What Our Students Say
Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.
Ashley Schwartz
"I have two sons who attend MSBJJ. My oldest has special needs and I can’t say enough positive things about all the coaches and staff. They go above and beyond to make my boys feel confident, accepted, and valued!"
Ryan Cole
"I typically train in North Carolina but I dropped in while visiting because a buddy trains here. Great guys in the class and the professor was very knowledgeable. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking to learn!"
Joe Copeland
"I'm a grappler out of Syracuse, NY, and am in camp right now getting ready for comp season. Decided to drive out to Albany to check out Matt's place and get some hard rounds in. From the moment I walked in everyone was very friendly. It was 10 minute rounds with some high-level studs and I got the work in I felt was needed to supplement my normal regimen. Between situational passing rounds, circling up and discussing technique after, and the general camaraderie the members have with each other, I had a great time. If you're thinking about dropping in, it's worth whatever drive you have to make. If you're looking to learn jiu-jitsu in the Albany area, this is the only spot worth going to. Oh yeah, no drop-in fees. So what're you waiting for?"
Ashley LaVine
"Both of my boys attend MSBJJ! We cannot say enough positives about this academy. Coach Ellis, Coach Ethan, Coach Chris and Coach Terry are absolutely incredible. The patience that they have with all students there is absolutely incredible. Coach Ellis knows what his students are capable of and pushes them to go past their limit. He gets to know all of his students. They treat everyone who attends like gold! We are lifelong members!"
