City Jiu Jitsu Academy

"Just celebrated my son's birthday at City Jiu Jitsu Academy. I wouldn't have thought a jujitsu gym would be such a hit with the kids but Royce and Danny really do a great job keeping everything fun and light. The teachers led the kids through some basic warmups and a class, which the kids really got into. Then after a break with the pizza and cake, they spent the rest of the time running around being kids, playing games on the mats. This morning at the bus, another parent said their kid was talking about how much fun he had. So five stars, well earned."

"Welcoming and well-run academy in Long Island City. I attended as a visiting drop-in student and was made to feel very welcome. They were very clear about their particular processes and etiquettes, which put me at ease as a stranger in their school. The tuition was high quality and well structured, with specific constrained learning sparring to reinforce the lesson before open sparring at the end. The gym was spotlessly clean and there are lockers in the changing rooms, plus showers and drinking water fountains. Would recommend to anyone in the area and would love to return if I am in the neighbourhood again."

"If you have any interest at all in jiu jitsu you absolutely must visit this brand new Long Island City gem. My son and I joined 2 weeks ago when the academy first opened its doors. We both joined with no experience. Professor Royce and Professor Danny welcomed us both like we were family and immediately made us feel welcome. After just two short weeks we feel like we are part of family and something bigger and are happy to see that family growing fast. The culture being created is amazing. The instruction is first class whether it’s my 10 year old son or a 40+ year old white belt or an experienced practitioner. Even my 7 year old daughter loved her trial class because the energy of the instructors is simply infectious. Professor Royce and Professor Danny have done a tremendous job with City Jiu Jitsu Academy. Come by and join the family and experience everything this challenging yet rewarding martial art has to offer. You will not regret it."
