History
Established in 2019.
Boca Jiu-Jitsu Academy was created with a simple purpose: to build a place where people could learn high-level Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu while feeling like they truly belonged. Founded by Coach Boca and Coach Alex, the academy grew from a passion for martial arts, family, and helping people become stronger both on and off the mats.
Over the years, Boca has grown into a close-knit community serving children, teens, and adults throughout Westchester and Miami. While the academy has grown, our philosophy has stayed the same: know our students, challenge them, support their progress, and create an environment where families feel at home.
Today, we continue to focus on quality instruction, character development, confidence, discipline, competition, and genuine connection with every student who walks through our doors.
