Who We are at
Aviv Jiu Jitsu
Our School
In the male-dominated world of martial arts, the team at Aviv Jiu Jitsu is here to provide a unique and refreshing change of pace. As a woman and LGBTQ-owned business, we are proud to run a diverse BJJ school. You can leave any insecurities or preconceived notions at the door – all orientations and gender identities are encouraged and supported here. This is a safe space for all to train in martial arts.
Anyone who walks into our school will immediately feel welcomed and supported. We enter every self-defense, after-school, summer camp, and Jiu Jitsu class with a positive mindset that trickles down to our students. We are instilling skills for them to use in all aspects of life, such as discipline, confidence, and respect.
We believe that all our students are in “Aviv” (meaning “stage of blooming” in Hebrew) and that we can help them no matter where they are in life. No matter your circumstances, you can join our loving Boynton Beach Jiu Jitsu family and work toward being the best you can be!
History
AVIV Jiu Jitsu was founded in Boynton Beach, Florida in 2018 by Luanna Alzuguir and Ana Carolina Vieira. As a proud LGBTQ+ couple, we were thrilled to create a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu school built on respect, inclusion, and real community — a safe space where everyone is treated fairly, without cliques or toxicity.
Our curriculum has been thoughtfully adapted to support students of all backgrounds and experience levels. We place a strong emphasis on self-defense, especially for youth, helping students build not only technique, but also situational awareness, confidence, and a strong personal presence. Students can also enroll in our Self-Defense courses, focused on real-life scenarios and practical protection.
Although AVIV began as a dream, we opened our first physical academy in 2020. Six years later, we expanded into a newly upgraded facility in 2026 — built to support our growing community of kids, women, families, and athletes of all levels.
Today, AVIV proudly contributes to the Boynton Beach community and Palm Beach County by providing world-class Jiu Jitsu and self-defense in a positive, empowering environment where everyone belongs.

What Sets Us Apart
Aviv Jiu Jitsu is a school unlike any other. Everything, from our safe and welcoming culture to our world-renowned instructors make us a home for anyone looking to train. Whether you are bringing in your kids for development, looking to learn self-defense, or are looking for the best competitive training – we got you! Take a look at what makes us stand out as the best place for your Boynton Beach Jiu Jitsu training!
As a woman-owned and LGBTQ-owned martial arts school, Aviv embraces students of all backgrounds. We ensure that all our students are treated the exact same and know they are in a safe space that has their back.
There are few Jiu Jitsu school owners more experienced and accomplished than Ana Carolina Vieira and Luanna Alzuguir. They are the first couple to each be Brazilian Jiu Jitsu champions to open an academy without an affiliation. With multiple world titles and with Alzuguir as the only female Hall of Famer in Florida, there is no one who has the perspective these two possess.
Our self-defense isn’t like most Jiu Jitsu schools’ self-defense. We hyper-focus on providing real-life applicable training, with a self-defense only program for those not looking for Jiu Jitsu training. The skills learned here can prepare you for any situation.
A large portion of our kids, youth, after-school, and summer camp programs emphasize teaching life skills. The discipline, respect, maturity, and mindset they gain will help their progression on the mat, at home, and in the schoolroom. This is more of a school than a gym because this is a place of learning.
We are in constant communication with parents to make sure we understand how their child is doing, things they need to improve on, and any special circumstances they may have. We encourage you to keep us updated and provide constant feedback on how we can maximize your child’s experience at Aviv Jiu Jitsu.
Our school curriculum is constantly evolving and improving. We move through sequences to ensure students understand the why behind each move, technique, and skillset learned. The life skills combined with the best quality Jiu Jitsu and self-defense training make it an experience unlike that at any other school.
