"My son has been training with Marcio for 8 years now and I can not praise him and the jiu jitsu family he has created enough. My son was 8 when he started snd is now 16 so we have gone through kids, teens and now adult classes and it does not matter where you are the training and personal attention to help your child be a better athlete is second to none. The family atmosphere he has created really makes you feel welcome from day one. My son went from a shy child to a confident and humble teenager. Everyone treats my son as if he was their own. Thank you Excel/Boston Fight Sports for all you do. One team one dream."

"*** ATTENTION PARENTS!!! *** My experience is based on the group class of 5-8 year olds. If you want your child in a positive atmosphere where they can learn and challenge themselves with new experiences while encapsulating life long lessons, Marcio Silva at Xcel Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is the person to see. Marcio, along with his great staff of coaches, will provide the best experience for you and your child. Everyone is inclusive and inviting with a positive and encouraging attitude. Xcel is a top level A+ rated gym that will leave you feeling complete and comfortable with your decision to join. You will not be disappointed."
William Trial
"Xcel BJJ/Fight Sports is a great place to train at. I have known Marcio for over a decade and he has done a fantastic job with his developing his students. The medals that him and his team earned speak for themselves. This is a top notch place to train BJJ and I highly recommend it for anyone who lives in the area. Easy 5/5!"
Eric Dorsched
"I have been a part of the Xcel family since the beginning. Best way to describe Xcel is Professional, from the coaching staff down to the athletes. Although I haven't been able to be there as much as I use to be its awesome to see how much everybody improves as athletes. Xcel is not only a great place to learn Jiu Jitsu but its a great place to develop friendships. If you want the best get to Xcel you wont be disappointed."
