Renzo Gracie Jiu Jitsu

Marco Teixeira has NO discipline and NO respect for woman! Let me share my experience.
Yesterday, I attended the LIPRIDE tournament in BK, NY. My daughter is an active competitor in Jiujitsu. She faced a male student under the direction of Marco Teixeira and won both of her matches. During their second & final match, I stood behind the barriers and helped in coaching my daughter. These events are very loud with coaches yelling from many different corners. Marco decided to stand side by side with me to coach his student and became irritated at the volume of my voice. He grunted a few times and could have simply moved away but stayed by my side. He was agitated that his student was not following his direction. When the fight ended, he began to curse «this fucking kid doesn’t fucking listen». He then stood behind me and very passive aggressively and loudly states to his companions, «this fucking bitch was yelling in my fucking ear». I instantly turned to face him and asked him how dare he be so disrespectful to call me a bitch. He then began to argue with me that he can say whatever the F he wants and to get the F out of his face. This exchange lasted a few more seconds where I told him he was not a man for disrespecting a woman, among other choice words, and that he should be ashamed to be such a foul representation of his academy and his belt. He dismissed me very aggressively and could not have cared less.
If you are looking for a Jiujitsu program who will instill respect and discipline into your child’s daily life and help them grow as an individual, this academy is not the place as long as Marco Teixeira is leading the program. He lacks these very fundamentals himself and therefore is not fit to be teaching any child. Especially young girls. As a black belt, he should be held to a higher standard. How can you affectively teach others what you lack yourself? Before he decided to disrespect me, a perfect stranger for simply being too loud for him, he was very impatient with the student who was competing and his response to the loss was not appropriate at all. Skip this place and find a respectable instructor who actually respects woman and the Gracie lineage. Shame on you, Marco Teixeira.
