Also gives access to a sauna and ice bath which I abuse.
This place is awesome!!! Super nice people, everything is clean and fresh. I’ve tried few other gyms around but it’s the only one that made me come again and again 🙌
The kickboxing class was great - the instructors are very helpful, teach in both English and Spanish, and cater the workout based on experience level. I was 'the good sore' all over the next day - can't wait to go back!
Mind body and spirit all put to work in this amazing facility. MARCO & Colin are the core of this facility and will make you fit in no matter who you are. Welcome to the future of making the biggest change to yourself. Join the kickboxing or jiu jitsu to experience self growth & discipline. You won't regret it.
Excellent environment to learn self defense, the atmosphere for kids is amazing. Coach Marco is great with kids as well, this is the spot in Miami for Jiu Jitsu and much more !!!
Excellent coaches and environment! The coaches are very professional and friendly. I’m really comfortable working out here. The price is very fair too, highly recommended!
ATOM is fantastic. Beautiful facility with lots of mat space and comfortable waiting areas for those who aren't training. The coaches are very knowledgeable and love sharing their passion for martial arts with anyone willing to learn. The coaches are great with kids, and not only teach, but are able to get the kids interested in what their learning, while still keeping it fun.. Highly recommend.
Atom is an excellent academy where you can learn martial arts with professional instructors in a great work environment, for all ages. 100% recommended.
Excellent instruction for all levels. The instructor truly love their students. The program is wonderful. He keeps the class fun while the kids learn. Very highly recommended.
Happy to be apart of this academy!
It's a warm friendly environment that also helps cultivate your skills for self defense, Jiu-Jitsu, and Kickboxing! With the added bonus of there being a gym downstairs and having access to the open gym and some of the amenities as part of the academy membership (ADAPT trainers and ADAPT classes are a separate cost..) it really makes this spot a perfect hub for those looking to be active or stay active.
The facility is an athletic sports complex with a magical place called atom martial arts. The place has a very unique vibration to it, the instructors are extremely knowledgeable and the people that train there are friendly. If you ever want to reinvent yourself and become a better person from not only a health standpoint but also to becphysically fit and mentally strong you need to take the classes and be coached its cheaper then a therapist:). The people of atom will help you achieve your goals and do it with a smile.
