Jay is an awesome professor and clearly cares a lot about everyone who trains there. Also there are many higher belts who train here which was different than my last gym. Wish I was staying in the area longer so I could train here more, but I highly recommend!!

    you have GOT to try the 30-day free trial, I promise you won't regret it. NJ United MMA is simply…read moreincredible. The head instructor, Jay Hayes, and the program he has is the reason why I take a 30 minute trek from Jersey City to train Jiu Jitsu. I've tried several places around my area with an open mind, but the teaching and learning environment found at NJ United is just incomparable. The positive vibe in the room leaves all egos at the door and what you're left with is a great group of guys striving to help each other reach our full potential of the art. They have a great kids program and i've seen guys pick up the sport in their 40s and 50s. No matter your skill level, your first day will be fun and not as scary as it may seem. I was intimidated at the beginning but I'm glad i took that first step to a better life. Everyone knows how it feels to be the new guy, so the guys are always kind and willing to break down the basics. so don't worry! you won't get manhandled and mercilessly submitted on your first day. His one-on-one time with students is vital, and since day one I've felt at home. The way he can break down the little intricacies of every move, and his ability to pinpoint little corrections you can make are what make him a fantastic coach. His BJJ knowledge has brought in high level guys from all over the state, and i can see why. There's not one bad thing i could say about NJ United. The facility is clean, the staff is amazing, training partners are great, and the different skill levels are what make this place my BJJ home.

    Gorilla Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Academy is THE best Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu gym EVER!…read more Very home-like, heart-warming and super friendly gym. Always welcoming! A superb environment to learn new fighting skills, whether it's MMA, Muay Thai, BJJ Gi, or No Gi, or BJJ Competition.. AND Some more! ++ the knowledge is here! Proven by actions! and we all already know that knowledge is power! Professor Mike Wilson is a great professor and a highly skilled and knowledgeable instructor!!! Setting the new bar for high standards! In fact, Every instructor I've ever had in this gym is beyond amazing. Always dynamic and learning new things. Seminars are always on point! The amount of arsenals and ammunition (fighting knowledge) under Mike's belt is beyond amazing, and one can only hope some of it rubs on to you.. from which he has no problem teaching you any of his techniques. The Gym is top quality! Not only in its cleanliness thanks to Professor Mike Wilson who cleans the whole gym top to bottom DAILY, but also its Graffiti and art on the walls are phenomenal, with beautiful mats and protected walls and beams, and just protection all around. Also, another HUGE PLUS is that Rolling with partners is always safe! 99% of people here roll with consideration for their partners.... I Don't know the other 1% lol. But here, its all about improving technique! applying it gracefully without hurting your partner is THE Biggest plus you'll ever find in a BJJ Gym. After all, joining a BJJ gym is like joining family.. you gotta choose the right pack of wolves to roll with! or in this case, the right troop of gorillas! haha By far the best gym in the area! I drive and commute about 40mins to get to class... even though there are plenty of other gyms closer to where I live... that's how much I like this gym, the instructors, the environment, and the sparring partners. Join TODAY! You won't be disappointed! 5 stars is not enough!

    Incredible community, tremendous instructors, safe rolling in sparing culture, cleanest, most…read morehygienic gym around!

Not only are the instructors great but all of the attendees are too. I would recommend for anyone at any stage.

    North South is a fantastic place to train jiu jitsu. I have been a member at the school since July…read more2018. And it has had an incredibly positive impact across many facets of my life. The schedule has a well-attended 6 a.m. class for local commuters (it's one of the few times I know I can get on the mat) as well as competition classes and extra-curricular strength training and stretching classes. The school has cultivated a great community that supports all levels (and age groups) of jiu jitsu from high-level competitors to novices just finding the sport. Adam and Karen, the owners and head coaches, provide excellent instruction and truly care about their students. When I competed in a tournament in Manhattan, Adam went with me to coach from the rail. I was the only student competing that day and he still made time, away from his own family and commitments, to head into the city. Last, the kids program is great. The coaches create a fun atmosphere that is still conducive to learning and building their skills in a safe manner. If you're curious about training, I highly suggest checking out the school.
