The master/owner Henrique runs it like a place to learn and collaborate socially, not just as a martial arts academy where hitting is the only thing that matters. Kids and Woman really enjoy the environment, while those intended to learn deep the jiu jitsu and martial arts skills can also benefit from a well know and skilled professional in the area. my only if is that they should have machines offering food and drinks around, even though they have plenty of water and coffee available.

His is a certified physical therapist as well as a personal trainer, and has corrected sports/lifestyle injuries including shoulder, wrist, and hip issues related to at-home injuries, long-haul plane rides, and a desk-bound job. He stays up-to-date on the literature and shifts work outs to newer findings. The gym is small and well maintained, and I love the outdoor space. If you are worried about staying healthy as you age, I cannot recommend Nathan enough!

Osu! If you are looking to get fit, learn self-defense, and get serious about full-contact karate,…read morethis is the place. Kyokushin is one of the best forms of self-defense as it incorporates the best of other forms of martial arts and includes very rigorous training along with discipline. If you're a wimp and don't like sweating, getting thrown around and getting bruised, don't sign up as this is not for you. I am considered to be kind of rough so I like it and don't mind the bruising. I wear my bruises with pride as a testimony of my effort. At Kyokuyama, you will quickly feel like family among the friendly students, as well as the instructor, Shihan Guzman. There is no arrogance here, only a desire to learn and help others improve while understanding that learning is a never-ending journey. Shihan Guzman is very polite and enjoys sharing many stories, either before or after class, as class is strictly for learning. Several of his children are at the school, and they are all as friendly as he is. It is very rare to find a Kyokushin dojo, but it is especially hard to find a place where everyone is friendly and treats you like a member of their family. You never have to feel awkward about training with the black belts or asking them for help, as they are more than happy to do so. They will even work with you after class if you need more preparation for your belt test. The good thing about this school is that you will practice your technique and fight (kumite) with people of all ages, ranks, genders, and sizes. The prices here are very competitive especially considering all the learning taking place, and the schedule is so ample (from morning to late in the evening, even on Saturdays) that it is hard to truly be unable to make it to class. There are both male and female students although I won't lie to you, there are only a handful of females, but if you think the men will treat you any differently from them just because you're female, think again. They are very respectful but they won't underestimate your strength or patronize you. Their goal is to push you and make you as strong as they are so that eventually, you will become immune to pain. I'm tired of always being treated like a dainty, delicate girl just because I am short and so feminine, so I welcome this change as I enjoy being treated like a true equal. The dojo also has classes for children as young as 5. Kyokuyama is truly a rare gem in Miami and I am truly glad to have become a member. You're welcome to stop by and check out our dojo. You can also try it out if you like. Ask Shihan Guzman for one trial session, free of charge.
