Choosing Art In Motion Jiu Jitsu Academy’s Summer Camp means giving your child a structured, active, and growth-focused summer led by experienced instructors. It is a place where kids stay engaged, build real skills, and develop confidence in a safe and supportive environment.
Skipping our camp means missing out on the chance for your child to engage in structured, meaningful activities that promote personal growth and learning.
Without access to our skilled instructors, children lose the opportunity for professional guidance that could ignite a passion for martial arts and self-improvement.
Without a stimulating environment like ours, children might spend their summer lacking engagement, leading to boredom and excessive screen time.
Not being part of our camp could mean fewer opportunities for your child to make new friends and build the social skills that come from being in a supportive group setting.
Foregoing a structured camp environment might leave parents worrying about their child’s safety and the quality of supervision they’re receiving elsewhere.
Our camp blends martial arts, teamwork, and problem-solving activities to create a summer that is engaging, varied, and development-focused.
Children train under experienced instructors who provide structured coaching, mentorship, and consistent support throughout the program.

Train, Move, And Grow All Summer Long
At Art In Motion Jiu Jitsu Academy, summer camp replaces screen time with structured martial arts training and physical development. Students are introduced to core disciplines including Gi and NoGi training, building coordination, control, and foundational technique through consistent practice.
Training sessions focus on repetition, movement quality, and skill development in a supportive environment where students build discipline and confidence at their own pace. Each class is structured to help children stay active, focused, and engaged throughout the day.
Build Confidence Through Boxing And Kickboxing
Boxing and Kickboxing sessions introduce students to striking fundamentals including stance, timing, coordination, and controlled movement. These classes help improve focus, fitness, and self-confidence through structured pad work and partner drills.
Students progress through guided instruction that emphasizes discipline, respect, and technique over intensity. Each session is designed to develop real striking skills while keeping training safe, engaging, and beginner-friendly.
Grow Through NoGi And Women’s Gi Training
NoGi training develops agility, balance, and body control through dynamic movement and grappling-based instruction. Students learn how to adapt, react, and improve problem-solving under controlled resistance.
Women’s Gi training provides a structured environment focused on technique development, confidence building, and skill progression. Both pathways emphasize steady improvement through repetition, coaching, and progressive skill layering.
Competition Training, Open Mat, And Wrestling Development
Students gain real training experience through Kids Competition Training, where they learn focus, performance skills, and controlled sparring fundamentals in a structured environment.
Adults Open Mat provides an opportunity for guided free training where students can refine techniques and apply what they have learned in class. Adults plus Kids Wrestling Rumble builds confidence, timing, and adaptability through live drills and partner-based wrestling exchanges.

MEMBER REVIEWS OF Art In Motion Jiu Jitsu Academy
Dive into the real stories! Check out genuine reviews from our martial arts family and see for yourself the difference we're making in lives every day. Don't just take our word for it!
5 stars all the way! 🌟 Our 9 year old son Ethan absolutely LOVES it here, and his confidence, work ethic, dedication, and manners have never been better.
The instruction is amazing and it’s apparent all of the coaches love what they do and care about helping their students achieve their goals. Top notch all the way!
I highly recommend Art in Motion, and will continue to do so! 🌟🥋 👏
I can never explain in words how this place made me felt. So I'm going to take my time to make my statement about this place. This has got to be the best Martial Arts gym I ever went to period. We treat each other like family and good friends. Everybody has a great character and personality and they want to train as hard as you do. And the atmosphere/environment is great. They can be strict, but that's the whole point of true discipline that other martial arts gyms lack, but despite them being like drill sergeants, they still care a lot about everyone in the gym and still have heart. The workouts are great, it really gets your heart moving and it gives you the struggle you need to have a great and challenging workout. My high school, MLMP recommended me this gym and they recommended the Coaches to accept me without tryouts needed and they immediately accepted me. Even though I've missed most days, I'm lucky I haven't got kicked out lol. But even then, I would deeply regret myself not going here, because going here has been a thrilling experience. Keep in mind, the workouts are very hard, you'll want to quit, but the moment you quit, you'll start to regret not coming here. This gym isn't for everyone, this gym is for others who thrive on seeking progress and improvement, and they'll push you to become the best person you can be in physical standards, mentally and through character. If you wanted to join the United States Military, but scared of Hell Week, I would suggest go here instead lol. Plus, this isn't your ordinary martial arts gym, this is a whole facility built to mold you to become a great fighter. After going to a mcdojo once in the past, this is nowhere near a mcdojo, this is an actual genuine place. Out of every Martial Arts gym I went to or ever will go to, I would recommend this martial arts gym out of all of them. This place is built around genuine efficiency when it comes to learning JiuJitsu, Kickboxing, and Wrestling. AIM FOR GREATNESS!
Fantastic gym. Great students with a world class professor. Highly recommend!
Hands down best jiujitsu gym in Miami. Me and my two boys train here and this place is a Brazilian jiujitsu facility that creates confidence, skilled athletes in this sport that will carry on with us for the rest of our lives.
My family was visiting Miami for spring break and I decided to stop in and check out the academy. The facility is big with plenty of mat space as well as a dedicated gym and an Acai bar. Everyone is super friendly and the classes are run well by top notch instructors. You will not be disappointed if you want to train here or are looking for a spot to drop in on and train if you are visiting.
Excellent academy for Jiu-Jitsu, kickboxing, and wrestling located in Pinecrest. We've been here since 2021, and it feels like a family... The instructors are great with the kids and have adult programs that fit perfectly with their schedules... 100% recommended.

My son and I have been members since 2016. The atmosphere is one of family and respect. They also have a Açaí bar with smoothies and bowls which are delicious. I love AIM. This is the way.
Art In Motion has become more than a jujitsu gym for our family, to us it represent a second home. The coaches are knowledgeable and care about teaching our kids great quality Jiu Jitsu/wrestling as well as helping them become well rounded adults.
I would recommend this gym to any parents or adult interested in embarking on the journey to becoming a black belt or just a place to get a great workout and surround yourself with positive people and energy.
I’ve been training at art in motion for over half a year now and can truly say it’s my second home. I felt so welcomed by the team when I first started, and they quickly became family. All the coaches strive to make us better every day, not just in jiu-jitsu, but also talk a lot about how to grow and become a better person through the process of learning martial arts. I’m incredibly grateful to be a part of the team!
My son has been training Brazilian jiu Jitsu at Art in Motion for over a year now and I can’t say enough good things about this gym. He is now training wrestling and kickboxing there as well. From the moment I walked in with my family, I felt welcomed by both the coaches and the members. The atmosphere is incredibly supportive and everyone is here to help each other improve. A true team!
The coaches are top notch with a lot of knowledge and experience and very welcoming. So much so, I enrolled myself and my 2 daughters in the kids program.
The coaches break down high level techniques in a way that’s easy to understand, even for beginners like myself.
I couldn’t have picked a better mma family to trust my kids with. I have actively recommended this gym to my friends and family and have had a handful of friends of mine enroll themselves and/or their kids and constantly thank me for the recommendation.
AIM FOR GREATNESS
As a long time practitioner of all forms of grappling and a dad, finding the right martial arts academy for my kids was crucial. I wanted a place that not only taught effective self-defense but also fostered discipline, respect, and a healthy lifestyle. After exploring countless gyms in Miami, Pinecrest, Palmetto Bay, and Kendall, I discovered Art in Motion Jiu-Jitsu Academy.
This place is a gem! They offer a comprehensive program that blends the intricacies of Jiu-Jitsu with the power of wrestling and the explosiveness of kickboxing. It's a perfect mix for building well-rounded fighters. I've seen firsthand how the training has boosted my kids' confidence and physical fitness.
Beyond the martial arts, the gym's emphasis on exercise and a healthy lifestyle is commendable. It's more than just a place to learn self-defense; it's a community that supports overall well-being. My kids look forward to their classes and have made great friends.
If you're a parent seeking a top-notch martial arts academy for your child in the Miami area, I wholeheartedly recommend Art in Motion Jiu-Jitsu Academy. It's an investment in your child's future.
