• Ages: 3–18 years old
• Price: If a family decides to sign up, the program waives a $150 enrollment fee for those who found it online.
Kids BJJ is for ages 5–10 and prepares kids to protect themselves against bullies or in harmful situations. Junior Adults BJJ is for ages 10 and up and transitions children into the adult class while teaching submissions under close instructor supervision. Instructors make sure that every portion of a technique is done perfectly and turned into a movement the child can be proud of. For kids, the program is offered for ages 3 to 15.
The program is led by 5th Degree Black Belt Marcello C. Monteiro, who is Indy's only Black Belt from Brazil and has over 31 years of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu experience. He has trained UFC fighters and legends and works with a friendly and positive BJJ coach staff. The mission of the program is based on Brazilian Jiu Jitsu as a martial art that focuses on skill, leverage, and mental awareness, which allows a person to overcome a larger and stronger opponent.
Marcello’s Indianapolis Jiu Jitsu schedule offers two different BJJ classes to adults based on skill level. Levels 1, 2, and 3 are fundamental classes for white belts with 3 stripes or less, and Level 4 and Advanced are for 4-stripe white belts and above. Every step of Marcello's entire white to black belt curriculum has been professionally recorded and is available at www.bjjcoachonline.com, and families can download the free BJJ Coach Bio App to access all 16 levels. The program also offers an online academy with a 24/7 step-by-step curriculum, lots of AM and PM classes, and private lessons.
Marcello offers private lessons that can be taken alone or with up to 4 people. Small group lessons allow participants to split the cost among the group while still learning specific techniques that apply to each person. The grappling and sparring are conducted under supervision to ensure safety. BJJ Step-by-Step beginner courses are carefully structured and taught in a way so that someone who is new to the art or is totally out of shape can easily understand without feeling overwhelmed or confused, and these classes are held with other beginners.
The program takes place at Marcello's home academy in Indianapolis, which has about 1,000 square feet of mat space, private changing rooms, an academy pro shop, and a clean facility. The program lists partners as BJJ Coach, BJJ Coach Marketing, and BJJ Coach Online. Brazilian Jiu Jitsu in this program is described as a highly effective self-defense, a competitive sport, and a core skill for Mixed Martial Arts, as in the UFC.
