From the reviews
The owner nearly choked me unconscious. 10/10 would go again. Real talk best place to learn bjj. Supportive environment, clean, you learn good stuff that's been tested in major fight organizations.

Passing through my hometown to visit family, I dropped in on a Monday night class at Asbury Park Jiu-Jitsu, and had a great time. Prof. Andrew taught a no-BS class that was comprised of a warm-up run, BJJ-specific movement drills, and a fairly-fundamental technique, but with some neat details I hadn't seen before.
I spend summers on the Jersey shore. I bought a ten pack and trained here several times over the course of the summer. I love the place.The culture is really positive and the instruction is incredible. K Rod and Ian are really high level guys .
New to BJJ? Start at Asbury Park Jiu Jitsu
Asbury Park Jiu Jitsu comes up as a beginner-friendly gym, going by their listing and members’ reviews. If you've never rolled or set foot on a mat, that's exactly who a good beginners program is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit or flexible to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and coaches scale the intensity to you. Second, you won't be thrown into hard rolling — reputable gyms build fundamentals (positions, escapes, and basic submissions) for weeks, live rolling eases in gradually, and tapping early keeps every roll safe. Third, all levels really are welcome — ask about a dedicated beginners or fundamentals class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out, and leave your ego at the door. Most gyms are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
Your first BJJ class at Asbury Park Jiu Jitsu
Nervous about walking into a BJJ gym for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good coaches expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling basic positions and escapes with a partner — not hard sparring. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: athletic wear you can move in (or a gi if you have one); you'll train barefoot on the mats. What to bring: water and a mouthguard if you have one — many gyms lend a loaner gi for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gi (or a rashguard and shorts for no-gi) and a mouthguard. Live rolling eases in gradually, once your fundamentals are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the coach. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
