From the reviews
My 10-year-old son recently joined JiuJitsu Family Training Center, and we couldn’t be happier! Professor Toribio’s philosophy is perfectly reflected in the name — “family.” From day one, my son has felt encouraged, supported, and motivated to learn.
Professor John is a fantastic jiujitsu instructor for my kids. He’s always friendly and welcoming, making everyone feel at ease. His patient step-by-step teaching helps my kids learn effectively, and he balances fun with discipline. Plus, he engages with parents, creating a great community.
Hands down thee best place to learn REAL Self Defense.The facility is very clean and inviting.Great gym, great instructors.Gym also offers kids classes, and the instructors are all top notch. This place is a lot of fun, and has great people and atmosphere.Highly recommended.
I’ve been training here since January and it’s been an incredible experience. Professor John and Marcelo have a very specialized approach to teaching that really stands out. They take the time to break techniques down in a way that actually makes sense, whether you’re brand new or have experience.
New to BJJ? Start at JiuJitsu Family Training Center Secaucus
JiuJitsu Family Training Center Secaucus 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 JiuJitsu Family Training Center Secaucus
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.
