Our History

Xcel Brazilian Jiu Jitsu was founded by Marcio Silva, a 2x IBJJF World Champion with a diverse and successful athletic career. Marcio's journey began in Judo at age five, followed by professional cycling at 16, and eventually, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu at 25. He has trained with multiple World Champions and now shares his passion and quest for knowledge with his students daily.

Kids' Program

The program is designed to improve skill, confidence, and teamwork in a supportive and fun environment. Martial arts training emphasizes discipline, respect, self-confidence, and physical fitness. Our kids compete and win in prestigious submission grappling tournaments, but the values of sportsmanship, respect, hard work, and having fun are always stressed and encouraged over winning.
