Services
Contact us via the request form or give us a call at 214-546-7379. You can also swing by the gym and talk to Rob Ables, head instructor, or Stephanie at the front desk. Would you like to book a BJJ private lesson with the owner, third degree black belt Rob Ables? Time slots are available in 60 minute lesson times.
It needs to be a Jiu-Jitsu Gi, since they are made of tougher material and built for the pulling and grabbing that happens in training. We have some for sale at the gym. There are rashguards and fight shorts available, but shorts that fit well around the waist and a t-shirt that isn't too loose fitting are a good start.

Excellent, knowledgeable Professor/owner. Professor Rob is a 4th stripe Black Belt. Professor Rob does not only know the moves but has the ability to teach them with a great focus on the details that make them work. Great place to learn the fundamentals and the more advanced Gi/No Gi techniques.

We dropped in while visiting Dallas for a Fight to Win Pro and got to train with Professor Mario and coach Elisa, they were awesome!! Thanks so much for making us feel welcome and for the great no gi class. The class was technical, the facility was clean and the other students were welcoming!

Visited on a Friday in early December, the mats were clean and the members welcoming. Only had to sign a waiver and show vaccine card or negative test . The day class was structured drilling, taught technique, and then rolling, and I really enjoyed all three. I had a great time and will visit again sometime in the future.

I️ literally drive one hour, down and back, just to train at this gym.
Jiu-jitsu is not my career. The commute is inconvenient. And I could probably save a lot of time by just going to some local gym. But I️ still wake up every day and choose to come to Marcelo’s and train with Rob and Mario because I️ can’t get what they offer anywhere else—the first-class technique, the gym culture, and the FANTASTIC people.

Rob Ables is one of most realest Coaches I have been around. From day one, I was welcomed in with respect and open arms. Not only just Rob, but the other instructors all teach solid technique and care about their students actually withholding the information. If you’re looking for gym that will take your jiujitsu to new heights whether you’re just starting out or grappler that competes Marcelo Garcia Dallas is for you!!

Amazing Gym. Recently moved to Dallas from Los Angeles and everyone is super welcoming. Great atmosphere. Great Instruction from Rob and the rest of the instructors. No Egos to be found. I have trained at Checkmat and Renzo Affiliates in the past and this is just another solid gym from a another legacy lineage.

Every gym is different but here's what this one is known for: world class instruction, a HUGE emphasis on safety, and a great atmosphere. I found this place when I needed somewhere to train after moving from San Diego and it's the best gym I've ever seen. Best coaches in Dallas, a laid-back atmosphere, and awesome training partners/friends. What more could I ask for? The people who train here have such fascinating personal lives and careers, yet 100% of them say that coming to MG is the highlight of their week. It's certainly the highlight of mine, too.

Best school in Dallas. Professor Rob ables Is a very chill and open-minded instructor who also cares greatly about your success. This school is welcoming from the moment you step a foot through the door and all the higher belts were very helpful on pointing out simple mistakes I was making and how to correct them.
