Marcio Feitosa Biography

Marcio Feitosa was born in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil on May 16th, 1976. Feitosa was raised in an upper class family in Barra da Tijuca; however his father abandoned the family when Marcio was only twelve years old. This left Marcio and his brother in charge of their family house hold. Marcio trained extensively from a very young age at the Gracie Barra Academy. His master Carlos Gracie Junior invited Marcio to be an assistant coach at the gym at age 15. It gave Feitosa a job for the first time in his life, which helped his mother to pay the bills. Marcio’s hard work paid off by the age of 19 when he received his black belt. Two years later Marcio joined Brazilian Jiu Jitsu history by winning the first Pan American games and the Brazilian Nationals. The following year Marcio won the Mundials, becoming one of the strongest competitors of his generation. He secured this with wings against legendary fighters such as Vitor Ribeiro and Leonardo Vieira.
