Learn BJJ – Brazilian Jiu Jitsu from the source!

Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is a devastating fighting and grappling art developed by the Gracie Family of Brazil. While it contains many stand-up throws, takedowns and self-defense techniques that can finish a fight, it is most famous for its extremely effective ground fighting techniques.

At Gracie NJ Academy students of all ages and gender learn from renowned certified Gracie Jiu Jitsu Back Belt Instructors.

No experience is required. Everyone is welcome! We offer complete classes for men, women, kids and teens.

Classes Available

  • Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Fundamentals – Gi

    This class is a traditional and essential training for all Gracie Jiu-Jitsu students. Using the gi or kimono (traditional training suite) students learn techniques to apply leverage and submissions to defend themselves. In order to facilitate the gradual development of our students, this is the ideal class for those starting their training journey and a great opportunity for all students – white to black belts – to perfect their skills and technique.

  • Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Intermeadiate/Advanced – Gi

    This class allows for the continuation of the student’s development. Once students have built a strong foundation through the Fundamentals classes and have acquired a basic knowledge of body mechanics and self-defense, this class gradually and naturally becomes another option for the practitioners seeking to “flow” and advance. The gi or kimono is also the tool used in this class.

  • Submission Essentials

    This class breaks down each submission application and presents details on how to put powerful combinations together in order to refine student’s skills and knowledge. It is recommended to students of all levels.

  • No Gi Grappling

    This class is much like the Gracie Jiu-Jitsu class; however the gi or kimono is not worn. Instead participants wear shorts and rash-guards. Distribution of weight, application of submission holds and grips are important aspects approached here. Exclusively “No Gi Grappling” classes are traditionally held during the summer months (Middle of July through Labor Day) and on a regular basis through our MMA and No Gi Grappling classes.
