Dave
"A great way to spend a Sunday morning in Renzo's Academy in NYC. Nice technical session and sparring, Professor was very welcoming, as were the students. Thanks all 🥋🙏👊"
Peter Zhegin
"I’ve visited a morning gi class taught by Jason at the academy while on a work trip to NYC. Enjoyed the class, felt looked after by students and the professor, enjoyed rolling!. WVery structured, creative, but with attention to fundamentals. Highly recommended, I’ll come over again when around in SF"
Carl Massaro
"This is the HQ of Team Renzo Gracie, and has been at the forefront of the BJJ scene in NYC since the 1990’s. This is the location of the famous “blue basement” where that created many world-class instructors, and MMA and BJJ world champions. With three floors, they offer gi and no-gi BJJ, Muay Thai, and MMA. As a Renzo Gracie black belt and fellow academy owner, I’ve been training here since the late 90’s. If you’re looking for top quality training in this part of Manhattan, this is the place to go."
Christopher Sawicki
"I stopped in for the Saturday class and it was very welcoming. I will admit these guys are tough rolls but that’s what you want if you want to get better. I will definitely be back. I am a member of Daniel Gracie Philly and I will say the hospitality runs in the family."
