Monteiro in the early 1990s, that they trained together for many years, and that many people seek Monteiro to learn his guard and mainly half-guard positions. The testimonial notes that Monteiro has helped many current jiu-jitsu champions with their techniques, that his positions are detailed and intelligent, and that they created and improved many half-guard positions and new fighting strategies at Monteiro's academy, which Nogueira still uses in his fights. Nogueira states that he strongly believes Marcello C. Monteiro is one of the best.
