Reach your full potential with Marcio Cruz Brazilian Jiu Jitsu!

This is an amazing academy. The whole family trains here and loves it. The professors, coaches, and administration are great. They treat you like family! We would definitely recommend to anyone interested in Jiu Jitsu!

Whatever you are searching for you will find it here. I initially joined because I was looking for a home away from home. I got way more then I had ever hoped for. Professor Cruz, his instructors, and the students have all helped rebuild my confidence, self esteem, and gave me the tools needed to focus on what truly matters in my life. It’s an amazingly friendly environment with great instruction. Just like a loving family with amazing parents. I strongly encourage signing up.

I signed my 8 year old son up for classes here and he absolutely loves it. It’s a great way for him to get exercise, learn self defense skills, and learn how to better interact with other kids with confidence. It was such a great experience for him that it inspired me to join as well. We are both so very excited to come to class.

My wife and I took my three year old son to the Carrollwood academy yesterday evening. The instructors were AMAZING. It is next to impossible to get my son to focus on just one thing. However, with the friendly, fun and patient environment the staff puts on Caleb (my son) couldn't get enough of it! We signed him up right after class and now I think I will be bringing my niece. I wish there was an option for 10 stars!

I have been training here for over a year and love it. Everyone, staff and students alike are so helpful. Don’t hesitate. Bring your whole family and learn from the best. Your health and self confidence will improve as well. If I could describe my experience at this gym I would say it is life changing.

My seven year old son has been a student at MCBJJ for nearly a year now and in that time he has grown not only in jiu-jitsu, but also in respect, dedication and self-esteem. Coach Mike and Professor Josh are fantastic instructors, helping the kids not only with skills on the mat, but also helping reinforce skills that help them off the mat.

Best gym in town! Lucky are the ones that can train with professor Marcio Cruz!

My son has been coming to this school for almost a year now, and he really feels that he is in the right place with the right team. The coaches, and administration are excellent. My son is looking forward to compete, and thanks to the training he gets he has the confidence to participate at world class level jiu jitsu.
