Melvin Pierce
"It's been a while, but I'm really glad to be back at Move Jiu Jitsu Academy with Russ. If you're thinking about getting your kids into martial arts or Jiu-Jitsu, Russ is the person to go to. He's located right on Shrewsbury Ave in Tinton Falls and is an awesome coach who knows how to demonstrate and explain the moves really well. Russ creates a friendly and encouraging atmosphere where everyone feels welcome. He not only teaches the techniques but also helps build confidence, discipline, and respect. Whether you want to get your kids started or you're looking to improve your own skills, Move Jiu Jitsu Academy Martial Arts Youth and Adult School is the perfect spot. I love it here!"

"Coach Russ’s room is warm and inviting. He is a fantastic coach that really knows how to break moves down and explain and show you. Even complex techniques he walks you through in a clear and concise manner. He is an amazing teacher. Everyone there is super nice and encouraging. I highly recommend coach Russ and Move Jiu Jitsu!"

"If you're looking to start or continue your Jiu Jitsu practice, 'Move' is the place for you! Russ is an amazing teacher with decades of professional experience. He meets you at the level that you're at and challenges you in ways you didn't think are possible. Outside of his knowledge base, he has created a beautiful community in his space. I highly recommend Russ and Move Jiu Jitsu Academy to anyone who is looking to level up in their practice!"

"Russ is a top notch instructor. His world class wrestling and BJJ accomplishments and connections speak for themselves. An inedible athlete, incredible competitor and champion - and more than that, a kind and wonderful human being. There is no way that Move will not be a total success. I have been in various combat sports gyms for 20 years. I have zero hesitation recommending this gym."
