From the reviews
Joining Gregor Gracie’s Academy has been one of the best decisions I've made in my Jiu-Jitsu journey. From the moment you step on the mats, you’re immersed in a culture of excellence, respect, and constant growth. The coaching here is second to none.
I had an amazing experience at this gym! The Jiu-Jitsu instructors were top-notch, providing excellent guidance. The facility itself is beautiful and well-maintained. What I loved most is that this gym welcomes students of all levels, from beginners to advanced practitioners.
My child just joined a few weeks back, and he’s loving it (I might be even more thrilled!). This place is fantastic—so welcoming.The instructors are really knowledgeable, their teaching methods are excellent, and everyone is incredibly supportive.
I started training at Gregor Gracie Jiu-jitsu after the dojo I had been training at for 9 years closed. I, and a bunch of students from my old school were looking for a new place to train. We were looking for a school with the same vibe where everyone feels like family. This is what we found here at Gregor's.
New to BJJ? Start at Gregor Gracie Jiu Jitsu | Teaneck
Gregor Gracie Jiu Jitsu | Teaneck comes up as a beginner-friendly gym — noted on their own site. 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 Gregor Gracie Jiu Jitsu | Teaneck
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.
