Anderson Campos
"I took my son to train at Garden State Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu today, and he absolutely loved it! The atmosphere was energetic and welcoming, making it a great place for kids to learn and grow. Coach Julian is fantastic—he keeps the training high-level while also making it fun and engaging. You can tell he truly cares about his students and their progress. If you’re looking for a top-notch BJJ academy with great instruction and a positive vibe, this is the place to be. Highly recommend!"
Katie Littlepage
"My 4-year-old LOVES GSBJJ! He learns new skills and has a lot of fun playing “jiu jitsu games.” His confidence has grown, as well as his self esteem and self control thanks to this school. Chris and Julian run an excellent program for kids. They are kind, patient, and hold the kids’ attention really well. I highly recommend!"
Jennifer Mulè
"My son started 1 year ago at age 8. After trying different programs, this program was truly the best fit. Chris and all coaches go above and beyond to make this a positive environment for kids to learn. My son loves learning here and has finally built up the confidence to believe in himself and stay focused and determined to keep growing. Alana is a wonderful resource and always willing to help! This program also offers more opportunities to grow as a community off the mat and become a real part of the team. Highly recommend sending your child here!"
Chef JuniorC
