Coach Bello is an amazing human and an even better coach. My son has been training under Coach Bello for about a year and he absolutely loves him. I challenge anyone to do their research on Coach Bello compared to others in the area, it’s pretty impressive.

Marcus Bello is a legend of jiujitsu and an excellent coach, he goes above an beyond for his students. He has a great team of competitors under him which he leads by example, as he is an active competitor himself, multiple times world and Pan-American champion. I recommend training at GFTEAM Katy and training with Marcus Bello.
