McHugh Brazilian Jiu Jitsu

McHugh Brazilian Jiu Jitsu in Marlton is led by owner and professor Peter McHugh, whose martial arts background started at age six. Before concentrating on BJJ, McHugh earned a second-degree Tae Kwon Do black belt, won three state championships and became a two-time junior Olympic world champion. He later spent more than six years as a full-time instructor at Ricardo Almeida BJJ headquarters before building his own academy. The coaching team includes black belt Tony Lascola, while the current program spans gi and no-gi jiu jitsu, fundamentals, kids training, MMA, Muay Thai, boxing and open mat. McHugh’s years working inside a large established academy are particularly relevant to the youth program; his biography notes that he helped build one of the country’s largest kids jiu jitsu programs before opening his own school. For families and adult grapplers around Marlton, Cherry Hill and Moorestown, McHugh BJJ is especially compelling if teaching experience matters as much as competition credentials. The academy is centered on an instructor who spent years developing students full time before putting his own name on the door.
