What Our Students Say
Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.
Corey Patterson
"If you’re in South NJ and want to train MMA, not just Jiujitsu, SJBJJ is the place to be. They have it all. It is safe, fun, and you will learn skills that will benefit you for the rest of your life. Not to mention, I guarantee you will meet people who will become some of the closest people in your life. If you have children ages 3 and up, I’d highly recommend the kids program."
Katie Palmerchuck
"For many people the decision to enroll their kids in a martial art is something that the kids may try for a year or two, but sometimes you're lucky enough to see them find something they enjoy. But if you're REALLY lucky, you enroll your kids in a place that becomes your extended family and home away from home. You find a community of people from all walks of life who put the real world aside for a short time to work towards common goals. You watch your kids grow and develop in a sport, but more importantly in life. That's SJBJJ. That's a hobby we thought we'd check out, that turned into a shared family experience, that has grown with us for almost a decade."
Luke LeMire
"The REAL South Jersey BJJ. One of the coolest things about this gym is that they are family owned/operated and make every student feel like a part of their family on day 1. Safe, clean and welcoming environment for all ages and levels, beginner to highly advanced. Prof Bongiorno and the other coaches are top notch professionals with decades of knowledge and experience. Outside of Jiu Jitsu, the gym offers full MMA, wrestling, kickboxing and fitness classes, so there's something for everyone. They are the real deal."
Amy Mallon
"We’ve been part of this Jiu Jitsu school for just under 2 years now, and it has been an amazing experience for our son. He’s loves coming to class. We have 5 class options a week and we can go as little or as often as we are able. The instructors are not only skilled and professional, but also incredibly patient and encouraging with the kids. They make learning fun while also teaching discipline, respect, and confidence. We’ve seen so much growth in our son both on and off the mat. We love being a part of this community—highly recommend to any parent looking for a supportive and positive martial arts school!"
