The grappling coach there, Tyga, is a Marcelo student so it's ok if you go there ;)

If you go to NYC and look at any other academy other than marcelo Garcia's you should seriously reevaluate why you even train jiu jitsu
Marcelo is a no brainer but if I was in NY there is no way Im missing a opportunity to go to Renzo's. Renzo is awesome
100% this. If you want to get the best jiu jitsu that you can get this is the clear option. He's arguably the best grappler to walk to the earth and he's a fantastic teacher. And now he's going to be spending more time than ever devoted to his students. You also have an incredible talent pool of super tough and technical training partners which at a certain point is probably more important than having a good professor. Plus Marcelo will be in there rolling with you daily. Renzo's is great and so is Shaolin's. But if you want to improve the most as a grappler then you should go train with Marcelo Garcia.
Marcelo put shaolin to sleep in 30seconds at the 2003 adcc and beat Renzo 9-0 at the same ADCC.
