Rodrigo Gracie Jiu-jitsu

I signed my daughter up at age 4 and wasn't sure what to expect but have grown to greatly appreciate the lessons taught. All of the instructos are very patient, especially at the start when she was shy. Everyone was willing to work with her as she became more and more comfortable and confident. We are moving away and will greatly miss the instructors. Hopefully we will find someone that lives up to the standards set by this team.

I visited 3 other big named jiu jitsu schools, including Gracie University, before I walked into this place and let me tell you that right away I knew this place was special. The school is immaculately clean. Very spacious. It offers kids programs for bully prevention. Everyone here is incredibly kind and friendly. The members all considered themselves a growing community of jiu jitsu practitioners. They're very much like a family. Personally, the best part for me is that I'm being trained by Rodrigo Gracie himself. A former PRIDE CHAMPION. Winner of the first ADCC tournament and a 6th degree black belt. And for the price, you can't find a place like this anywhere else. So, if you're looking for a great place with clean mats, great programs and friendly people then this is the perfect place. I recommend visiting the website and scheduling a free trial class. The coaches are very helpful and knowledgeable. Give it a shot, I promise you won't regret it.

I first trained with Rodrigo back in the 90s when he moved to New York. I trained with him for about 8 years, traveling into Manhattan to take his class and then to long Island when he was out there. I been doing BJJ since 1995, been a black belt since 2004 and have been lucky to have trained with so many top names and legends in the art of Brazilian Jiu jitsu. Rodrigo is at the top of this list! His knowledge and skill are among the most elite in the world, that goes without saying but he is a genuinely great guy as well. Humble, friendly and truly cares about seeing you progress in BJJ. I owe a whole lot of my development to Rodrigo. If you are looking for one of the best instructors/ grapplers in the the world, who also happens to be an incredibly nice guy, look no farther. I wish Rodrigo was closer to me, I'd still be taking classes with him when not teaching my own.

I was introduced to Rodrigo Gracie Jujitsu from a friend of mine when I moved from Chicago 2 years ago and it was a life changing and best decision I have made in my life. The brotherhood and instruction that Master Rodrigo provides is unmatched. I was welcomed by everyone including Master Rodrigo and felt like I belonged to the brotherhood immediately. The training and technique learned from Master Rodrigo is second to none and he has personally worked with me to make me better. The group of brothers that train there are amazing as well they constantly are looking to make me better and have helped me tremendously.
