Owner/Coach
"Although Brazilian born, I didn’t start training in jiu-jitsu until coming to the US. I’ve been practicing and training for more than 10 years and currently brown belt for over 3 years under Mike Pillardino. During those 10 years, I’ve been a part of a few good schools, learned from my professors, competed across the U.S., and met great people. I decided to open my own academy, to share my greatest passion, through teaching, guiding, and make a difference in people’s life’s.
Jiu-jitsu it’s a great community and I’m proud to be part of it! OSS!"
Coach - Strike program
"Born and raised in Poughkeepsie, NY. I discovered my passion for boxing and Martial Arts at the age of 15. I knew when I laced up my gloves that this is what I wanted to share with the world. I wish to provide sound and proper techniques within the sport and see individuals grow. Throughout my 14 year career with Martial Arts, I have faced many opponents, with New Orleans becoming most successful. I have faced Amateurs and professionals inside of the ring. I have found passion for what I do and I look to offer that to anyone who is interested in learning the sweet science"

Immensely supportive group, classes are at a perfectly reasonable time, intimate class structure. Leonardo breaks down and reviews the nuances of position control as it occurs. Highly recommend anyone who is interested in BJJ to take a look in.

I dropped into this awesome studio to train with coach Leo. Everyone there were very welcoming, and gave me a lot of pointers on how to practice and learn bjj.
Ample parking spots and close to the station. If you’re in the area and thinking about learning martial arts, I highly recommend Mercury BJJ.

A great new space, and coaches Leo and Chris teach legit Jiu-jitsu. Great for all levels.
Absolutely. Brazilian Jiu Jitsu teaches kids to be coordinated, flexible and strong. Kids who don't naturally have these qualities develop them. Kids who do have these qualities develop them even more.
Yes! After all, these are children we're dealing with here. And kids love their fun. We do a variety of games and activities that have kids laughing and smiling. We work hard here - but we play just as hard.
Because we place such a huge focus on safety and injury prevention, we're proud to say that injuries are very few and far between with our program. In fact, because Brazilian Jiu Jitsu gets you in great shape, and makes you strong and flexible, people often see LESS injuries in their lives.
Not at all! In fact, many people use martial arts as a way to get in good shape. They come to us out of shape, and quickly become athletic and limber.
No! Because self-defense technique is taught in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, it's often thought of as violent. However, the philosophies behind Brazilian Jiu Jitsu revolve around peace and harmony. The moves are more of a way to become connected with your body. We teach diplomacy and friendship. However, if a violent situation ever arises in your life, you'll have powerful tools to defend yourself and your loved ones.
Honestly, practically every age is a good age to start! We have young children, as well as teenagers. We also have specific programs for adults. So no matter what age - we've got you covered.
