Self-Defense Jiu Jitsu, Passed Down by Helio Gracie
At our school, we teach a self-defense style of Gracie Jiu Jitsu, which our instructor Sam Marcellini had the privilege to learn directly from the founder Grandmaster Helio Gracie and his sons. We are the only facility in the area offering this style of Jiu-Jitsu, and we have people commuting for hours to train with us on a regular basis
Most schools focus on a grappling competition-based style of Jiu Jitsu. We focus solely on self-defense. Representatives of this style from Sam Marcellini's school have had historic success in MMA and No Holds Barred competitions for over 100 years

Train with Chief Instructor
Sam Marcellini
With decades of experience in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and striking arts, Sam trained under legends Helio and Royce Gracie, earning his black belt as one of Royce’s earliest students in California and becoming the second person in the state to achieve this rank under him.
He later became the first certified Muay Thai instructor under Rob Kaman in the U.S. Holding multiple black belts—including in Shorin Kung Fu, GB Jiu-Jitsu, Shorin-Ryu Karate, and Chinese Boxing—Sam has spent nearly 35 years teaching and refining his unique self-defense system, blending grappling and striking for practical application.
As a sparring partner for Royce Gracie during some of his legendary fights, and as an instructor for elite martial artist, Sam has put his focus on teaching beginners and everyday people, empowering students of all ages and fitness levels with confidence and martial arts expertise.

"Having trained at MMAA since 2002 I can strongly attest to the authenticity and effectiveness of the instruction at this school. Sam Marcellini is an excellent instructor who is a black belt under Royce Gracie. His attention to detail and focus on technical proficiency is definitely top level. Furthermore his ability to instruct kids in detail while maintaining a fun learning environment has created an especially strong kids program. The bottom line is if you want to learn authentic Gracie Jiu-Jitsu with a strong focus on functional street self defense then this is where you want to train"
- Luciano Savala
"Being an older woman, I wasn't sure about starting a martial arts practice, but Sam's emphasis on practicing safely set my mind at ease. He also teaches with lots of patience and precision. Now, almost 2 years later, my practice is going strong. Jiu Jitsu is so much fun at the same time keeps mind and body in top condition! Sam has trained with some of the best and it's clear that he is fully committed to bringing the highest quality available to his students. The kids are not only taught the martial art skills, but Sam teaches them clarity of mind, kindness and respect for self and others, self control, and honesty. If you want your child to learn M A safely and learn some comprehensive life skills, by a teacher who truly cares about his students, or you are just someone who wants to get the best teaching around, then this is the place to come."
