Our Story
TCI Brazilian Jiu Jitsu was born unofficially in the end of 2020 and began flourishing each year from 2021 onwards.
It is the brain child of Tibor Gula and David Galluzzi who had trained in garages back in 2011 when all Turks and Caicos had was Tibor's Provo MMA club. After leaving TCI for some time and training with his brothers at Easton BJJ in Boulder, CO, David met Alex Yablong. In 2021, Alex came down to officially start TCI BJJ and bring high level jiu jitsu to Providenciales for the first ever academy in the country! With the help of a generous community and Alex's expertise, we've gotten state of the art mat space, a safe and welcoming environment to train, and a purpose-built facility with shower, changing room, weight set, and ample mat space. Our focus on developing the skills and confidence in the youth as well as providing all residents in TCI a safe place to learn what they are capable of has brought continued support and new students in both the youth and adult programs. In a short time, Professor Alex- a high level black belt competitor himself- produced a locally grown competition team that does very well in international competitions, mainly with the IBJJF.

Enjoy some fun photos from the old facility and the garage mat roots from 2020/2021 and the birth of our current space from 2022!
