Marcio Cruz Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Carrollwood - Tampa, Florida

Jose Fababa

Great staff, great coaching, ample time for the class and for fun. I took my children and couldn't be happier. They promote accountability and discipline. Great promotions to get people started and continuous support. They even create incentives for children to move up quicker with good grades in school. The atmosphere is also commendable. Multiple locations and they allow flexibility to go to any of the locations. Would highly recommend!

Very good instruction, but predatory contracts even after 1 year commitment is up and month to month they charge extra month after you cancel just to gouge for my two kids that was almost $300 for a month we couldn't even use.

We were planning to return after summer travel but will not return. It seems loyalty only flows one direction at MCBJJ.

This gym is awesome, my kids have been training with them for 3 years and they loved it. This gym has helped them so much, Professor Marcio and all the coaches are amazing.
I decided to get back in the mats myself and couldn’t be happier, Professor Rodrigo is a super nice guy with amazing techniques and always looking to help you during class.
Come see for yourself how good they are!!

What an outstanding facility! We have been part of this family for almost 5 years. The benefits to both our children have been incredible. Increased confidence and focus. Greatly enhanced physical fitness. And of course, the BEST Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu instruction available. Both of my kids have had great success being part of the competition team. Professor Josh Souder and the coaches really promote a team/family atmosphere. My children’s success inspired me to join and I am having an awesome time. It is really inspiring to share something both healthy and fun with my family. If you are thinking about enrolling yourself or your family, in a martial art, this is the place you want to explore. The opportunity to have your children instructed by a black belt is unlike anything else you will find in the area. Do yourself a favor and come check out Marcio Cruz BJJ!

Same story as all the negative reviews. Amazing instructors and great school. Shady and sneaky administration.

Pricing in case any one is curious, since this information is not available online:

$400 to start, with a "free" gi.
$180 monthly for 5-6 days a week.
$50 a month to 'freeze' your account.. but it counts as a month used. So they can get to that second contract faster~! another $400 to renew after all.

I'll leave the cancel fee blank, since all the negative reviews are regarding that.. in one form or another.

All the coaches of both facilities are excellents, my favorite is Arianna since she is a woman like me and is always willing to help in any way so that students can improve in the art of Jiu-Jitsu. Everyone is respectful in the facilities and they are always willing to help you as neccesary, I have no complaints about the gym.

Both Marcio Cruz BJJ locations are outstanding training facilities with top-notch instruction. Regardless of the location that you join, you'll have membership at both facilities and receive instruction from all MCBJJ Professors and coaches, as their time is split between the two locations. Regardless of what your schedule is, the MCBJJ team makes every effort to accommodate your training. Professor Marcio and his team take time to ensure you understand the technique and how to apply it, without overwhelming you or rushing you. They'll do everything they can to keep you challenged and motivated as you join their family. If you have any bit of interest in training Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, do yourself a favor and at least check them out.
