We have a place for you here.
Whether you’re a parent, a beginner, or someone returning to the mat, our classes are here to help you grow. We teach with structure and patience. Our team meets people where they are and helps them take the next step.
Built on discipline and consistency, training here is about showing up, putting in the work, and making steady progress.
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.
Designed for students who want to train with intensity and purpose. Sessions focus on situational drills, conditioning, and hard rounds that simulate tournament pressure. Coaches provide direct feedback to help sharpen timing, strategy, and mental focus.
Offering a welcoming place to train, learn, and grow with others who are looking for the same. Whether you’re new to martial arts or returning to movement, the training meets you where you are. We focus on technique, comfort, and building confidence one step at a time.
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.
Focusing on strength, mobility, and conditioning in a small group setting, we have designed this class to support progress and consistency, no matter your current level. You don’t need to be in shape to start, you just show up and we’ll move forward together.

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!
My son has been training at this BJJ academy and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. The coaches are professional, they truly care about the kids. I highly recommend Marcelo Pereira Jiu Jitsu 🙂
