I found Bronx Jiu Jitsu on Instagram after looking for some jiu jitsu training in the Bronx. Though…read moreI train mainly in Westchester I decided to come to a seminar hosted here and had a wonderful time. Bronx Jiu Jitsu is so professional, respectful, welcoming and supportive of all jiu jitsu practitioners. Being new to the sport I was anxious about being in a training facility with high level and high ranked practitioners. The people who work and train here are nothing but kind hearted and welcoming. I have done drop ins and trained in other gyms like the UFC Gym in White Plains and was unfortunately not met with the same level of respect and integrity. This gym is all about giving you the tools and skills you need to be successful. This is the type of facility that produces competent fighters and practitioners of the sport. I will be returning should they host any more seminars or events.

I'll start the review off by stating that I love Bronx Jiu Jitsu and if you live/work in the area…read moreand are considering trying it...you definitely should. In the 4 or so years before walking into BXJJ in August 2018 I had taken somewhere between 5 and 10 jiu-jitsu classes at about 4 different locations between DC and NY. Despite feeling like this was something I really wanted to do, I was never able to find the right place until BXJJ. This review is going to be broken down into what I feel are the relevant aspects of what makes this place special: COST: You will not find a better bang for your buck in terms of cost per class than this. Jiu-jitsu can be an expensive pursuit, especially if/when you really get into it (tournament fees, gis, rash guards, special seminars, etc.) so it's a huge benefit to take classes at a gym that never makes you feel like you're being price gouged. That applies to both the regular membership rates as well as the really, really fantastic introductory month specials. ATMOSPHERE: One of the issues I had with the previous places I tried to take jiu-jitsu classes was the stiff atmosphere. Yes, martial arts is serious business, but I'm also a firm believer in occasionally laughing. You'll find that everyone from the instructors to the students is more than willing to laugh at themselves and each other and that makes it an easy place to be a newcomer and ask questions. At the same time, it is also a really welcoming place where many of the people you meet take tons of classes there and, as a result, are totally comfortable helping you out one on one when something that is taught in class goes over your head. TEACHING: Phenomenal. One of the things that I most appreciate is that you never feel like you are part of a jiu-jitsu factory. Instructors take the time to learn your name/about you and they take care in observing everyone when it's time to roll so that you get personalized/actionable feedback. I can credit so much of my progress not just to what we are learning within the structure of the 1 hour class, but to the time instructors willingly take to break stuff down with me after class (related, it helps that they try not to pile classes on top of one another back to back to back so there is room for that). FACILITIES: The mats/training area does not stink. This might seem like a little thing, but...go to enough jiu jitsu gyms and trust me you will appreciate this.

Signed the family up to take classes at the Relson Gracie Academy on Tremont avenue and I can tell…read moreyou that coaches Mike and Rich are both great. Mike Casey is the head coach/owner and an old school Gracie guy.. as real as it gets.. a black belt under Relson Gracie.. super knowledgeable and a great motivator with a no nonsense demeanor. As a beginner I can tell the that the core/fundamental program is awesome.. It is real authentic Gracie Jiu-jitsu.. real combat/ street self defense. The Core program can honestly be done wearing no gi as it is all about real world scenarios, real Gracie style street combat that could save your life. Some schools have gotten away from original Gracie Brazilian Jiu-jitsu and focus entirely on "sport Jiu-jitsu" which has tons of rules and is all about getting points in tournaments.. this is not that school.. although some of the guys do compete.. The blue and higher ranking belts in the school are also very helpful and a great group of guys. Another great thing is that Mike gives you the lesson plan for the whole year, so you know exactly what to expect every class.. The facility is always clean, floor and wall padding always clean, two bathrooms, water fountain etc.. and I always find street parking. The kids program is great for the little ones learning to grapple and is primarily a bully defense program. It is very safe as they are not allowed to do submissions until they reach teenage years and enter the adult program. Overall highly recommended
