Frequently Asked Questions

A lot of people want to know more about Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and martial arts. Here are some of the most popular questions:

What is the difference between GJJ and BJJ?

According to Rickson Gracie, probably the most famous Jiu-Jitsu fighter, the difference is that Gracie Jiu-Jitsu focuses on self-defensive techniques, while BJJ is more competition based. When Jiu-Jitsu started, there weren’t any rules or a belt system. Watching the UFC, more and more people wanted to learn the techniques and compete, so the sport Jiu-Jitsu was created with belts and a point system. The self-defensive aspects, like gun retention, knife attacks, and street fights, were lost in this process. GJJ is more traditionally focused not just on competition but on self-defense as well. It prepares athletes with skills that work in real-life situations.

Why Is BJJ Good For You?

BJJ training can be beneficial for so many reasons. First, you can improve your self-defense skills with real-life rolling. This combat sport is also an incredible workout and conditioning for your body. It can improve your cardio, flexibility, strength, and endurance. Jiu-Jitsu can also improve your mental health in many ways. It can help build your confidence, challenge you to face uncomfortable and hard situations, and even help with anxiety and depression by training in a safe and supportive environment.

I tried a few classes at another bjj school in NJ, but after one class here I knew it was the one for me. The instructors are great and so is the usual crowd. Everyone is friendly, patient, and understanding. It felt like I found a new little community. On top of that I come out of every class feeing like I learned something new. Truly a great place with the best people. 10/10 would recommend.

Have been there three months so far. The head instructor Lou is extremely professional and welcoming. The atmosphere is very supportive, members all strive to help each other learn and grow as Jiu Jitsu martial artists. I originally joined to get into shape and lose some weight. In doing so, I have found BJJ to be both physically AND mentally interesting, fortifying, strengthening, as it tests your capacity to learn and grow in multiple dimensions. Would recommend to anyone.
