"If you're looking for a beginner-friendly gym with a healthy, welcoming environment, this is 100% the place for you. The head instructor, Chad Vásquez, is one of the best and most accommodating coaches out there. He genuinely puts effort and care into each student’s growth, and he makes sure to drill the important fundamentals so you’re actually prepared and don’t just get wrecked during live rolls. The gym is clean, not toxic, and super supportive a great place whether you're just starting out or looking to sharpen your basics. Highly recommend check it out"

"I’m Ivan’s wife, and I just wanted to share how happy I was to see my husband living his dream of training Jiu-Jitsu in New York — and on our very last day here. Professor Chad was incredibly kind and welcoming, from the warm reception to the thoughtful gift at the end. It truly made the moment even more special. So grateful!"
Gabriel Philp
"I’ve dropped in a few times and always forget to review! I always try to drop in to other bjj gyms whenever I travel so have seen a fair share of instructors and gyms. Paxibellum is the best drop in experience I have ever had, and its not even close. Chad might be one of the best teachers I have ever encountered. I’m not even talking about bjj instructors, i’m talking about teaching anything. The way he breaks topics down, has very clear and repetitive vocal instructions, and visually demonstrates is top notch. Chad could probably teach anything, you’d be lucky to learn jiu jitsu from him."
Jason N
"I love training at this hidden gem of a gym, where the jiu jitsu is functional, the students are scrappy and the vibe is chill. Chad’s jiu jitsu is excellent and he teaches his classes in a supremely approachable manner. It won’t matter if this is your first class, or 500th, you will learn attacks and escapes that will work equally well against the higher belts and noobs. So if you want to learn how to fight, and have fun doing it, this is the place for you. Plus the morning classes are great if your evenings are full."
