Details: Vida Jiu-Jitsu is a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu gym located in Mandeville, Louisiana. We have a team of the best instructors in the area to ensure our students receive a well-rounded curriculum incorporating different styles and methods unique to each instructor’s background and skill set. We offer adult, children’s, and women only classes. We are supported and have a close relationship with our local teammates out of Raposo BJJ in Slidell, LA; Olympic BJJ in Sulphur, LA; and Gulf Coast Jiu-Jitsu in Biloxi, MS. We also regularly run Guns & Gis, our firearms/BJJ 3-day immersion camp experience. Vida Jiu-Jitsu means jiu-jitsu life in Portuguese. We believe in jiu-jitsu as not just a self defense art, but a way of life. You will build your second family here.

Kids Program Detail: Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is the best anti-bullying training a child can receive. More than any other martial arts discipline, BJJ teaches practical, effective, real-world self-defense techniques. Instead of punching and kicking, Jiu-Jitsu focuses on takedown skills, ground fighting, grappling, pressure, chokes, and escape techniques, teaching students to defend themselves against opponents of greater size and strength. Vida offers classes for kids ages 4-6 and kids ages 7-13 (kids 14+ can train in the adult classes). Kids classes are held on weekday evenings and Saturdays. While we ask a basic level of respect and effort in the gym, our approach is to allow kids to be kids while learning and having fun. Our goals are to empower your child and instill confidence and self-control. Inherent in the philosophy and practice of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu are the characteristics of persistence and resilience, stressing the importance of attendance and maintaining a positive attitude in the face of adversity.

Woman Only Program Detail: Aside from all classes offered in the Adults BJJ Program, which women can always attend, Vida also offers ladies only classes designed specifically to introduce women to the art of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. The Vida Women’s Program combines a comprehensive self-defense curriculum with emphasis on drills that simulate realistic attack and escape situations. The classes also allow women to get comfortable with the basics before moving on to the co-ed classes. As a martial art designed to allow the weaker to defeat the stronger, BJJ is a perfect fit for women who are interested in learning how to protect themselves. The techniques are complemented by a strong fitness component that is second to none compared to classes offered in regular gyms.
