New Journey Jiu Jitsu & Grappling LLC

A Jiu-Jitsu Academy That Feels Like Family From day one, my son was welcomed with genuine care at New Journey Academy. This is far more than a jiu-jitsu school — it truly feels like a family. Everyone supports each other, and the environment is positive, respectful, and safe for kids and adults alike. The children's teaching methodology is outstanding. Classes are well-structured, engaging, and focused on real development. As a black belt myself, I was honestly impressed by the technical level, the organization of the program, and how effectively the instructors communicate complex concepts to children — something you don't often see, even here in Florida. The facility is spacious, extremely well organized, and spotless. One major differentiator is the UV light system used for bacterial and viral protection, which shows a level of care and professionalism that sets this academy apart from others. Most importantly, this is a place where families feel comfortable and at home. New Journey Academy goes beyond teaching jiu-jitsu — it builds confidence, values, and character in a truly family-oriented environment. I highly recommend it to any family looking for technical excellence and a welcoming, high-level academy.

Amazing experience. The instructors here are top notch and taught me so much in just 5 classes. I feel myself getting stronger and growing with this gym. They also have a fitness center separate from the gym. Very nice facility. I’m getting all of my friends and family to sign up.

Myself and three sons are visiting Kissimmee for the pan tournament. New journey did not charge us a drop in fee or more than welcoming to myself and my son’s had a great class and open Mat. I highly recommend checking this gym out if you’re in town, especially with your kids

We have only been members for a short time, but the environment at this academy is so welcoming and family oriented that it feels like we've been here from the very beginning. The coaches provide excellent technical instruction paired with patience, encouragement, and genuine care; especially for kids who are just starting their jiu-jitsu journey. Every time I walk in, I see kids having fun, learning, and growing, and I always notice how engaged and supportive the parents are. Conversations start naturally, and the sense of community feels real and heartfelt. It is palpable! This place is truly a gem; its safe, positive, and filled with people who love the sport and want to see every student succeed. Highly recommend to any family in the St. Cloud area looking for a wonderful jiu-jitsu home!

Awesome place for jiu jitsu ! They have adult classes along with children classes too. New gym on other side too! With all new equipment. Great prices as well
