Essential Jiu Jitsu

“I did the trial classes and a few additional classes and was not impressed. Pros are the place is clean, the classes are affordable, and some instructors are good. The cons though definitely outweigh. The cons would be the front desk guys are not welcoming/ friendly. They seem like the owners too. I’ve watch some instructors just stare while my child does things incorrectly and don’t say a thing. Lastly, there isn’t enough seating so I hope you find the floor comfy. And don’t sit in the wrong floor space because they’ll ask you to move.”

“Spent four days at Essential Jiu Jitsu led by World Champion JT TORRES and had an amazing experience. All the instructors and students were very welcoming. So many classes to choose from and each instructor is very detailed and knowledgeable! Everyone walks away from every class with something that can help their Jiu Jitsu level up! If you're in the New York City area this is the place to go! Looking forward to my next visit!”

“I have been training at this facility for a while now and it is simply world class. I have visited and trained at a number of jiu jitsu facilities over the years and nothing beats Essential Jiu Jitsu. From the instruction all the way to the cleanliness of the facility it is all top notch. To top it all off, the training partners are excellent and friendly. These are just some of the reasons I keep coming back from Canada to train here again and again over several years now. I can’t recommend this gym enough. Highly recommend!”

“I haven’t visited every BJJ gym in Westchester County but I have been to quite a few - Essential Jiu Jitsu is the premier gym in the area today. They consider everyone’s concerns and they do a great job of promoting a healthy environment. JT Torres and his team of high level instructors are phenomenal. Give them a chance and you’ll be happy”

“One of the best jiujitsu academies in the world. High-level training designed to transform you into a champion and welcoming staff will have you feeling like Essential is your second home. The facility is guaranteed to be the cleanest gym in the world. Ringworm and skin disease? Never heard of it. The entire gym is cleaned constantly and every counter is left spotless. If your thinking about starting jiujitsu, this is the place!!”
