Reviews
"So glad I joined this gym. I came from 9Round in January, and was looking for a gym that taught technique while still getting a great workout in. I have grown so much in the short time I've been here, Marcel is be best coach!!! Then I had to see what Jiu Jitsu had to offer and it was the best decision I have made in 2024 so far!"
"I've been training at Fortuna BJJ for over a year now and do both kickboxing & jiu jitsu. Marcel is a great coach and has patience to make sure students learn proper technique. I am so thankful I found this gym. Highly recommend for beginners, kids, and professionals!"
"Can’t say enough about Fortuna BJJ or Marcel!! Marcel has been my 1 on 1 Professor/Instructor for over 3 years now. It was a no-brainer to follow him when he opened his new gym a little over a year ago, because he’s absolutely the best at what he does! I gladly drive 40 minutes one way to be trained 2-3 times per week by Marcel. The atmosphere at Fortuna BJJ is extremely welcoming, fun, and can be competitive if that’s what you choose. If you’re looking for a place to train that you’ll feel comfortable at, try Fortuna BJJ. You’ll be hooked after your first class!"
"This place rocks. We moved in from out of state and I was nervous looking around at other gyms. Fortuna BJJ was the third gym I tried, and it was an immediate fit. Marcel is not only a very accomplished grappler and MMA fighter, but is also a patient and insightful teacher. My two sons and I all attend and we couldn't be happier"
"I've been training at Fortuna BJJ for about a month now. I love the classes and the people that I see daily. Marcel is a great teacher with focus on techniques and application. I do both BJJ and Kickboxing. Also forgot to mention I drive 40 mins one way to train here. Yes there are closer gyms, but I value his patience, teaching, and approach to each of his students. Well worth trying!"
