MCBJJ - Marcelo Cavalcanti Brazilian Jiu-JItsu

"I’ve been a student of Marcelo for a little over 4 months now and the knowledge I’ve been able to gather from his teachings has been incredible! Confidence and agility has excelled and the knowledge of Jiu-Jitsu grows. It’s been a pleasure getting to meet all the other students, no matter the belt or background the others have , everyone is open and welcoming to you. Just starting or continuing your Jui-jitsu journey this gym is the best place to be!"

"My son is now 7, he started at 4 1/2, we’ve been so pleased with Professor Marcelo’s teachings. Very devoted, doesn’t charge for belts like most studios not just Jiujitsu. Professor comes in every day and I see the fire still, teaching the kids. He has an advance class for the kids which are for kids good enough to go to competition, he does not charge any extra for this either, an extra 3 days a week, so my son goes in 6 days a week. Always on kids about diet, practice, total devotion to his students including adults by what I’ve seen. The classes are small, so you’re getting almost a one on one training. Best way is to come in and try a class or 2 for free or just come and watch a session"

"While searching for Jiu Jitsu Gyms throughout the Southbay, I noticed many seemed more interested in profiting off its customers rather than teaching the Art out of love to the future generations. While searching and constantly getting a sales pitch to join a Gym I decided to call Marcelo. Marcelo responded quickly and told me come on by the same day or next to have a weeks worth of free classes and if I was satisfied we can move on from there. While this is for my son (4 years old), Marcelo was patient in teaching him, showing him the ropes and giving him the necessary information for him to learn correctly. After a week my son loved it, I myself found it impressive how Marcelo managed to teach a 4 year old BJJ and so I paid for 3 months of classes for my son. It doesn’t stop there, after his 3 months were up, we extended it once again and I decided to join myself and learn the Art of BJJ. If you have any questions stop by the academy and chat with Marcelo he is very welcoming, he is wealth of knowledge in regards to Jiu Jitsu and you can definitely tell he loves his students and the Art."

"This is a long overdue review. Prof. Marcelo is an incredible coach, and MCBJJ is an excellent place to train at all levels. I’ve been coming here for over three years, and the atmosphere is highly suitable for learning jiu-jitsu from its roots. You must try a class! And if you join, you will be in shape in no time, will learn self-defense, and competitive technical skills if that's what you want to focus."
