Renzo Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Upper West Side

"Great instructors! Clean and safe environment. I visited with my 14 and 9 year old from Fort Lauderdale and was welcomed with open arms. Coach Gabriel, Professor Luca, Professor Mathaus and Coach Daniel are incredible. Thank you for allowing my kids to train for the week. They both enjoyed it and said they would definitely like to train there again."

"Renzo Gracie UWS changed my life. I’m a 52 year old man with a hip replacement. If you are of my vintage and/or have a similar impediment and you have ever wondered if this is for you I have an unequivocal answer for you: yes. Joining the UWS Renzo Gracie academy was the best decision I’ve made in terms of my mental and physical health. It’s a super supportive group of people from a broad variety of places, professions, and interests. My 10 year old son also attends and I am 100% pleased with his participation and development. The coaches for kids and adults are world-class and welcoming for veterans and newcomers alike. If you’re on the fence you should take the risk and come in. You likely won’t regret it. That being said, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is a very intense activity and a high intensity workout. You will be is very close physical contact for the majority of the class. It’s among the most exhausting and ultimately satisfying workouts you will ever have. If you love the first class, you might be hooked for life."

"Just got back into Gi training after like 10-15 years. Cool place. I do 6 am classes 2-3 times a week. Chill vibes and nice ppl. One of the top places I've trained so far. Tiago is a very patient and humble instructor - highly recommend!"
