Vladimir Krause (Vladomeer)
"I went down to the shore for my first anniversary with my wife and as always: GOTTA TRAIN. (thank you beautiful wife) I paid a visit to academy of JJ to get my fix in and let me just say: this is the spot if you’re training down by the Toms River/Jersey Shore. Friendly staff, very insightful coaching, and just an overall fantastic culture at this gym. Their facility is clean and they have a shower so you can wash after some great rolls. Shoutout to Professor Kory for teaching class when I dropped in. I learned a lot of really cool, subtle tricks to improve my game. He’s a great professor!"
Patrick Chaves
"This gym is fantastic!! The gym is large, the mats are immaculate (the mats are brand new and the environment is clean), the people are welcoming, and the instruction is excellent! I was looking for a place to train on vacation and they were so nice to welcome me in. I did a Tuesday morning at 6 am and there were a lot of people! The rounds were INCREDIBLE and coach Vinny was an awesome teacher!! This is an amazing gym"
Manny Santiago
"Friday, 11 am classes in-depth instruction. Rounds are very technical with a variety of looks. Instructors are all amazing, support their students and always giving feedback during live training. Top notch school."
