Serving Indialantic
Brazilian Jiu Jitsufor Indialantic residents
Pure Life Martial Arts teaches Brazilian Jiu Jitsu in Indialantic, Florida under Professor Felipe “Balboa” Portela, a third degree black belt and veteran of the UFC's The Ultimate Fighter and Strikeforce.
Gi and no-gi classes cover the full curriculum: guard, passing, escapes, submissions and positional sparring, taught in a structured progression rather than a different technique every night.
Beginners train alongside experienced students from their first week. You do not need to be fit, flexible or experienced to start — those are results of training, not prerequisites for it.
Training in Indialantic
Pure Life is right here in Indialantic, on North Miramar Avenue (A1A) in the Indialantic Shopping Center. Indialantic is a small town, so for most of it the academy is a few minutes by car and an easy bike ride.
Being this close changes what's realistic. An early-morning class before work, or a kids class straight after school, doesn't need planning around a causeway or traffic on the mainland.
The times further down come straight from the class schedule.

Questions from Indialantic
- Where exactly is Pure Life in Indialantic?
- 800 N Miramar Ave, in the Indialantic Shopping Center on A1A. If you're coming over the Melbourne Causeway (US-192), you're already in town when you come off the bridge.
- Can my kids get there by bike?
- From much of Indialantic, yes; it's a small town. A1A is a busy road, though, so whether a child rides there alone is a call for each family.
- Do I need to arrive early for my first class?
- A few minutes early is plenty: time to sign the waiver (or sign it online beforehand) and get changed. Living in Indialantic, that's about all the planning it takes.
