"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."
"Marcelo is an excellent teacher, especially for kids,other schools train kids at a slower pace while at Marcelo's kids competition class is like an advance class. Submissions that my kid wasn't even taught during 1 yr were being practiced from the first class. Amazing!!"
"Great place to train BJJ. Marcelo is very knowledgeable and motivating, always pushing his students to be better both on and off the mat. One of my favorite things about this gym is that it has a family-like environment, where we all learn from and encourage one another in a positive way. It is also a great environment for kids to learn BJJ. Marcelo finds ways to make training fun and educational for the kids! Overall, great place to train !"
"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"
