Marcelo Alonso Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Affiliation
Lineage in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is an important litmus test for the authenticity of your instructors. Our academy’s affiliation with Marcelo Alonso ensures that we maintain access to the highest level instruction and demonstrates that our Professor upholds a high standard when it comes to the Martial Arts.
Marcelo has been training and coaching Sport Jiu-Jitsu for well over 30 years and is the most experienced instructor in the region. He possesses a truly extraordinary knowledge of his martial art and sport.
The term “master” is an often overused word in the commercial world of martial arts. However, the word in this instance accurately expresses Marcelo’s vast technical skills, his exhaustive knowledge of the myriad details of his Art which reflect the broad and varied experience that he has gained over decades training and coaching. He has been at times referred to by others as “the encyclopedia” due to his expertise. He has trained thousands of individuals: men and women, competitors, kids, law-enforcement, military personnel, and MMA fighters.
We are grateful and motivated to be a part of this team. MABJJ!
