Copa Jiu Jitsu is a great place to train the classic heavy pressure Carlson Gracie style of jiu jitsu! This is a great place to learn the art either for self defense, competition, or even to just get in shape. I highly recommend.
Anytime I'm in the St. Joesph area I make sure to stop in at Copa. Everyone is friendly, and you get world class instruction from a competition tested champion black belt.
Copa is the place to train in the Niles area.
Best curriculum and instruction for children in the area. Mack and the other instructors helped guide our son to the IBJJF Pan Kids NoGi Championship and #1 ranking in the world. A hidden gem!
dropped in while in the area for work. ‘Mack the Knife’ and his team offered great rounds and instruction. It’s always nice to get some quality dedicated judo reps in during drilling. This is a great room and would recommend to anyone.

Coach “Mack”, Mark Daly, and his team of instructors do a phenomenal job teaching and mentoring. Coming from the military, brotherhood/sisterhood is the driving force in being effective in every facet, you’ll find that same camaraderie at Copa BJJ Niles. Lots of class options and times. Great group of people that train there. Everyone’s positive and want the best for you. Try a few classes, you won’t regret it.

Awesome group of people... Great for brand new people wanting to learn BJJ or just a way to have fun working out and losing weight/ getting in amazing shape. There is nothing like grappling cardio.
Everyone will help you learn the moves and the awkward positions. Its very awkward for everybody so dont worry about looking stupid... We all look stupid every single day.
Again. whether you just want to learn a martial art, lose weight, be a full blown competitor ... this is the spot! Message or call mack and come try it !

I’ve trained at a couple different gyms, Copa BJJ Niles is by far the best. Not only is the Professor, Mark Daley (AKA “Mack the Knife”) amazing, but the other instructors that teach are as well. Hard training, super competitive jiu jitsu, and a great team atmosphere. All you have to do is go once and you’ll see for yourself how addicting it is. Get in and train! 🤙🏼
