Park Slope Academy of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu

"I have only been training here for the last 7 weeks but I can already say that it’s been one of the best decisions I’ve made. The instructors are top-notch—extremely knowledgeable, patient, and passionate about teaching. Whether you’re brand new to BJJ or have years of experience, you’ll feel welcomed and challenged here. What stands out most is the culture. The team is respectful, humble, and supportive, and there’s a strong emphasis on both learning and safety. Classes are structured in a way that builds your technique step-by-step, and there’s always time for live rolling. The gym is clean, well-maintained, and has a great atmosphere. If you’re thinking about starting BJJ or looking for a new gym, I can’t recommend PSA BJJ enough. It’s more than just a place to train—it’s a community."

"Loved training at this place. The guys that train here vary in skill level, so there’s always someone to roll with whether you’re new to Bjj or have a solid amount of experience. The coaches here are also world class, Marc and Steven both know the ins and outs of Bjj to a very high level and show very fun and crafty techniques during the classes. If you’re near the park slope area and curious about training, definitely give this place a shot."

"PSABJJ has become my second home! When I turned 40, my midlife crisis took charge and I decided to face my fears and insecurities and try something new and challenging, both physically and mentally. For some reason that was BJJ. And PSABJJ could not have been a more perfect place to get started. Coaches Crocilla and Adami are kind and welcoming and they have created a warm and cooperative community here. Two years in, I’m at the school everyday for class, whether for BJJ or Muay Thai. I love the physical and mental challenges I’m presented with on a daily basis but also just love chatting with all of the great people at the school! Can’t recommend this school enough, whether you’re young or old, in great shape or in need of physical improvement, it’s a wonderful place for all!"

"Training here is nothing short of exceptional. From Professor Marc, Professor Steve, and Professor Jose to Coach Greg and Coach Jeff, every instructor embodies excellence, passion, and an unwavering commitment to their students. The attention to detail is second to none—when you step onto the mats, you're expected to train with focus and dedication. Even as a complete beginner, I’ve felt supported every step of the way. The instructors ensure that every technique is executed with precision and safety, creating an environment where learning thrives. What truly sets this place apart is the culture—everyone, from the newest student to the most experienced practitioner, is eager to help one another grow. This spirit of camaraderie and excellence comes straight from the top, shaping a school where every session is a masterclass in skill, discipline, and community. If you're looking for world-class instruction in an atmosphere built on respect, dedication, and a passion for the art, this is the place to be."
