Renzo Gracie Jiu Jitsu Academy Naples

Renzo Gracie Jiu Jitsu Academy Naples was founded by Mark Cerrone, a fourth degree black belt under Renzo Gracie. After years of training and teaching, Professor Cerrone brought his experience and the Renzo Gracie lineage to Naples, building a school rooted in the traditions and technical approach of one of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu’s most respected families. The academy was created to share authentic jiu-jitsu and provide a space for both new and experienced students to learn under a veteran instructor. Classes at the academy cover traditional Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, no-gi grappling, and mixed martial arts. Instruction is hands-on and personal, with class sizes that allow for direct feedback and technical adjustments. The kids’ program introduces students to the art at a young age, focusing on movement, discipline, and confidence, while adult classes range from fundamentals to advanced techniques. The schedule also features wrestling, judo, Muay Thai, and boxing, reflecting a well-integrated approach for those interested in MMA or self-defense. Coach Cerrone is known for breaking down the science and strategy behind techniques, not just the moves themselves. The academy welcomes families, with many parents and children training together. The facility is wheelchair accessible and aims to provide a safe, encouraging space for everyone who steps on the mats. Whether focusing on competition, fitness, or personal growth, students train directly in the Renzo Gracie tradition under an experienced black belt instructor.
