"This school is amazing and the instructors are amazing. BJJ has helped me in so many positive in my entire life. Everyone down there is extremely friendly , and the best part, you learn the most effective martial art directly from the world class instructors."
John S
"I’ve been training at this school for a few months and my biggest regret is not signing up sooner. Jiu-jitsu has become a large part of my life and I have professor David and Angelica to thanks for it. I also want to thank all my grappling partners who have helped me along the way in my jiu-jitsu journey. For anyone out there on the fence about starting jiu-jitsu, no matter your age, Gracie NJ Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu & MMA Academy has it all. Various types of classes, clean mats, friendly people and instructors that care about their students safety and development."
Eugene Segeda
"Top notch instructors. Come learn original Gracie Jiu Jitsu as taught by Helio and Royler Gracie. Dave and Angelica are fantastic. Relaxed environment. Can accommodate professional MMA fighters to brand new enthusiasts. One of the best places to train in New Jersey. Mats are always packed. School just expanded, more mat space, bigger locker room, and new mats!"
Danny Fisher
"I have been training at the Gracie New Jersey Academy for almost five years. I can honestly say that joining the academy was one of if not the best decision I’ve ever made. You will not find more knowledgeable instructors than Professors David Adiv and Angelica Oliveira. They are some of the best people I have ever met and have a true passion for sharing their world class knowledge of Gracie Jiu-Jitsu. They provide a great atmosphere at the academy and welcome everyone who walks through their doors. Whether you are new to Gracie Jiu-Jitsu and just want to learn the martial art as a hobby, would like to learn self defense, or have goals of someday competing in both Jiu-Jitsu or mixed martial arts I can not recommend the Gracie New Jersey Academy enough."
