Excellent Martial Arts School Our experience with this martial arts school has been absolutely incredible. My child is enrolled in the jiu-jitsu classes, and we couldn’t be happier with the results. The facilities are outstanding: always clean, well-organized, and designed to ensure the safety and comfort of the students. From the very first visit, you can see the dedication they have to maintaining a professional and welcoming environment. The staff is wonderful. The assistant is always kind, helpful, and willing to answer any questions with patience and a smile. This makes both parents and students feel welcome and valued. The instructors are extremely professional, highly skilled in jiu-jitsu, and exceptional at teaching. They are attentive and take the time to work with each student, ensuring they understand the techniques and feel motivated to improve. In terms of benefits, this activity has been transformative for my child. Since starting, they have developed greater organization and focus in their daily life. I’ve noticed significant improvements in their neuromotor skills, agility, and self-confidence. Additionally, jiu-jitsu has taught them discipline, respect, and the importance of consistent effort—values they now apply not just in class but in everyday life. I highly recommend this school to any family looking for an enriching activity for their children or even for adults interested in learning martial arts. It’s a place that fosters physical, mental, and emotional growth for every student. We’re so grateful to have found this gem!

Started taking class with Jefferson (the handsome fellow in the first pic) a couple months ago. Came in totally new and out of shape. Jefferson has done a great job walking through techniques in a controlled space. The space is clean and well maintained. The staff(shout to Norma and Aaliyah) are friendly and personable. If you’re interested in trying out bjj I cannot suggest this place enough!

Jefferson and his team excel at guiding students through the learning process, ensuring that each step builds on the last. Their expertise and dedication are truly unmatched. When I started, I had little to no experience, yet I never felt out of my depth. The supportive environment they create has deepened my appreciation for the art. I highly recommend anyone interested to give it a try—it's a transformative experience.

Started doing BJJ a few months ago here at NYC BJJ Academy, with Professor Jefferson and couldn’t be more satisfied/happier. The professor if the man, great teacher on and off the mat. One of the best things about this gym is the community. Everyone’s very welcoming and supportive no matter what your skill level is. Got a couple of my buddies to join and the classes are a blast. I’m looking forward to coming here for years to come. Couldn’t recommend it more.

Stopped in for a class when I was in the area. This place is both welcoming, clean, and talented. If you are looking for a place to start your BJJ journey, they will take you in with open arms and you will walk out with confidence you never knew you had. Vitor is a great professor and if you are reading this, sorry I had to leave without saying goodbye!
