"High quality and awesome jiu jitsu academy. If you live in the area it would be a huge missed opportunity to not come here and train. Super comfortable, chill and friendly environment that provides a great place to learn and get better quick. Joey and Nick are both great coaches and have dedicated themselves to running a world class facility. They do a great job prioritizing hygiene & safety and take no shortcuts in providing the absolute best conditions. They’ve set the bar pretty high. Do yourself a favor and check it out."
"I stopped by the gym while visiting from out of town. The gym owner, Joey was very welcoming and everyone at the gym was too. It's a very clean and safe environment. Tough training with kind people. I would highly recommend this place. I look forward to training here again soon!"
"I first met Joey and Nick almost 6 years ago and was delighted to know they opened their own academy. Their new facility is large, clean, friendly, and has a host of amenities for both adults and kids looking to learn Brazilian Jiu Jitsu or Muy Thai. The instructors are patient, and willing to go the extra mile to provide key details to your game. Whether you've been practising for a long time or just getting started, this academy has something for everyone. I strongly recommend learning a life-skill like BJJ, especially from the folks here who are highly skilled and make the game enjoyable."
"Elevate Jiu Jitsu is a phenomenal facility with a great training environment and even better coaching. I tried a No-Gi class and the coach Joey was very informative and took time to explain anything that I had questions with. I did an open mat session which was run by the other head coach Nick, and it was great time. Both times I felt safe, respected, and eager to come back. I strongly recommend this gym to anyone interested in jiu jitsu or muay thai in the Bergen County area. The facility itself is massive, very clean, and very well maintained."
