"We have been part of the Renzo Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Northern Valley family since my daughter started training there at the age of 6, and I cannot recommend this place enough. From day one, the atmosphere has been warm, welcoming, and incredibly supportive. The staff, coaches, and fellow members make it feel like a true community, which is something rare to find these days. The kids' classes are exceptional. My daughter has not only learned valuable Jiu-Jitsu techniques but also gained confidence, discipline, and a sense of camaraderie. The coaches are outstanding—they are patient, knowledgeable, and know how to engage kids in a way that makes learning fun and effective. It's clear that they care about each child's growth both on and off the mat. As a parent, I also appreciate the fact that they offer adult classes, which are equally impressive. Whether you're a beginner or more advanced, the classes are challenging, but the coaches always provide clear instructions and individualized attention. It's an amazing workout, and a perfect balance of physical fitness and mental toughness. The adult classes are just as welcoming as the kids'—there's no intimidation, and everyone from beginners to seasoned practitioners helps each other out. If you're looking for a place that fosters a true sense of community, offers top-tier instruction, and provides a fun yet challenging environment for both kids and adults, Renzo Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Northern Valley in Northvale, NJ is the place to be. We are grateful to be part of this incredible team."

"I’ve been training at NVBJJ for just about 8 months now. Although I’m just as anxious walking in today as I was 8 months ago, I walk out of each class feeling blessed that I am able to learn from such humble, talented professors and students. I am especially grateful training with such strong, smart women who share their knowledge and experience. It is not easy. You’re working every part of fitness, mind and body. I have never trained any other martial art but Renzo Grace Northern Valley is everything I’ve heard - providing a level of discipline, developing confidence, presenting mental and physical challenges while offering unrivaled learning opportunities, and a network of support."
