Marcio Cruz Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Academy in New Tampa

🥋🏠 MCBJJ Homeschool Open House 🏠🥋

Our first MCBJJ Homeschool Student Open House was a huge success! 🙌

We had an awesome group of homeschool families join us this morning for a complimentary Jiu Jitsu class. It was great meeting so many new families and seeing the kids having a blast on the mats!

We’re excited to announce that our new AM Homeschool Jiu Jitsu class will be starting soon! Several families have already signed up, and we’re looking forward to building this program together. 💪

Thank you to everyone who came out and made our first Open House such a great morning! ❤️🥋

🥋🏐 MCBJJ Youth Team — On and Off the Mats!

Jiu-Jitsu is about so much more than what happens during class. This week, our Youth Team form 6pm class, stepped off the mats and onto the court for a night of fun, teamwork, and connection! ❤️

At MCBJJ, we believe we are a team inside AND outside of the academy. Experiences like this help our students build friendships, strengthen relationships, and develop a true sense of community and belonging.

We train together. We have fun together. We grow together. 🥋🤝

More than a team. We are an MCBJJ family. ❤️

A big week of promotions at MCBJJ! 🥋👏
We have three well-deserved promotions to celebrate, and each one represents a different part of the journey.

🤎 Coach Sadie — Brown Belt
Sadie has been part of the MCBJJ family since she was just 8 years old. We’ve had the privilege of watching her grow both on and off the mats, and now she’s not only a brown belt, but an incredible coach who gives back to the next generation of students. We couldn’t be more proud of her and everything she has accomplished. Congratulations, Sadie! We’re excited to see where this next chapter takes you!

💙 Valerie — Blue Belt
Valerie has worked her way through the youth belt system and has now earned her blue belt! That’s a journey that takes years of consistency, patience, and hard work. Congratulations, Valerie — this one is very well deserved!

💙 Art — Blue Belt
And another big congratulations to Art, who earned his blue belt earlier this week! A great accomplishment and a well-earned step forward in his Jiu-Jitsu journey.

Congratulations Sadie, Valerie, and Art! We’re proud of you! 🥋❤️

Congrats to Arvin on earning his blue belt 🟦👏
Day in, day out — showing up, putting in the rounds, and continuing to improve. That consistency adds up, and it showed tonight.
Well earned. Let’s keep it going 👊

🥷🌟 MCBJJ Ninjas of the Month – August 🌟🥷

Big congratulations to our August Ninjas of the Month 👏

These students have been showing up ready to work — focused, coachable, and giving great effort every class. You can see the improvement, not just in their technique, but in how they carry themselves on the mats. 💪
Keep leading by example and setting the tone for the rest of the team 👊🔥

Hey Team!
One of our R1NG affiliates, Ralph Gracie Florida, is hosting a Competition Training session on August 23rd at 11AM.
If you’re getting ready to compete—or just want some tough rounds—this is a great opportunity to train with the R1NG team.
Even if you’re not competing, come out, support, and be part of it.
One team. One vision. One R1NG.

Another solid round of promotions for our kids 👏

No shortcuts here — just time on the mats, learning, making mistakes, improving, and coming back better the next class. That’s what this is about. 💪
It’s awesome watching this group grow and really start to understand Jiu Jitsu more and more.
Keep showing up, keep working 👊🔥
