100% would recommend!! Absolutely amazing experience!!! I was visiting Miami and asked to do a drop in. Professor Michael welcomed me with open arms. The entire class was professional and welcoming like I’d been a part of the gym for years. Amazing JiuJitsu instruction with competitive rolls executed in a safe manner. If you’re ever in the Miami area drop in for a great experience! Oss!!!

This Jiu Jitsu school is exceptional, with a fantastic Sensei leading the way. Michael is very professional and always following up with you and any concerns. Sensei Ace stands out for his remarkable professionalism and dedication. He consistently ensures that techniques are taught correctly, showing patience and commitment, regardless of how many repetitions it takes for students to master them. I highly recommend this school for anyone seeking high-quality instruction.

It would be extremely difficult to find a head instructor with more experience in the fight game than Michael Cardoso. He has competed at the highest levels in both BJJ and MMA, let alone being an experienced referee. He is humble, talented and most importantly, an excellent teacher that creates a great learning environment and team culture. I don’t train there anymore because I moved too far away, but if I were close by, I’d definitely train there. If you’re truly looking to start living a healthy BJJ lifestyle, look no further, you’ve found your guy.

Coach Cardoso has a unique way of teaching. From day one, you practice with black belts and everyone else. It's worth mentioning that everyone above you has been taught to teach you. They don't use all their knowledge and techniques to annihilate you, but rather to help you progress as you continue to practice. I learned much more than Jujitsu at Cardoso School, and I'm grateful for what I learned. Now, I live in Texas, but I can assure you that this Jujitsu school is one of a kind.

If you’re in Miami, this is the place to go. I visit Miami a lot and it was the first time I dropped in for some rolls during their Saturdays open mat hours. Everyone was very welcoming, kind & helpful. Even after open mat was over, we all discussed multiple techniques and Michael was kind enough to demonstrate and answer many different students questions. May I add is full of humbleness. I had a great time as a visitor.

I don’t wanna mess up the rating of the school for the behavior of one kid, but the overall experience at Cardozo has been tainted by their inability of dealing with a bully. My son, Alessandro and others always had problems with one kid Brayden. One time he sparred with my son and tightened his hand around my neck. Another time he got into a fight with another kid they had to be removed from the class and the drop that filled the vase was past Thursday when he lifted my son, and threw him on the floor. This bully has no place in society, and I fault Michael Cardozo, and Ace the teacher for allowing him to continue be like that other than that my son loved the school. The teachers are amazing and he learned a lot unfortunately because of this bully we will have to change the school so for any future parents beware of Brayden

Here she’s actually happy to go knowing she can work at her pace as a beginner. I did a class as well and I enjoyed it very much. I will be joining their classes in the near future.

I have been wanting to try Brazilian jiu jitsu for years. When I first came to the gym I attended the trial classes at this school and immediately fell in love with the sport. Cardoso Jiu Jitsu has high level training, instructors and has an environment that feels like family. The people here are nice, the environment is inviting. And you get out of training what you put into it. You can learn a lot about yourself here; you have to be willing to put your ego aside to truly learn to become the best version of yourself.

Joining Brazilian Jiu Jitsu has been one of the most exhilarating experiences I’ve had thus far, especially at Cardoso Jiu Jitsu. The Sensei at this gym (Michael Cardoso) is very knowledgeable at teaching the sport of Jiu Jitsu effectively, but also at safe pace where you won’t injure yourself. Aside from the Sensei, the people who train at this gym are also amazing. Can become competitive, but in a humble way where everyone looks out for each other to make sure we all stay safe as we train. I highly appreciate this due to the fact that I have a torn ACL. Even with a knee injury I am confident enough to come out and train at this gym. So whether you are looking to learn self defense, or start at a new Jiu Jitsu gym, this is the family you want to join at Cardoso Jiu Jitsu.

If you want to try something new in life, its definitely Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. I joined Cardoso Jiu Jitsu about a two weeks ago and am addicted to the sport. The atmosphere in this sport always feels respectful and welcoming. Especially in Cardoso's Gym where I participate in the Adult Classes Monday-Thursday & Saturday. The experience so far has been very humbling as you will find many skilled individuals each of which have shown nothing but camaraderie, respect, HUMBLENESS, & a good time. These experienced individuals will also show no ego, are always lending advice, an ear, or a hand. They care very good care of you and are well aware of what they're doing and will not hurt you. The level of skill doesn't matter as long as you bring in the desire to have fun in which ever way you please, and improve yourself in Jiu Jitsu. You aren't obliged or pressured to show up everyday. Whenever you feel comfortable to show up there's always a family waiting to welcome you back. And don't feel like you'll be the only new one in the gym if you've never done something like this, there's new people coming in every week or two. You will find plenty who have only been attending for about two weeks(my case), 1 month or 3 months; etc. It's easy to feel intimidated, but everyone who's done this has felt it before. There are adults of all ages, sizes, and any gender. Nobody feels excluded in the gym.

We checked out a lot of different martial arts before we were recommended to Extreme MMA and for us this was the obvious choice. The atmosphere is very family oriented and I love the attitude of everyone there. The focus is on the art and it's all about learning. I think when learning and appreciating the art are the main goal, you get a more authentic competitor, someone who truly understands it and can manueuver the moves effortlessly. The classes are great. I've seen places where after the class everyone is expected to leave. Here they don't rush you out the door. The sansei takes time after class to go over any moves that we need more help with. The others are very knowledgable and help out as well. Even the more advanced students help out the newer ones. Its such a great group of people, and a very comfortable place. My kids don't want to leave. The price is great too. Considerably more affordable than others we visited. We did the first month and then signed up for a longer period. Check out a class! You have nothing to lose.

10 stars!!! I have searched several mma gyms on my quest to fulfill a late in life "gotta do things", learning mma. Knowing nothing about mma, I had to rely on fate. I'm thankful that I chose Extreme MMA. It was one of the greatest experiences I have ever had. If you ever had inhibitions or the feeling of being intimidated like i did, forget them! Michael Cardosa (a well accomplished jiu jitsu fighter) is terrific at making you feel comfortable regardless of your ability, which I had none. I never stepped into a mma gym or played any sports. Late in life I had joked with myself, always wanting to do jiu jitsu? Because of my job schedule I made arrangements to take some private lessons. At first, I felt like I was learning Chinese arithmetic in a Greek language. Michael was like a hostage negotiator, calmly talking to me every step of the way while building my confidence. He taught me basic moves, techniques and strategies. After my lessons, Michael invited me to one of his classes on Saturday. I accepted and couldn't sleep, the night before. I felt like I was jumping into a lions den. Again, his great personality and calm demeanor prevailed. The students and other instructors made me feel welcome, like some extended family. My only regret was not doing this sooner in life! The true feeling is something within me that's unexplainable, now I'm hooked. This would have never been possible without Michael Cardosa and everyone at Extreme MMA! If you ever wanted to try mma, you owe it to yourself call Michael Cardosa.

Now if this sounds like something you'd be interested in, grappling and all.. Now remember that this is a grapling art and you will be training with people day 1. Which I think is really awesome because when a conflict does happen in life, then you won't be scared. After all you roll(our term for sparring) with people during the week you'll have that confidence, that swagger that let's people to know to be cautious because you can handle yourself.. I've been enrolled for 6 months and it has honestly been the best thing for me!

Extreme MMA is a wonderful facility. The Professor Mike Cardosa is an encyclopedia of Jiu Jitsu positions. He is a friendly, courteous and patient instructor. The students follow in their instructors footsteps and also provide a fun and friendly atmosphere. I enjoy training at Extreme MMA. I highly recommend it to anyone from begginers to the advanced students.

Extreme MMA is a very good place to learn BJJ and self defense. Main Instructor Mike Cardoso is a well seasoned veteran of ring and cage matches and is a well known BJJ wizard. He is also a judge and referee for NAGA tournaments worldwide in BJJ. The school is run like a large family as the other instructors and students are welcoming and friendly. In addition, Mr. Cardoso's wife teaches cardio kick boxing and is a very competent instructor. As a law enforcement officer, I would highly recommend Extreme MMA for your entire family.

Just got here from New Jersey and was looking for a decent sized gym with good instructors. I happened to find Extreme MMA close by my job and was quite impressed with the size of the gym as well as their trained instructors. This is the only place i look forward to going after work! If your looking to get in shape and learn some cool martial arts in the process come check this martial arts school out. They also offer kid's classes and women's kickboxing classes. If your looking to lose weight quickly i can tell you i've lost 40lbs in less than 4 months!

This gym is by far the worst in the miami/kendall area, owner is a novice at brazilian jiu jitsu and has a nasty attitude, avoid!
