Copa Jiu Jitsu Niles is a Carlson Gracie Team academy in southwest Michigan, led by head instructor Mark "Mack the Knife" Daley, a 4th-degree black belt who received his ranks from Carlson Gracie Sr. and Jr. The school teaches gi and no-gi Brazilian jiu-jitsu for adults, with a fundamentals class for newcomers and a separate kids program. Kickboxing and Muay Thai sessions, judo drills and open mats round out the training, including a competition-focused open mat. Daley also trains law enforcement groups and teaches street self-defense combatives. The academy moved in 2023 to a larger facility with two mat areas, and it regularly hosts guest seminars with well-known names in the sport. Newcomers can try a class before joining.
