What Our Students Say
Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.
Mason Stewart
"I've been training here a few times a week for about 2 years. Prof. Marco is a gifted teacher and martial artist. The students are welcoming, diverse, and kind. Everyone here takes their training really seriously, but we have a lot of fun and treat each other with respect. If you're even a little curious about BJJ, but worried it will be toxic or that you'll get roughed up, come try it out. This is a really great group of people."
Andrew Davinack
"Marco is a wonderful instructor. I'm not a member but I occasionally pop in to the community classes on Fridays. His classes are well structured, respectful and everyone rolls in a productive manner. It's rare to find a BJJ instructor that thoroughly breaks down a technique in terms of the both the technical and the philosophical aspects. It's also rare to find a school as inclusive as Marco's. It's probably the best place around for anyone wanting to dip their feet into jiu jitsu for the first time. Highly recommend."
Sebastiyan Trifonov
"Competing tomorrow so stopped by this gym to get some rolls for the Friday open mat. Would definitely recommend a lot of higher belts that can give you a decent roll but also very friendly and hospitable atmosphere. Got around 9-10 rolls and everybody was good but also respectful."
Kallie Jiang
"Was visiting town for the month, and I am so happy to have found a home away from home in Providence BJJ. The space is beautiful, clean, and inviting with locker rooms and showers. The other students are extremely friendly, considerate, and fun to train with! I have been able to train with people of all different levels here and there is no shortage of time after class to roll. Professor Marco is a truly great individual with a wealth of knowledge in BJJ, a passion for teaching, and a knack for uplifting everyone in the room. I am sad to be leaving, but would highly recommend Providence BJJ to anyone looking for great community and great jiujitsu!"
