Teresa Vargas
"Top-notch juijitsu academy! I am continuously impressed by the dedication of the coaches. They are committed to helping each athlete work toward their goals. Everyone is so welcoming; we have established great relationships, on and off the mats. This gym is also kept immaculately clean. Whether you’re an adult, teen, or young child, it’s a great gym to be a part of."
Kristin T
"Marcio Andre Jiu Jitsu Academy is outstanding! The gym is very clean, friendly and motivating. The technique instruction and coaching are first class. As a newer student to jiu jitsu I have always felt comfortable and welcome here. I started training jiu jitsu at 56 years old and my only regret is not starting jiu jitsu 40 years ago! I strongly recommend Marcio Andre Jiu Jitsu Academy."
Paul schmidt
"I am highly impressed with this academy. Having spent over 25 years at various martial arts academies, I can attest that this one is exceptional. Jiu-jitsu is essential for those considering self-defense. This academy offers classes for children as young as four, as well as for adults of all ages. Whether you are a newcomer or aspire to be a world champion, this is the place for you. Several world champions train here, providing an excellent opportunity to learn from dedicated and skilled instructors. The academy is conveniently located right off the freeway and Ray Road. There is a reason why both international athletes and residents choose this academy. I recommend visiting and observing a class, whether it be for kids, adults, beginners, or advanced practitioners. You will undoubtedly be impressed. The academy welcomes both females and males; my daughter trains here and loves it! The Academy has a bright, open feeling and is wonderful. They also have a summer camp coming up for kids. Check it out – you will be happy you did."
Dave Cartusciello
"Been a member here going on 3 years. Marcio is a great coach. He can break down any move and walk you thru it so it’s easily understandable. The gym have a great vibe in that it’s competitive but not overwhelming. Everyone is there to help everyone else get better. Both my sons go and they aren’t always the best listeners. All the coaches have great patience with them. All the coaches are great examples for them and good role models."
