Marcio Silva resides in Marion and owns and operates Xcel Brazilian Jiu Jitsu School located in New Bedford. The Xcel school is a part of the New England United family, a group of Jiu Jitsu schools located throughout New England and lead by Andre Dedeco Almeida.
“When I was younger I always wanted to open my own gym. I love to teach others, and Jiu Jitsu had such a huge impact on my life. I have traveled all over the world to train with the best instructors, and I wanted to share that with others in this area.” Says Silva.
“I knew if I truly wanted to teach my students the best techniques, they had to be tested in competition. That’s why I continue to compete, to improve my skills, but most importantly to make sure what I am teaching my students is proven in real life and in competition.”
