❊ Testimonial
“I've been in the fight game a long time, but balancing training, business, family, and being a dad that is a whole different kind of grind. I've known Marcos since we were kids, back when we met at tournaments and started training together. We built a strong friendship and trust over the years. That's why I believe in what he's doing with GrindSet Method.
It's real, it works, and it comes from someone who actually lives it.”

“Between the demands of my career, training regimen, and role as a mom, it's easy to feel overwhelmed at times. But the GrindSet Method I learned from Marcos has helped me find crucial balance without losing my competitive edge.
This isn't just about sharpening my skills for high-pressure matches. It's about living a healthier, more focused life in every role I play - as a teacher, athlete, and parent. I may have a master's degree, but I'm still grinding every day to reach new heights.”

From Humble Beginnings
1986
BOrn
Rio De Janeiro, Brazil
I started with futsal before shifting to martial arts. Over the years, I added wrestling and professional MMA to my journey, broadening my understanding of combat sports.
1999
First step on the mats
I started training through my older brother, Paulo Cesar, who introduced me to Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. We trained in secret from our family due to the bad reputation the sport had at the time.
2002
Tragedy Struck
Paulo died during a robbery in Rio in 2002, an event that changed my life forever. I decided to continue his legacy in his memory, and eventually gained the full support of my family in this journey.
❊ Testimonial
“I've trained with Marcos over the years, and I can confidently say he's not only a world-class athlete, but a quality human being. Having a mentor like him in your corner, someone who's been through the grind and knows the game, is invaluable.
This program is a no-brainer for anyone serious about leveling up. With Marcos' guidance, you'll be able to push past your limits and achieve performance levels beyond what you ever thought possible.''
