Marcelo Garcia

Marcelo Garcia Jiu-Jitsu was established when multi-time ADCC and World No-Gi champion Marcelo Garcia opened his flagship academy in Manhattan, New York City in 2009. Garcia, widely regarded as one of the greatest competitive grapplers in history, is renowned for his aggressive guard game centered around the arm drag and rear-naked choke. The MGJJ Association extends his methodology through a growing global network of affiliated academies emphasizing technical precision, live rolling, and high-level competitor development.
