In early March of 2022 one of his wrestler friends suggested he tried Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and a couple weeks later he walked in Gracie Barra Deerfield and immediately fell in love with the art.

As a fresh addition to the Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu community, coach Odysseas enters the world of teaching with an unyielding passion for the art. As a certified instructor, he quickly immersed himself in the art and its principles, understanding its nuances and transformative impact firsthand. Through his own journey, Coach Odysseas recognizes the profound benefits and effectiveness of Jiu-Jitsu and aims to share this knowledge with students.

Under the guidance of Professor Marcelo, their classes emphasize foundational techniques, discipline, and a supportive atmosphere, fostering growth and skill development for practitioners at all levels.
