From the reviews
Best BJJ school in NJ!! Bill combines his background in wrestling with years of bjj training to make this a complete, well-rounded grappling school. Always higher-level belts on the mats for top notch instruction with competitive, yet, safe training. Plus, a friendly and welcoming environment to learn bjj.
BJJ Shore Academy is an outstanding place to train Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. I’ve trained here for about 9 years and it’s my second home. Working up north and driving 2 hours home is definitely tough but I look forward to going to get some hard rounds at BJJ Shore Academy.
I was down in Belmar vacationing and out of the number of schools down here, this one caught my eye and i decided to roll through on a Thursday morning. I checked out the 9AM HIIT class with Coach Micaela first to loosen up.
I’ve been training under Bill Scott for almost 2 years now. I can honestly say it’s been an incredible experience. The instructors are knowledgeable, approachable, and genuinely invested in helping every student improve.
New to BJJ? Start at Bill Scott BJJ Shore Academy
Bill Scott BJJ Shore Academy 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 Bill Scott BJJ Shore Academy
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.
