About the School
Gilroy BJJ was founded in 2010. Carlos “Wookie” Melo was able to build the foundation of the school as a fledgling club with a handful of students and lay the ground work for it to become the staple of the South Santa Clara County California martial arts scene that it is known as today.
In 2016 Carlos Melo partnered with Morgan Chappell. Under the management of Carlos & Morgan Gilroy BJJ joined the Caio Terra Association in 2019, and the Academy made it through the 2020 pandemic. Even though it’s doors were closed to the public the school was able survive the shutdown and open its doors again in spring of 2021.
In early 2022 Morgan Chappell moved to Nevada and Carlos Melo partnered with Anthony Rutherford. Carlos & Anthony make up the current leadership of Gilroy BJJ which looks to continue the rich tradition of maintaining the Academy as South Santa Clara County’s premier School for Self Defense, Law Enforcement training & Sport Jiu-Jitsu instruction.
