“Very fun and knowledgeable community, very calm and patient instructors. They do Gi and no Gi as well as Striking classes. There are new people as well as experienced ones, highly recommend. What I also like is that gym never gets too crowded, if you are fan of smaller groups.”

“I really enjoy the adult classes. Really good bunch of instructors. Not intimidating at all. Great studio and a really personable clientele. My 3 year old gets up every morning and asks “am I doing jiu-jitsu tonight?” He loves going! Clean and professional set up. Couldn’t recommend enough.”

“If you are looking for a great place to train BJJ in Northern NJ there is no better than Americana Jiu Jitsu. I've been a member since they opened their doors. Excellent Black and higher belt instruction for you and your family. Exceptionally clean facilities as well. I call it my home away from home with child and adult classes Monday to Friday with an open mat on Saturday. If you want to grow and learn in an awesome environment please come to Americana.”

“I highly recommend Americana! The instructors are excellent teachers, attentive and kind. My children have learned so much and consistently improve from week to week. I also feel that my children are safe. The instructors intervene quickly if they find them doing moves incorrectly or in a way that may harm their practice partner. This is important to me because they have been hurt when trying out another school due to lack of supervision and instruction. The space is also very clean and sanitary. Definitely come to Americana if you are interested in JiuJitsu!”

“The gym is breathtaking, both the appearance and welcoming demeanor. I appreciate that the school provides training for both self-defense and sport competition. Americana has many black belt instructors which makes it extremely unique. More importantly, the instructors are very effective in their teaching methodologies and spend time throughout class providing valuable feedback to students on the techniques taught. You can not go wrong trying out this gym!”
