Gracie Jiu-Jitsu NY

"I was recommended Gracie Jiu Jitsu NY by my coach in Australia and went over one weekend to train during my stay in NY. An absolute gem of a gym run by an extremely knowledgable instructor whos kindess off the mats surpasses even his immense understanding of the art of Jiu Jitsu. I was made to feel super welcome by the whole crew and had a great time training and rolling with some of the guys. Its a gym that feels like home and has a strong community to back it. I would recommend Gracie Jiu Jitsu NY to anyone looking to refine their skills or find a supportive community where you can feel safe to explore the sport. A big shout of to Mike for being a legend and for sharing in his love of Jiu Jitsu with us all, and for having me over the weekend. I had a blast. Until next time ✌️"

"First and foremost I’d like to say Mike Casey is absolutely amazing I am blessed to have the luxury of being affiliated with Watershed BJJ were I currently attend as a student in Fredericksburg, Va under Shawn Maines who is an absolute pleasure to call my coach, Mentor, & friend! Mike Casey had recently came to the Fredericksburg area and I was fortunate enough to attend a seminar and I’m am so grateful for the amazing knowledge that Mike was kind enough to share with everyone at the seminar! With the help of two absolutely amazing inspirational individuals in Mike a Shawn after 5 months of training BJJ I had recently decided to go out of my comfort zone an compete in competition in back to back weeks . I managed to get 2nd place in 130 pound No-GI & the following week I had to be bumped up to 154 pound division weighing roughly 120 pounds in the GI with all odds against me I managed to secure the submission with 9 seconds on the clock ! Needless to say if you ever have the opportunity take my advice and please do yourself a favor an seize the opportunity to train with the absolute best in the art ! Thank you Mike you are an absolute legend and a inspiration in my eyes 🙏🥋."

"Michael Casey is one of the most dedicated and insightful instructors I have ever met. Which is to say nothing of his BJJ pedigree, and the DECADES he has spent learning directly from the Gracie family. I cannot recommend training with Michael highly enough."
