Studio 1908 Jiu Jitsu by Miyao Brothers

“This is our absolute favorite place for jiu-jitsu! My child has truly fallen in love with the sport thanks to the amazing team here. The coaches are kind, structured, and incredibly approachable — creating a sense of confidence and safety that kids really respond to. The whole environment is warm and welcoming. There’s a strong feeling of mutual respect in every class, and no pressure around belts or unhealthy competitiveness. All the kids seem to genuinely enjoy being there, and my child always looks forward to class. The space is also great for parents — there’s a comfortable area to wait, or you can use the gym and get in a workout while your child trains. We’re so grateful to have found this place and highly recommend it to any family looking for a thoughtful, positive martial arts experience.”

“It’s hard to put into words how much Studio 1908 has come to mean to me and my family over the past year. From the moment I walked through the doors, I knew this place was something special. The instruction here is truly world-class. The coaches are not only incredibly knowledgeable and technical, but they also care deeply about each student’s progress—on and off the mats. Whether you’re training for competition or just trying to improve day by day, the attention and support you receive is unmatched. The community is another thing that makes Studio 1908 stand out. It’s welcoming, humble, and inspiring. People from all walks of life come together here to train hard and lift each other up. That kind of environment is rare, and it’s something I’m grateful for every time I step on the mats. One of the best parts for me has been watching my son thrive in the kids program. He’s learning discipline, confidence, and respect in a way that’s fun and engaging. Seeing him excited to go to class is something that fills me with pride. If you’re looking for a place that offers elite-level Jiu Jitsu instruction and a community that feels like family, Studio 1908 is it. I’m proud to be part of this academy and excited for the journey ahead.”

“Our child has been attending the Kids BJJ classes at Studio 1908 in Jersey City for a while now, and we couldn't be happier with the experience! From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere is incredibly welcoming and positive, making it a comfortable environment for kids of all ages and skill levels. The instructors are truly exceptional. They strike the perfect balance between discipline and fun, ensuring the kids are learning proper techniques while also enjoying themselves. They are patient, encouraging, and genuinely passionate about teaching Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. It's amazing to see how they manage to keep even the youngest students engaged and focused. We've seen such a positive transformation in our child since starting BJJ here. Not only are they learning valuable self-defense skills, but their confidence has skyrocketed. They're developing better coordination, discipline, and respect, both on and off the mat. Studio 1908 itself is a clean, well-maintained, and safe facility. The class sizes are just right, allowing for individual attention, and the other kids in the class are all very supportive of each other. It truly feels like a supportive community. If you're looking for a kids' activity that builds character, teaches practical skills, and provides a fun, engaging environment, look no further than Studio 1908's Kids BJJ class. We highly recommend it to any parent in Jersey City!”

“This place was beyond awesome. The instructors are so wholesome. I learned the basic movements and the 4 rules of juijitsu. Bo is super friendly and able to make me comfortable joining. I walked into a session of children rolling and it was so dope to witness first hand. The facility is super clean spacious. The energy is refreshing. No egos. Just work! Eager to grow and expand my skills under the Professors here!! The place also has a workout gym available for members which is super awesome as well! I’ll will be joining as soon as I get paid!”
