Early Gi Class
The 5:30 AM block: technique, drilling and rounds, done before Brickell's workday starts.
Brickell runs on long days and short evenings. KO Zone runs Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu at 5:30 AM and again at 7 PM, 15 minutes north on I-95, with free parking at the door. Real gi and no-gi training, not a condo-gym grappling class.
Brickell has boutique studios on every block, but very few places where you can actually roll with people at your level, every day of the week. KO Zone has been a serious Miami fight gym since 2005, and the BJJ room reflects that: beginners on day one, competitors prepping for IBJJF events, and MMA fighters sharpening their ground game, all on the same mats.
The schedule is the reason most Brickell members make the drive. The 5:30 AM block gets you trained, showered and back downtown before your first call. The 7 PM block lets you leave the office, beat the worst of the I-95 traffic heading north, and be rolling by the time the warm-up ends.
Parking is the other reason. There is no valet line, no garage ticket and no meter: free street parking on NW 54th Street, steps from the door. For anyone who has tried to park for a 6 PM class in Brickell, that alone is worth the 15 minutes.
