Introduction

Marcus Lopes is the co-owner and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Black Belt (2nd degree) Head Coach at Rio Gyms. With more than 25 years of experience in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Marcus has trained with Thiago Silva (Barbosa Jiu-Jitsu B9)Β  since 1999 before moving to Perth (WA) in 2012, and also from Thiago’s hand, Marcus received his Black Belt in 2014.

With vast experience in teaching Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Marcus strongly believes that Jiu-Jitsu can change lives. He believes that improvement occurs day by day through commitment, effort, and resilience.

“Jiu-Jitsu is not only about competition. It is much more than you can imagine. Jiu-Jitsu teaches you how to be a better person, and a better citizen, and how to protect yourself and your loved ones. Jiu-Jitsu is very addictive. I’m also proud to say that my Jiu-Jitsu teaching style is for everyone, here at Rio Gyms you will learn how to overcome all your limitations (physical and mental), we make no difference between gender, Jiu-Jitsu level, and we treat everyone equally – believe me,Β this is a huge difference if you are looking for a place to start your Jiu-Jitsu Journey”.
