853 Co Jiu-jitsu

“I had no experience with jiu jitsu before coming to 853. I had been very apprehensive being a beginner and nervous about being around others who have far more experience. The instructor was super helpful in walking me through everything I needed to know before my first class and made me feel comfortable in the space. Also the windows are a major plus as many studios in the area are more boxed in— you can tell there has been a lot of intentionality put into the space. Also, both instructors were top notch. Other students were super welcoming as well. Will be returning.”

“Came by and spoke to the purple belt owner Damian. Veey weird behavior from him. The whole place is very small and didnt smell too good. Dude wouldnt answery questions just kept talking about how much fun it is for him and he loves it. Like read a room i didnt want to talk about you i want to try jujitsu.”

“This academy might be small, but the quality of the instruction is top-notch. Professor Juan has over 12 years of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu experience and has trained under legends like Renzo and Gregor Gracie, and it definitely shows in his teaching. He’s super detailed and really takes the time to make sure everyone understands the techniques. What I really love about 853 Co is that Professor Juan trains with all the students. He makes everyone feel included and motivated, which creates a great vibe in the gym. Even though it’s a smaller place, the knowledge and skills you gain here are huge. Highly recommend for anyone looking to level up their BJJ in Brooklyn!”

“Professor Juan, Coach Fabian, and Coach Luis are wonderful instructors. They're always thinking of ways to help you improve your Jiu-jitsu & Wrestling. The gym environment is so welcoming and everyone's attitude is positive. If you're thinking about joining a BJJ gym, I would highly suggest coming to 853.”

“Hands down, 853 provides an unparalleled BJJ experience. The coaches and students create a remarkably supportive environment, demonstrating exceptional patience and genuine care for each other's development. What truly sets them apart is their dedication to student progression; every class feels like a one-on-one session because the entire team is committed to helping you improve.”
