He’s been coaching wrestling at the high school level for two years at his alma mater, but has years of experience since his high school career at Mt Hope, including 4 years on Varsity, for which he was named All Division Academic Scholar Athlete throughout, in addition to MVP and team captain from 2011 – 2012. In 2010, his team earned the Championship at Sectionals and claimed the title for Dual Meet Champions, and in 2012, were the runner ups in the Northeast Dual Championship, bringing the program into D1, where it stands today. He helped coach his team in the 24/25 season to earn multiple titles, including 2 Freshman State Champions, a 2x JV State Champion, 8 State Place Finishers (out of 14), 2 wrestlers earning all American status 2 years in a row, 3rd ranked high school at the Varsity State Tournament, 1st ranked public high school at the Varsity State Tournament, 4 wrestlers breaking the 100-win club, and the Mt Hope team was ranked in the Top 50 teams in all of New England in 24/25.

Coach Dougie is a Black Belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, competing and placing in various tournaments across the country, in addition to coaching youth and adults for the last 14+ years at various schools, including Fight Sports Boston. His coaching experience blends wrestling and jiu jitsu into a unique approach that his students thrive in. In the off season, Coach Dougie spends time with his wife and two sons, in addition to various wrestling clubs with his team, getting ready for the next season. We’re so excited to have him back on our mats!

Coach Marcio Wins Gold at IBJJF Worlds

new bedford jiu jitsu instructor takes home goldLocal Brazilian Jiu Jitsu instructor, Marcio Silva, recently took home first place at the IBJJF (International Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Federation) World Championships that took place on Nov 1st and 2nd in Long Beach California.

The IBJJF World Championships is the premier competition in the world of competitive Jiu Jitsu. It is held once a year in California and attracts the best of the best in Jiu Jitsu. This year over 2,000 fighters showed up to compete from around the world.

Marcio competed in the masters division, over 30 years of age, and at lightweight, under 168 pounds. There were 20 fighters in his division who qualified throughout the world and he won by finishing five straight matches all by submission.

Marcio Silva resides in Marion and owns and operates Xcel Brazilian Jiu Jitsu School located in New Bedford. The Xcel school is a part of the New England United family, a group of Jiu Jitsu schools located throughout New England and lead by Andre Dedeco Almeida.

“When I was younger I always wanted to open my own gym. I love to teach others, and Jiu Jitsu had such a huge impact on my life. I have traveled all over the world to train with the best instructors, and I wanted to share that with others in this area.” Says Silva.

“I knew if I truly wanted to teach my students the best techniques, they had to be tested in competition. That’s why I continue to compete, to improve my skills, but most importantly to make sure what I am teaching my students is proven in real life and in competition.”
