What Our Students Say

Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.

Nicholas Maxwell

"I love PBJJ! It has a very welcoming environment and I feel works on multiple levels, accommodating the hobbyist BJJ practitioner to the competition focused folks. Instructors are knowledgeable, well rounded and, most importantly, always evolving their teaching techniques. The kids classes are superb, instilling not only a strong foundation in BJJ, but also teaching important skills with the theme of the month. It feels like family when I and my special needs daughter come in. I couldn’t recommend PBJJ more!"

Zack Schooley

"My family trained a Princeton BJJ for over eight years and we'd still be there today if we hadn't moved out of the area. The environment is friendly and welcoming. The training partners are top notch. I will definitely be dropping in when I can."

Sasha Pohle

"I've trained for about 4 years at PBJJ and it's without a doubt the best place I've done jiu jitsu. All of the instructors are excellent and the atmosphere is welcoming and relaxed. As a woman, I value how many female instructors and students Emily Kwok has cultivated here. From talking to women who train in other parts of NJ, I can see that it's rare to have had the opportunity to meet and train with so many female black belts. At PBJJ you'll get the sense that your training partners and instructors really care, going the extra mile to give specific advice on anything from technique to injury recovery and getting ready for competition. I recommend PBJJ for new students as well as people with jiu jitsu experience."

Veronica Chmiel

"Full transparency, currently I am an instructor here, so yes I am partial. However, I am particularly picky about where I spend my time. You are the average of the 5 people you spend the most time with. Where I was at prior to PBJJ, that fact really sat with me internally. And I knew it was something in my life that had to be addressed. I did not like who I was becoming! And now, I have found my voice again! I am able to love and share my heart freely with others without keeping up a wall! If I can t be fully me, what s the point really?! PBJJ encourages one to be themself and improve self on and off the mats! The milieu is everything...caring, clean, all inclusive, and a really good family place to learn the gentle art!"
