Sparkle Peters
"One of the best schools for BJJ out there , been in a lot of toxic martial arts environments and this place is a breathe of fresh air everyone is welcome. amazing kids classes as well . Attentive coaches and a great family like atmosphere"
Bret Funk
"Love this gym. Great people, great instructors, great Jiu Jitsu. I have been a student at many different gyms (three just during blue belt!) but NorthSouth really is a special gym. They have a lot of bjj classes as well as classes supplemental to Jiu Jitsu such as yoga, strength and conditioning, comp, etc. The vibe is ego free and very friendly to newcomers and folks of all shapes and sizes. My parents visited recently and mother who was a teacher for 40+ was *very* impressed with the quality of instruction. If it is good enough for Mrs. Funk then I promise it will be good enough for you. Come visit us sometime."

"Was in the area a couple days and wanted to get some rolls in! The environment is what a Bjj gym should be! Positive, confidence building and learning. I’m in New Jersey from time to time. When I’m in Jersey this is my home gym! Much love from Texas!"
James Ricci
"I can't recommend North South BJJ highly enough. The coaches are exceptionally skilled, patient, and truly dedicated to helping every student progress. The atmosphere is very welcoming and supportive, making it a fantastic and comfortable place to train. The gym is always clean and well-maintained. If you're looking to train jiu-jitsu in a positive and motivating setting, this is the place to be."
