I've been fortunate to have Marcio as a coach for the past couple years and it's been an awesome experience. The level of detail he's able to convey while teaching is unparalleled and make it easy to understand why he's one of the best competitors in Jiu Jitsu. Marcio cares for his students and pushes us to be our best everyday. Whether you're looking to compete or push yourself to be the best you can be you should definitely check out Marcio Andre Jiu Jitsu Academy in Ahwatukee, Arizona
I’ve trained with Marcio a few months while I was living in Arizona. I don’t know how but he has a way to explain the technique in a way everyone can understand it, from kids to adults, from white belts to black belts. You can see your improvement from class to class. While in class he’s always checking on everyone just to make sure you’re getting the move right and if you don’t, he’s always open to stay after class to help you get it right.
Marcio is an amazing instructor with a lot of patience. He has worked with our 16 year old as well as our 12 year old. He goes above and beyond for his students to make sure they understand what they are learning.
Marcio is one of the best Jiu-Jitsu instructors I've trained with. I would highly recommend him and his academy.
Train with the best!
Don’t miss the chance to learn and practice with the best. Oss
