The Ultimate in Martial Arts

Anybody here from miami go to either Gracie Barra or Freestyle fighting academy. Im moving soon to Florida and have narrowed it down to these 2 schools. I have an affinity for Gracie Barra but FFA seems really good. Can anyone give me their experiences and information about these academies?

I trained at Conan Silveira's academy a couple times. He's a very good teacher. He looks big, mean, and scary but is a super nice guy. Definitely try his place if it's still there.
That was a few years ago, don't know if he's teaching more freestyle/mma now.

From what I have heard the best school in Miami is Gracie Miami. www.graciemiami.com I have heard some good things about FFA but from what it seems like Gracie Miami is the best from what I have heard.
