Renzo Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Wall Street

"RGA Wall Street has world class instruction for kids and adults. An all inclusive place no matter age, size, gender, or athletic ability. The kids program is outstanding and great for neurodiverse kids. I’ve seen amazing increase in my sons body awareness, attention, confidence , coordination and strength all thanks to Professor Luca, Edgard, Mathaus Fred and coach Daniel. It’s truly a first class team with a direct Gracie lineage. Renzo Gracie comes personally from time to time. Cleanliness, safety and respect are first priorities and define the culture."

"Two thumbs up to Renzo Gracie Wall Street!! My son started training here in December 2023, and it has been a tremendous experience. The program goes far beyond just teaching Jiu Jitsu—it instills discipline, supports both mental and physical well-being. Professor Edgard and Coach Luiza are incredible with the kids. They are patient, motivating, and genuinely care about each student’s progress. They’re not just teaching techniques; they emphasize values like respect, discipline, focus, and perseverance. Highly recommend Renzo Gracie Wall Street!"

"The Four Seasons of Jiu-Jitsu Gyms. - 3 kids classes (3:45-5:45pm) - 5 adult classes (6:00am - 7:00pm) - Clean - Spacious - Two islands of mats: large and small - Men's Locker Room has 51 lockers, 5 showers, 4 sinks and 4 bathroom stalls. Staff: welcoming and accommodating (Daniel, Gabriel, Fabian - Wednesdays) Instructors: Luca Atalla, Fred (Wed) The Class: - Warmly greeted by the instructor (handshake/hug). - Light Warmup/Stretching - Technique Demonstration and Drilling - Live Sparring (optional) My Experience: - The vibe I got from this school is that all students are welcome and that safety and helping your training partner improve were priority. During the partner drills, the instructor would float about the room spot checking for flaws, addressing any imperfections, and answering questions. Before sparring, the instructor offered everyone the option to leave early if we had to go, stay and observe, or participate in live sparring, whether it was just one round or all of them. The instructor discouraged two new beginners from sparring with each other. If a beginner wanted to participate, the student needed a sponsor, a 3 striped white belt or higher, that voluntarily guided and mentored you through the process. During the rolls, the instructor walked around the mats and intervened if neighboring pairs of students were about to collide or go off the mats. Summary: very safe and fun learning environment, both from the staff and the other classmates."
