Personalized coaching and Group Classes to improve your skills.
MARCELO SILVA DO NASCIMENTO
My name is Marcelo Silva, and I am originally from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. I began my Jiu-Jitsu journey in 2000 as a young practitioner, and by 2013, I transitioned into teaching. Since then, I have dedicated myself to training athletes who have gone on to become champions at the state, national, and world levels in both Jiu-Jitsu and no-gi wrestling.
As a certified referee, I have completed courses with multiple federations and remain actively involved in the refereeing community. I was honored to receive the Best Referee of the Year award from the Brazilian Confederation of No-Gi Luta Livre in 2018, recognizing my commitment and expertise in the field.
Marcelo, our Black Belt practitioner, is committed to ensuring that our Academy offers the best group programs and personalized coaching. His expertise will help create an exceptional experience for all our members. With Marcelo’s guidance, you can look forward to a supportive environment that fosters growth and skill development. Join us and discover the difference!
“While my expertise lies in BJJ, my vision has always been to create a complete martial arts academy. By incorporating Muay Thai, we now offer our students a comprehensive curriculum covering both the best of grappling and striking. I am proud to lead this new chapter of our academy.”
