My husband and I trained at Marcelo’s when visiting Ft Myers. We were so impressed with the professionalism and hospitality of Marcelo and the entire team. If we ever land in Fort Myers, we will be back! Highly recommend!

As a new student of BJJ I wanted to share my experience for those trying to find a new school, or if youre starting a martial arts or BJJ for the first time. For background I have attended schools for JKD, WCKF, & have minor TKD exposure. I have attended Mareclo's school for 26 classes thus far. I'm going to try to review each aspect of the school that I think is important in any MA discapline. Keep in mind any school, of any discipline has their own teaching style and culture. Not every school is for every body, but I highly reccomend you give this school a try regardless if you're looking for a quality BJJ education. (You can try class free of charge before joining also.) Marcelo: In terms of teaching Martial Arts, Marcelo is the type of teacher found less and less many places you go. He actuallt teaches the classes himself. He doesnt just pop in to say a few things at the start of class, then go to an office to do business work and show up again at the end to close. He is always present and supervising. He gives his coaches the opportunity to teach, and closely supervises to ensure accuracy and quality. He jumps in to show students lessons he thinks are essential during classes, and if you ask him a question personally he will not only explain the practicality or inpracticality of something, but will physically demonstrate also. He walks the mats during practice to supervise the technique of students to make sure you actually learn properly. He is also a Brazillian, teaching Brazillian Ju-Jitsu. That should speak enough for itself. In terms of the school: You start day one being given the opportunnity to roll on the mats if you want. His students were kind, friendly, and welcoming to me. It made the whole experience less intimidating, and after 3 classes I was able to shake the first day at camp feeling and felt part of the family. His coaches are knowledgable, patient, and passionate and just as eager to help you as Marcelo. This school has a good educational culture. It isn't toxic, there are no egos, and higher belts act with restraint and integrity. No one is here to hurt you, or get hurt for that matter. Class Schedule: I am very happy with this. I have been part of martial art schools that only have 2 classes a week, yet expect you to learn. This school has two locations and between both of them you can practice and learn Gi or Nogi 5 days out of the week. Saturdays are open mat at the Fort Myers location and he does morning classes throughout the week both in Naples and in Fort Myers for people who might work nights. All in all I highly reccomend this school in general as a Martial Arts Academy, let alone BJJ as a discipline.
