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. Luanna Alzuguir and Ana Carolina Vieira are two women who are changing the game of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. Both Alzuguir and Vieira are arguably the most dominant female athletes in Jiu Jitsu history. Respected figures in the sport, Vieira and Alzuguir decided to create something unique for women, children and teenagers. The goal is to create a safe environment for people of all ages, body types and genders.

This dojo is very unique and is revolutionizing the Jiu Jitsu game for women! I have been apart of AVIV for a while and the love and support we receive from our Professors and team is like no other gym. Ana Carolina Vieira and Luanna Alzuguir have a love and passion for teaching. They take great pride in their team and it shows through their attention to detail and their teaching skills. They pass on their knowledge and wisdom in how to be champions without hesitation and support all of our competitions. I became pregnant during my Jiu Jitsu journey and it was because of these amazing women catering to my every training around my pregnancy and their love and support for me that has made me appreciate them even more, because of them I didn't give up and I continued my training while pregnant and I feel great! I can only hope that others find this gym to be their home just as well.
World class Jiu Jitsu! Aviv Jiu Jitsu is an anomaly, Luanna and Ana Carolina are two of the world's best athletes and now they have their own school which caters to everyone. They have a unique ability to help each of their athletes define their abilities and techniques personally. I could write an essay to say why you should train here but it’s best you come and see for yourself.

Best Jiu Jitsu academy ever! Teachers are patient and extremely talented. My teenage kids love training there.
I love to learn from different Brazilian Jiu Jitsu instructors when I travel - Professors Luanna and Ana Carolina provide the best instruction that I have found anywhere. I love the community they have built at AVIV - the classes are fun, challenging, and so educational! I live 2,500 miles away and they are so gracious that when I can't be there in person, they allow me to take classes via zoom. My BJJ is growing and evolving and I'm creating amazing friendships at the same time. I'm so thankful for this place and these people!
