Bronx Jiu-Jitsu Jiu-Jitsu and Self-Defense Classes in The Bronx for All Ages

Came in because I was recommended to try the gym out. And might I say that I dont regret my decision at all. From my first class I was welcomed by everyone with open arms and learned alot, all in my first day. I plan on sticking around for a long time to come. Keep up the excellent work guys!

The Ortega brothers provide a safe haven in our neighborhood that is kid friendly, clean, and affordable. Bronx Jiu-Jitsu employs interpersonal skills such as communication, listening, assertiveness, self-control and positive thinking. Bronx Jiu-Jitsu is the perfect place to keep my child active.

If you enjoy the sport and the art of BJJ and you live in the Bronx, you're required to come in and join. I have known the brothers for years and have trained with them for 2, if you're into working out, community and family based training, and the thrill of agony come to BronxJiujitsu...

I am proud to fly the BXJJ flag anywhere I go and represent the school, team mates, and coaches because of the quality training provided here. Being a part of the team makes you continue to train hard in order to be a part of the family that continues to grow stronger. Thank you for creating such a terrific space to practice a beautiful art.

My children and I love it here. Amazing coaches and staff make you feel like you're family. I highly recommend this place for all young children and adults. Thank you Bronx Jiu-Jitsu for everything my children have learned and accomplished!!

Only great things to say about the summer I spent training at BXJJ. From the start I was treated like family by my coaches and fellow students, which motivated me to attend class as often as possible. Jiu Jitsu is much more than a sport to them, and in my experience there I learned a great deal. Everyone is extremely humble and dedicated not only to their personal journey with the art, but to helping those around them. I felt nothing but love, and I can't wait to return when I'm back in NYC.

Ever since I was a teenager I've always wanted to train in jiujitsu and I'm very happy I found this place. Junior and Pabs are exceptional instructors who are clearly very dedicated to the art. You feel welcome as soon as you walk through those doors and are embraced by a very supportive community. Again, very happy to have initiated my training here at Bronx Jiujitsu and look forward to continuing my training for as long as possible.

I started training at Bronx Jiu-Jitsu in August 2016 and I can honestly say it has been nothing but a positive experience. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu can be an intimidating experience for anyone at first, but both the coaches and the members will welcome you with open arms. The coaches at Bronx Jiu-Jitsu are dedicated, patient, and want to see you grow. My little brother also attends the teens classes and I have watched him become not only a strong and confident fighter, but also a strong and confident person. If you are looking to learn Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, this is definitely the place to go!

When I decided to do jiu jitsu I visited many schools, yet I couldn't find any of them a perfect fit for me. The moment I entered into bronx jiu jitsu I knew this was the school for me everyone has made me feel at home. The coaches are great and are always willing to answer any questions you may have. Everyone makes you feel like family and for me that's special.

My son did the summer program and he loved it! The coaches are the best. Looking forward to going back next summer.

Finding Bronx Jiu Jitsu has changed my life and I am so happy for it. I started going to Bronx Jiu Jitsu when I turned 35. It was my first time trying jiu jitsu and it has been the perfect place. There are a lot of women, which is great, but that doesn't matter--everyone is welcoming and supportive. Every class I leave feeling energized and happy. Jiu Jitsu is incredibly empowering; it feels amazing to learn how to use my body the way we do. It really has expanded my mind and it's definitely thanks to the instruction and community at Bronx Jiu Jitsu. I can't recommend them enough.

Jiu-jitsu, as it is, is an amazing and life-changing sport but no dojo or coach can provide you with these amazing skills and moral values of life better than this dojo and these coaches. But don't take my word for it, come to join and see for yourself! I promise you will have a second family and a cultivated time, every time you are there.

To echo what some of the people have already said, this place makes you feel like family. More importantly, our coach, Junior, knows his stuff and the rest of the brown and purple belts who have learned under him are amazing teachers as well. It’s pretty intimidating to walk into a place where everyone knows one another but aside from the initial trepidation of walking into a BJJ school it’s been a great journey so far with people who make you feel like family. Coach Junior said it best, to paraphrase him, ‘he may own the school but it’s the students and people involved with it that make the school and make us all family
