Team Jucao Berkeley Heights

"My daughter and I both go here. She loves it. I've passed on all the others in town over the years until the real deal came around. I'm so lucky to have these guys here. The kids love him like a grandpa and they learn the real moves safely."

"Great adult and kids programs. The staff at Team Jucao are so friendly, always making you feel like family. Professor Jucao is an amazing instructor and a privilege to learn from him. Fun, friendly and safe environment to learn jiu-jitsu."

"Professor Jucão is very humble and not one to brag about his accomplishments or his status as one of the most prominent instructors in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. He has helped develop some of the greatest BJJ practitioners and instructors. He is also one of the most respected instructors and competitors among his peers. He lineage is connected directly to the Gracie Family as he is a Black Belt under Prof. Carlos Gracie Jr. I am not a member of his academy, but as a black belt with 15+ years experience I can tell you as a professor, you couldn't ask for a more knowledgeable and competent teacher. His ability to transfer BJJ to students of all ages, levels, and backgrounds is unmatched. If you are thinking about starting BJJ, this is definitely the instructor for you. Aside from that, the facility is definitely clean and well kept. It is very welcoming and the staff is super professional. Seriously, you can't go wrong. Don't even think about it! You will not make a mistake. Enjoy the journey!"
