The people who made Gracie Sports what it is today — and whose spirit lives in every class we teach.
Mestre Marcio was a 7th Degree Red & Black Belt and a true giant of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. He dedicated his life to the art and to the people who practiced it — mentoring generations of students and teachers with the same generosity and humility that defined every step of his journey. He passed on April 2, 2026, leaving behind a legacy that lives in every class we teach.
♥ Forever on the mats — forever in our hearts
