LEARN THE SPORT
WHAT IS JIU JITSU?
Jiu-Jitsu is a grappling-based martial art where kids learn to control an opponent using technique, positioning, takedowns, and submissions rather than punches or kicks. Classes combine instruction, partner drills, games, and live rolling to help kids put their skills into practice.
At Pura Vida, kids train both Gi and No-Gi Jiu-Jitsu, giving them experience with two different styles of the sport.
WHAT PARENTS ARE SAYING
Alexa Young, Product Manager
"Pura Vida has been the perfect place for our family to train, grow, and support one another. It’s truly inspiring to watch each other’s skills develop and confidence grow. More than just a gym, Pura Vida is a family within its walls, built on encouragement, respect, and a shared passion for martial arts."
BEYOND THE GYM
TOURNAMENTS & COMPETITION
For kids interested in competing, Pura Vida offers opportunities to experience martial arts outside the gym through Jiu-Jitsu tournaments and Kids Pankration. Competitions are available throughout Wisconsin, with many events right here in the Greater Milwaukee area and opportunities to travel across the state.
