Marcos Alejandro Pagliere-Torregrosa is a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu practitioner.

He had his first experience with Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and MMA in Bayamon, Puerto Rico where UFC 8 took place. Torregrosa began training in July 1999. Once he began, he knew this was his calling and gave it his all, training two practices a day. Torregrosa was awarded a black belt under Cassio Werneck.

In 2008 Torregrosa became the head instructor at Capital City Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. While teaching at Capital City Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Torregrosa developed Yemaso Jiu-Jitsu, a style of Jiu-Jitsu designed to bring success at competitions. Torregrosa founded Team Yemaso in 2009, which consisted of a small team of his best students. Team Yemaso, found much success in local, regional and world tournaments. Team Yemaso has acquired many team titles in a short period due to the focus and efficiency stressed in class.

In May 2011 Torregrosa became a member of Team Lloyd Irvin and, in August 2011 decided, to open his own Brazilian Jiu Jitsu school in the Sacramento area.^[1] As of 2013 Torregrosa no longer affiliates himself with any team other than Yemaso Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and in February, Torregrosa and Team Yemaso made history and became the first team in the greater Sacramento, CA area to win an International Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Federation (IBJJF) Team Title.
