Adult Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu

Whether you’re brand new to Jiu-Jitsu or have years of experience, our adult program gives you the structure, focus, and support to grow. You will train fundamentals, develop timing, and apply the techniques taught in class under pressure in a controlled and respectful environment. This is more than just fitness. It’s about showing up, improving, and learning alongside a strong community.

Kid's and Teen Brailian Jiu-Jitsu

Our kids and teens class helps young students build confidence, discipline, and awareness, both on and off the mat. The classes are grouped by age (4 to 15), so students train at the right pace for their level. Through consistent drills, guidance, and rolling, they learn how to move well, think clearly under pressure, and support their teammates.

Team Marcelo Pereira is a super welcoming place with amazing coaches. They are very supportive of adults with no experience, and their fundamentals class really is perfect for beginners. The coaches are always very encouraging, and they also take safety seriously, making sure you and your partners stay safe whole rolling. It can be intimidating starting a new sport as an adult, especially as a female, but they foster such a supportive and welcoming environment that anyone will feel at ease and be able to make friends quickly!
