Vital Brothers Brazilian Jiu Jitsu

Vital Brothers Brazilian Jiu Jitsu in North Miami is led by Professor Renan Vital, a fourth-degree black belt in both Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Judo, and a U.S. Army veteran. Alongside him is Coach Priscylla Vital, a brown belt who began her training as a teenager in Rio de Janeiro before moving to the United States, where she deepened her involvement in the sport both on the mats and as a staff coordinator for major tournaments like IBJJF and SJJIF. Together, Renan and Priscylla founded the academy to share their passion for self-defense and to help build a stronger, safer local community through martial arts. The academy’s programs are structured to serve students from the youngest beginners to adults, with classes divided by age and level. Children as young as five start in the Little Rhinos group, while older kids and teens can join Youth BJJ or Teens BJJ, including advanced options for dedicated youth practitioners. Adults begin at age sixteen, with all-levels gi classes that focus on practical self-defense and sport fundamentals. The schedule runs Monday through Thursday evenings, with private lessons available by appointment on Fridays, offering flexibility for families and working adults. Vital Brothers emphasizes the role of Jiu-Jitsu in uniting people and developing self-confidence through purposeful training. The academy is wheelchair accessible and maintains an open-door policy for drop-ins, reflecting the founders’ commitment to making Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu accessible to anyone interested in learning, regardless of background or experience.
