From the reviews

Great Coffee! Excellent burritos! I have been taking the martial Arts courses and love them. Jason is an amazing instructor, baristo and cook a bushido black belt baristo. The coffee shop has an awesome atmosphere!

★★★★★ — Maintain, Feb 2024

I really hope that the town of Manhattan is as grateful for Bushido Mountain as I am. If you are not familiar with the term Bushido, look it up and learn the code of Bushido. Jason exemplifies, follows, and teaches this code in many ways and it is a great service to the community.

★★★★★ — J, Aug 2024

FYI, and alert, alert alert….This past Sunday 12/21 in Santa Monica California. I attended Professor Jason‘ Cruz’s seminar along with 25 other Jujitsu ninjas and it was absolutely an honor and a pleasure and an awesome learning experience so I promise my son, who also attended the seminar that one day soon we will go…

★★★★★ — Mr., Dec 2025

I had the blessing to be in a seminar taught at the school where I train with Sensei Jason and it was awesome. I remember the first time I met him and had the chance to spar with him (if you want to call it that), he wiped the floor with me.

New to BJJ? Start at Rickson Gracie Jiujitsu & Coffee House - Bushido Mountain Dojo

Rickson Gracie Jiujitsu & Coffee House - Bushido Mountain Dojo 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 Rickson Gracie Jiujitsu & Coffee House - Bushido Mountain Dojo

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.

BJJ is a contact sport. Ease in, tap early and often, listen to your coaches, and if you have any injuries or health concerns, mention them before class and check with a doctor if you're unsure.
