Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.
Katie Podhola
"My daughter has been to several camps with NRJJ and absolutely loves it! Having peace of mind that she’s in good hands while having a blast is such a great feeling. The staff is great and very attentive, we will definitely be back!"
Victoria Knuth
"We personally love North River , our daughter has been training with them for about 6 months now. They keep them engaged, disciplined, and focused. Coaches are stern but caring. We did our very first camp and she came home excited and happy thrilled to be back the following day. ( for me , a must is not to have screen time / electronics all day long ) . They had movie time and guided activities , daily field trips and Jiu Jitsu / games. We are totally looking forward to enroll her for summer camp."
Holly Lee
"First time doing Spring Break Camp and signed up for the full summer camp Day 2 because my son loved it so much. Staff is so kind and Mandy went above and beyond helping my son get comfortable with participating in Jui Jitsu portion. Highly recommend!"
Andi Daniels
"I have had the best experience here. For someone new to this sport, I felt welcomed from the second I walked in. They are great with guiding me through the moves to help me develop skills. The encouragement provided helped me push myself outside of my comfort zone. I highly recommend them!"
