ABOUT CB3BJJ
A LEGACY PASSED FORWARD.
OUR STORY
The story of Cruvinel Brothers BJJ Norwalk begins with Marcos and JP Cruvinel, two brothers whose mastery of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and dedication to teaching built a legacy of excellence. For more than 20 years, they have developed students and competitors through discipline, respect and technical precision.
Among their students was Coach Steven Luciano. After years of training under their guidance, Steven earned his black belt from Marcos Cruvinel — a milestone that represents not only technical mastery, but the passing forward of a tradition built on honor, humility and excellence.
With their blessing, Cruvinel Brothers BJJ Norwalk was created to bring that lineage to Norwalk: authentic Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu tradition paired with modern coaching systems, youth development, self-defense, fitness and community.
