A Legend Is in the Building
Master Alfredo Marques arrives on our mats this week — plus the seminar in photos, a word from Alex, and everything we’re training this week.
Academy News
Abram Charles Steps Into the Corner
Abram took on one of the toughest challenges in combat sports — cutting from around 165 pounds to compete at 135. Months of discipline, sacrifice, and mental toughness. In his last fight he won the first two rounds before the judges gave his opponent the decision in the third. It wasn’t the result we hoped for, but one fight never defines a fighter.
What defines Abram is his character. He never stopped training, never stopped learning, and never stopped helping others. Now he’s chosen a new path: developing the next generation of fighters at Quintella as our Wrestling Coach and MMA Coach, while continuing his own journey in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Real champions never give up — they keep growing, keep serving, and keep pushing. The best is yet to come.
