In late December, BJJ legend Marcelo Garcia returned to training for the first time after his cancer diagnosis. Since then, it looks as though the former ADCC Champion has gone from strength to strength as he has since announced his first seminar after completing his chemotherapy.
This was made on his Instagram account where Garcia said: ‘I’m happy to be back teaching again! There are only a few spots left for Saturday, see you soon Dallas.’
The event is to take place at one of his affiliate gyms, Marcelo Garcia Dallas. Prices are $150 for one day each, and they take place on Saturday and Sunday from the 3rd to the 4th of February at 12-2 PM. Currently, Marcelo Garcia has several affiliate gyms across the globe, with the majority of them being based in the USA. However, he also has gyms in Korea, Russia, Mexico, and a list of other countries.
Back in January of last year, Garcia announced that he had stomach cancer and would require surgery to remove his therapy. Since then, it has been a hectic year for the BJJ veteran who now seems to be coming out of it stronger than ever.
At this point in time, it is not known whether Garcia will do more tours throughout the year, however this is good news for Dallas residents who want to learn from one of the best.
