Learning jiu-jitsu in Miami

Miami is the guide's second US-depth city, and its map carries a lesson: the names say Miami, the addresses split across a county line. Miami-Dade holds the metro's oldest Gracie house — Valente Brothers, «founded in 1993» by its own account, with a dedicated free-class page: «Try a Free Jiu-Jitsu Class in Miami» — beside Hialeah's MMA Masters and its printed BJJ grid, and American Top Team's Aventura/NMB door with «Book a free trial class.» North of the line, the Broward belt holds 10th Planet's Miramar room (a free trial through the form) and the American Top Team world headquarters, recorded honestly: the pro-team surface prints no beginner path, so the record carries the address and the phone and nothing invented. Free is this metro's register — three of the four full rooms open with a free class. No rankings — verified facts per academy and the evidence behind every claim.
