Jiu Jitsu North Jersey (formerly Otimo BJJ)

“Absolutely love Jiu Jitsu North Jersey! Chad has done an incredible job with the kids program, we have both of our boys enrolled in addition to my niece. For those parents out there looking for a program that will reinforce self defense, discipline and respect look no further. Kudos to Chad and the coaches, your patience and commitment makes all the difference for these kids. Can't wait to see what's in store for next year.”

“I've been training with Coach Chad at JJNJ for over 10 years (since I was in second grade wrestling), and I can't speak highly enough of his instruction. He’s not just a great coach but also a fantastic mentor who has built an amazing community at the gym. Under his guidance, I’ve developed my wrestling and jiu-jitsu skills more than I ever imagined. What truly sets JJNJ apart is the opportunity to grow beyond just training. I've had the privilege of coaching under Chad, which has deepened my understanding of the sport and sparked a passion for helping others improve. If you're looking for world-class instruction and a supportive, tight-knit environment, JJNJ is the place to be.”

“I am new to jiujitsu and am having tons of fun learning various skills with my team/classmates. The culture is great. Regardless of your age or belt, people show up with humility. I was training with several purple belts and they were very supportive of my growth. The goal for Coach Chad is to build a community where everyone is pulling/pushing/challenging each other to grow together. More importantly, Coach Chad makes emphasis on easy:gentle sparing to make sure that no one gets injured. It’s a safe and fun environment that fosters brotherhood. I highly recommend those who are interested.”

“Training for a little under 2 years I’m very thankful for coach chad and every one at jiu jitsu north jersey. The detail and care he teaches with makes it easy and fun to learn. Everyone is very welcoming, if you’re on the fence about joining don’t think just do! You won’t regret it.”

“If you want to start, continue, or find a great BJJ dojo, this is the place! Professor Chad is amazing and creates a fun and safe environment to learn and practice his teachings. 10/10 would recommend! Thank you for creating such a place for people like myself, Chad.”
