I had such a big progress in my BJJ while training with Professor Marangoni. I was having a hard time after many years of non-training but with help from him I was able to get back on track and continue my journey in BJJ. His classes can be described with words like: discipline, fundamentals, and details. Proper attitude in class, fluency in basic skills, and high-level details of various techniques are things you can learn from him. I can confidently say that, from complete beginner to professional level practitioner, anyone who joins his class will get the best experience possible.

If you're looking for a top-tier Brazilian Jiu Jitsu school with an outstanding instructor, Gabriel’s academy is the place to be.

Gabriel has an incredible ability to break down complex techniques, making them accessible to practitioners of all levels.

During my Jiu-Jitsu journey, I’ve had the opportunity to train in several places across Brazil and the United States. When I first trained with Professor Marangoni in California, I was amazed by his deep knowledge of Jiu-Jitsu. He is an exceptional professor and highly skilled competitor. If you live in Salt Lake, don’t miss the opportunity to learn from him - it’s truly worth experiencing for yourself. To top it off, his partner is a judo black belt, adding even more value to this incredible academy.

Professor Marangoni is an outstanding instructor who seamlessly blends his extensive experience in competition and teaching with a genuine passion for sharing his knowledge. His ability to inspire confidence, discipline, and respect in his students is truly remarkable. Whether in a seminar, one-on-one session, or daily class, every interaction is engaging, challenging, and thoughtfully tailored to individual growth. Under his guidance, I’ve not only honed my jiu-jitsu skills but also developed mental fortitude that serves me both on and off the mats. I highly recommend meeting him—you’re in for an incredible experience!
