Pure Life Martial Arts

BJJ is founded on the concept that a smaller, weaker person can successfully defend themselves against a bigger, stronger, heavier opponent. This is done by using technique, leverage, and most notably, taking the fight to the ground, and then applying [joint locks](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joint_lock) and [chokeholds](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chokehold) to defeat the opponent. BJJ training can be used for sport grappling tournaments and in self-defense situations. [Sparring](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sparring) (commonly referred to as "rolling" within the BJJ community) and [live](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aliveness_\(martial_arts\)) drilling play a major role in training and the practitioner's development. ​ BJJ is considered a martial art, a sport and a method for promoting physical fitness and building character. It is a way of life. ## TRAIN ALONGSIDE THE BEST We are a family oriented Martial Arts Academy where everyone is welcomed.

The school is led by one of the best-known practitioners in the world, Alexandre “Pulga” Pimentel. Pulga, as he is known, is also one of the best competitors in the sport having won almost every title over his career. He also competed professionally at MMA. Pulga leads all classes and has excellent teaching skills as well as the ability to create a fun environment for students. “People learn faster and deeper when they are having fun.” The gym is located on Federal Highway in Lighthouse Point but serve areas including; Deerfield Beach, Pompano Beach and Boca Raton. The total membership numbers are deliberately capped so that no class is too busy to have effective time with the coach and space to practice moves.

We cater to all age’s groups, genders, shapes and sizes, BJJ really is for everyone. Our oldest member is in. their 60’s and our youngest is 5. We also have a ladies only program.
