"Espixa"
I'm Alessandro Martins — pro MMA fighter (9-3-0) and Jiu-Jitsu coach based in Norwalk, CT. My sessions are BJJ-first: position, technique, submissions, guard — built around your level and your goals.
If you want to layer in striking or MMA fundamentals on top, I bring that in too. What I don't bring is a generic program or a copy-paste class.
Every single session is built for you. That's the only way I know how to coach.
"Jiu-Jitsu is my main language on the mats. The fight experience just makes me a better teacher."
Why Private?
Private Jiu-Jitsu isn't a luxury. It's the fastest route to real progress on the mat — here's exactly why.
100% of the session is focused on you. No distractions, no waiting — pure mat time with a pro watching every move.
Habits get fixed the moment they form — not months later after you've drilled them wrong a thousand times.
Your frame, your flexibility, your game. No generic drills. Every session adapted to how you move.
Drill the techniques from class until they're yours. You'll feel the difference in every roll.
Guard passing? Submissions? Competition prep? MMA transitions? The session goes exactly where you need it.
9-3-0 in the pro circuit. Espixa reads a grappling situation the way most coaches never will — and teaches from that depth.

In just a few sessions with Espixa I improved my guard game more than I had in months of group training. The level of detail and individual attention is genuinely on another level.
— BJJ Student, Norwalk CT
My son started BJJ at 9 years old. Espixa has an incredible way with kids — discipline and genuine fun at the same time. Total game changer for our family.
— Parent, Gracie Sports
Tournament prep was incredible. He found gaps in my game I didn't know I had and we worked through everything before my next competition. I placed first.
— BJJ Competitor, Norwalk
Completely new to Jiu-Jitsu and nervous to start. He made me feel safe and comfortable from the very first session. Now I train twice a week and can't stop.
