Marco has been training in multiple gyms in the San Diego area, but the Carlson Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Academy in San Marcos, CA, is what he calls home now. He trains strictly traditional Muay Thai.
Marco works out 5 days a week for one to two hours, and his training consists of the usual core sparring, shadow boxing, thai/focus pad and heavybag work that thai boxers have been doing for ages.
