Training at MCBJJ is structured around both gi and no-gi classes, with fundamentals and advanced levels available to support steady progression.

The kids’ program includes gi and no-gi classes designed to build confidence and teach effective grappling and self-defense techniques appropriate for younger practitioners. Women’s only classes and a six-week challenge program provide focused training options that cater to specific needs and goals within the academy’s curriculum. The academy’s facility at 265 US-1 is wheelchair accessible, reflecting an inclusive approach to training. Marcelo and his team prioritize a supportive environment where students learn leverage, control, and practical striking alongside Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu fundamentals. The instruction aims to make martial arts accessible and effective, working with each individual’s size and ability while fostering resilience and awareness. This practical, hands-on methodology has been the foundation of MCBJJ’s ongoing presence in Tequesta’s martial arts scene.
