Marcelo Pereira Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu

“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!”

“Marcelo Pereira BJJ is an amazing place to train! The team and staff are incredibly welcoming, and the environment feels like a second family. There are so many skilled people to learn from, making every class a great opportunity to grow. Professor Marcelo genuinely cares—he makes an effort to ask how my family is doing and takes the time to listen when I need to talk. The support and camaraderie here are unmatched. Highly recommend!”

“Stopped by the Naples gym while visiting family. My son and I took a class together. Everyone was great; very welcoming. Plenty of people. Good mix of upper and lower belts. Everyone was technical and safe. 10/10, would go again next time I'm in town.”

I highly recommend looking up his credentials. He has a gym in Naples AND Fort Myers. The adults class is great and his kids classes are outstanding as well.”
