Elite Force BJJ

Elite Force BJJ is led by Alexandre “Pulga” Pimentel, a multi-time world champion and seasoned competitor who also has professional MMA experience. Pulga directs every class, emphasizing technique and engagement with a teaching style that prioritizes learning through enjoyment. Founded by three owners who combined their experiences from other gyms, Elite Force was designed to keep the best training elements and avoid common pitfalls. The gym caps membership to keep class sizes manageable, ensuring students have plenty of space and attention during training. Training at Elite Force includes both traditional gi Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu classes and no-gi sessions, all taught by Pulga. The curriculum is structured to serve a wide range of ages and skill levels—from kids as young as five to adults well into their sixties. The academy also offers a ladies-only program, providing an environment tailored specifically for women. Open mat times are available for additional practice, and the schedule includes early morning, lunchtime, and evening classes to accommodate busy lifestyles. Located on Federal Highway in Lighthouse Point, the gym welcomes students from nearby communities like Deerfield Beach, Pompano Beach, and Boca Raton. Elite Force operates without long-term contracts, allowing members flexibility with month-to-month memberships that can be paused if needed. The gym also lends gis to new students until they acquire their own, making it easier to start training without upfront equipment costs. Accessibility is considered, with facilities that accommodate wheelchair users.
