“My husband, myself and my 7 year old son were down in Naples visiting family and trained at Marcelo’s Naples gym. Professor Marcelo and his instructors were so welcoming and kind and taught great technique that we can’t wait to put into practice when we return to Canada. My husband has been coming to Marcelo’s gym year after year when we are in Naples and wouldn’t go anywhere else. Thank you Professor Marcelo. OSS!”

“Great Professor in Marcelo Pereira. Super knowledgable about Jiu-Jitsu. Fun atmosphere, Great Team, nothing bet great things to say. I have been training with Professor Pereira, beginning when I was a white belt years ago. My daughter started training at 5 years old and loves everyday she gets to go and work with Marcello and the other instructors and Juniors. One of the best things I have ever personally invested in is my BJJ journey and training with Marcelo Pereira and his team. I wish I had started training long before I actually started, it's why my little girl started at 5 years old. Highly recommended to everyone and anyone looking to start training or continue on their personal BJJ path and journey.”

“I have been training with Marcelo for roughly 2 years. My son also participates in the kids class. I am so impressed with the quality of learning we have both received in this academy. The entirely academy is super family-oriented and Marcelo is an absolute stellar professor. If you are looking for a high quality bjj academy, I highly encourage you to stop by this location.”
