The MATS - Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Academy

“We have really enjoyed MATS Jujutsu dojo. My son is 11 years old and looks forward to his training Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Coach James is patient with the kids, but also very educational and helpful in their learning. I could see a big difference in my son and just a month and a half of him going here. You won’t be disappointed in getting your kid involved in jiu-jitsu.”

“Cardo is a black belt of mine and he makes the time to still come train with us from Texas here in nyc. Not only is James a tremendous help on and off the mat, he has spent many years learning ways to help people from every walk of life from beginners to advanced. Regardless of your level or reason to train you would be wise to invest in becoming a member.”

“I began training at The Mats back in March. As a complete newbie starting a new hobby at 30 felt daunting, but James made it feel less intimidating & like it was attainable for me to do, even after I got pregnant with my 4th! Now my 5 year old son trains there too & we plan to put our daughters in when they’re old enough in the future! It helps that James also works as a chiropractor & knows the body intimately which is extremely beneficial during training & recovery!”

“This gym is one of the most clean and professional gyms I have ever been to. The professor is brilliant and gives you a masterclass in jiu jitsu. Very educational and very friendly place. I did get destroyed by the professor despite having 70 lbs on him. This place is an amazing gym. Not to mention the facilities are really nice here.”

“Dropped in for an open mat… great rolls and professional atmosphere. The head coach James is super welcoming and proficient. Definitely recommend.”
