  I took a private lesson from him in 2006. I was an advanced grappler… Or so I thought before Marcelo ran through me like I never stepped on the mat. It was amazing. Also, quite a few Jiu Jitsu idols have questionable behavior. I don’t think I ever heard anyone speak ill of Marcelo ever. GOAT.

  "It's not the size of the dog in the fight, but rather the size of the fight in the dog." Marcelo Garcia will forever be my favorite BJJ competitor and not just because of his Jiu Jitsu, but even more so, his character as a man!

  Marcelo was everyone's favorite competitor when he was active, tournaments would damn near stop when he was on the mat. No one brought the excitement he did. He was the small man destroying giants. He is likely the most studied competitor of all time as well and his fingerprints are all over today's top competitors. I remember for weeks after one of his ADCC victories, our entire class would be drilling the stuff he had just used. I had the pleasure to briefly meet Marcelo once, super nice guy.

  Also, what they don't tell you is that after Marcelo killed everyone in 2003 the whole grappling community focused on him and his techniques, we tried to learn everything we could about him. And this continued throughout his career, every guard and every submission. It must have been hard to win matches while the world is studying your every move.
