LIRA JIU JITSU

LIRA JIU JITSU is led by co-owners Maggie Grindatti Lira and Luccas Lira, both decorated Brazilian black belts and multiple-time world champions originally from Brazil. Maggie, a 2nd degree black belt, and Luccas, a 1st degree black belt, have built the academy in Miami around a philosophy of detailed, intentional instruction that challenges students to understand the “why” behind every technique. Their years of competition experience shape a teaching style focused on building confidence and technical precision across all levels, from beginners to serious competitors. The academy offers a structured schedule that balances traditional gi classes with modern no-gi training, emphasizing technical fundamentals, positional understanding, and live sparring. Adult classes are designed for all levels and run early mornings and evenings throughout the week. Kids’ programs focus on developing confidence, coordination, and discipline, with separate gi and no-gi classes tailored for younger students. Open mat sessions provide additional time for drilling and sparring, while special sparring and Q&A classes give students opportunities to refine their skills with personalized feedback. Located at 2076 NW 21st St in Miami, Lira Jiu Jitsu maintains a wheelchair-accessible facility and welcomes drop-ins. The coaching team’s commitment to purposeful, detail-oriented teaching is evident in every aspect of the academy’s programming, fostering steady improvement and long-term growth for students of all ages and ambitions.
