I've never trained with them. ATT headquarters is about an hours drive out of Miami. I'm sure he will find someplace there.

Hey I live here in Miami and I wouldn't really recommend the gracie academy. It's not that it's a bad school but there are just some other really good BJJ schools in South Florida.

Att is a good idea, but I would recommend you got to the ATT in Coconut Creek, if you want MMA training

If you are looking for pure BJJ, Then I would train at Pablo Popovitch's School of which he has two locations here. They have alot of great bjj guys that constiently do well in Major BJJ events

If you are looking for JKD training, then I would recommend Sifu Courtney White, he's a JKD instructor under Inosanto and a BJJ Brown Belt.

IF you want or need more ideas or just reviews from my personal experience living and training in miami for the last 6 years let me know.
