From the reviews
I love Bronx Jiu Jitsu! All of the coaches are professional, patient, and dedicated to all of the students and their needs. Not only do they teach martial arts but they teach life lessons that the kids can use in their everyday life and make it fun! I am so happy I found Bronx Jiu Jitsu.
Bronx Jiu-Jitsu is a safe and clean place to train Jiu-Jitsu. I have been training proudly for over 8 years at BxJJ. I consider Professor Junior (the owner) to be my brother. The instructions I have received from Junior, Luis and Michael have been life changing to say the least.
Bronx Jiu-Jitsu is my all-time favorite place to be! I was welcomed to be part of a family that is well-knit, supportive, and caring. Obviously, I couldn't have learned so much without the help and support of my coaches, so the motivation and push to be greater and better is consistent while training here.
I was looking for a place to train and I randomly typed in BJJ in the Bronx and I found this school in 2018. I was going through a rough time and needed an outlet. I took the one month trial class and they were friendly and courteous, after my trial was up I knew this was the school to stay with.
New to BJJ? Start at Bronx Jiu-Jitsu
Bronx 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 Bronx 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.
