What Our Students Say

Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.

Michael LeDonne

"Amazing Instructors Eddie and Connor are top-notch and have experience on all levels they have am amazing team for everything “Jiu-Jitsu/ Kickboxing/ Wrestling” THEY TAKE IT TO THE NEXT LEVEL!! The best move I could have made for my son. His old academy was traditional Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. He is a competitor locally and across the US. He has been training since age 4, he is now 13 and has significantly improved skills during his one year of training here, he’s a different competitor. THE MATS DON’T LIE / NO NONSENSE AND NO DRAMA HERE."

Brandon Pazienza

"I started training at Transcend Grappling Academy over a year ago, and it was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. The gym has an incredibly welcoming atmosphere and everyone from beginners to advanced students makes you feel like part of the family. Professor Eddie and Connor are extremely knowledgeable and passionate about what they teach. Their attention to detail and ability to break down techniques make learning both fun and effective. Whether you’re new to grappling or have experience, I highly recommend this gym to anyone looking to train and improve."
