What Our Students Say
Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.
Bryan Padilla
"This is honestly the best place for BJJ and has helped me out a ton! I’ve gone from knowing absolutely nothing, to having a foundation in BJJ. The professors are so helpful and caring. The students are very competitive, eager to learn, and will help you get better at your game as well. After training for 1 year, I don’t plan on stopping. Highly recommend this place for beginners and not only will you learn from this place, but you will be part of the family as well."
Nate Hyland
"Amazing place to train! Very welcoming atmosphere and great instruction. Highly recommend!!"
Rhyan Cardoso
"I have been at Renzo Gracie Newark since I was a teen and now that I am an adult my child will be the next generation to continue on forth. There’s a reason for that and it’s cause this gym is more than a gym, I found family in this place. Best instruction, best people to be around. Best atmosphere than any gym out there by far."
Kevin Etter
"Professor Matheus is welcoming and knowledgeable and has made an environment that is both competitive and supportive. The instruction was great and rolling partners of every level were respectful and talented. If you are looking for a place to train, Renzo in Newark is an incredible spot."
