What Our Students Say
Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.
Zach Izzo
"This is an amazing place to train BJJ! The coaching is top-notch: they show techniques that really work, pay attention to important details without getting lost in the weeds, and welcome questions from students when you can’t get a technique to work. The higher belts are extraordinarily helpful as well. On top of the curriculum, I’ve learned so much from asking my training partners questions about concepts and techniques. In addition to great instruction, the community here is great. Everyone trains hard but safely and it really feels like people are there to build each other up, rather than feed their own ego. It makes it easy to show up to class with such a welcoming environment. The facilities are clean and spacious and the cost is reasonable. I highly recommend this gym to anyone looking for a school in the area."
Wallace Kaserer
"Shane is the best BJJ kids instructor ever. My daughter has been at Princeton BJJ since 2020 and loves it. I wound up jumping in too and started training and it’s been awesome. Shane, Joe and John as well as the rest of the PBJJ crew have been great very patient and helpful. Staff are great and so are the students, friendly family style place to grow and learn in your BJJ journey."
Jeff Trainor
"The instructors are so knowledgeable and encouraging. I’m coming up to my 7th month of training at PBJJ and I am as excited to get to class as I was on the first day. If you’ve ever thought about trying Brazilian Jiu jitsu, this is the place to do it. Take care."
Megan Avery
"I am thrilled beyond words to have the opportunity to visit Princeton BJJ while traveling for work. I have heard such wonderful things about Emily and her entire team to include family-like environment and amazing vibes. I was greeted with such a warm welcome and can attest to those vibes. I was lucky enough to participate in a class taught by Emily. Incredible instruction with easy to follow concepts. I am a conceptual & analytical learner so appreciated Emily including the learning concepts that work for me along with the concepts that cover all types of learners. In my opinion, that is what makes the best instructors stand above the rest. Phenomenal instruction, great vibes, wonderful people, clean facility. It checks all of the boxes for a highly recommended academy. 10/10! I look forward to visiting again."
