MLG Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu-MMA - Calimesa, California

There is no better to coach to learn from. Professor Marcos Loro Galvao teaches at a high level but is able to explain each move and provide clear instruction.

The team pushes hard but is always supportive. Higher belts always take time to help beginners. I train here along with my son and daughter. Both had other coaches in the past, but Professor Loro brings out their best.

If you live in the Calimesa, Yucaipa, and Beaumont area, there is no better place to learn from.

I have been training here for almost a month now and it has quickly become my second home. From the very start professor Marcos welcomed me in like I was family and it has been an honor learning from him and all the other great and talented individuals who train here. I highly recommend stopping in and trying out a class if you’re looking into starting your BJJ journey. Much love for the MLG family!

MLG Academy is the best BJJ school around, not only because Professor and champion Jiu-Jitsu practitioner Marcos “Loro” Galvao is a fantastic instructor but also because of the community built in this school. Professor Loro treats his students like family and we all respect each other and help each other on our Jiu Jitsu journey. Learning under Loro Galvao is an honor and I treat this place like my home away from home. Jiu Jitsu has done wonders for my mental and physical health and it’ll do the same for others ready to take that leap, Start Today, Start Here.

We’ve been training at MLG for a few months & we absolutely love it. Professor Galvao is truly the best. His expertise in BJJ & warmth on and off the mat have helped my son grow tremendously. Professor takes his time with each student & we are so blessed to have joined this amazing gym! 🙂

I recently had the incredible opportunity to train at Marcos Galvao's Jiu-Jitsu school, and I must say that it has been an absolutely outstanding experience. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with warmth and a genuine sense of camaraderie that made me feel like I was part of the family from day one.

Professor Marcos Galvao's expertise and dedication to the art of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu are truly remarkable. His teaching style is not only informative but also inspiring, as he breaks down complex techniques into easily digestible concepts that even beginners can grasp. It's evident that he has a deep passion for sharing his knowledge and helping his students grow both on and off the mat.

The atmosphere at the school is one of positivity, respect, and continuous improvement. The students are diverse in skill levels, but everyone is supportive and eager to help one another succeed. Whether you're a beginner taking your first steps into the world of Jiu-Jitsu or an advanced practitioner honing your skills, you'll find an environment that encourages personal growth and collaboration.

The facility itself is clean, the class schedules are flexible, offering options for various skill levels and accommodating even the busiest of lifestyles.

One aspect that truly stood out to me is the emphasis on safety and proper technique. Professor Marcos Galvao and his team prioritize injury prevention and provide detailed explanations on how to execute techniques without compromising your own or your training partner's well-being. This approach fosters a culture of longevity in training and ensures that students can continue enjoying the benefits of Jiu-Jitsu for years to come.

Whether you're interested in self-defense, physical fitness, or the pursuit of mastering the art of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Marcos Galvao's Jiu-Jitsu school is an exceptional choice. The combination of expert instruction, welcoming community, and a commitment to excellence makes it a standout institution in the world of martial arts. I wholeheartedly recommend this school to anyone looking to embark on a Jiu-Jitsu journey or to further enhance their existing skills.

Marco's is the most decorated BJJ teacher in the Inland Empire having won multiple world titles in BJJ, and is a former Bellator MMA Champion.

I’ve been training with Professor Galvao shortly after he opened his school. He instructs every class, is very detail oriented with the technique, and is willing to work with you 1v1 should the needs of the class permit it. The environment is friendly and welcoming to newcomers (white belts) and drop ins. If you’re looking to start jj or for a new school, come try it out! The mat space is big enough for everyone
