City Jiu Jitsu Academy

If you have any interest at all in jiu jitsu you absolutely must visit this brand new Long Island City gem. My son and I joined 2 weeks ago when the academy first opened its doors. We both joined with no experience. Professor Royce and Professor Danny welcomed us both like we were family and immediately made us feel welcome. After just two short weeks we feel like we are part of family and something bigger and are happy to see that family growing fast. The culture being created is amazing. The instruction is first class whether it’s my 10 year old son or a 40+ year old white belt or an experienced practitioner. Even my 7 year old daughter loved her trial class because the energy of the instructors is simply infectious. Professor Royce and Professor Danny have done a tremendous job with City Jiu Jitsu Academy. Come by and join the family and experience everything this challenging yet rewarding martial art has to offer. You will not regret it.

Just celebrated my son's birthday at City Jiu Jitsu Academy. I wouldn't have thought a jujitsu gym would be such a hit with the kids but Royce and Danny really do a great job keeping everything fun and light. The teachers led the kids through some basic warmups and a class, which the kids really got into. Then after a break with the pizza and cake, they spent the rest of the time running around being kids, playing games on the mats. This morning at the bus, another parent said their kid was talking about how much fun he had. So five stars, well earned.

🌟 Absolutely Love This Gym!🌟 From the moment we walked in, the staff has been nothing but **friendly and welcoming** 😊. The instructors are top-notch—**safety is always their #1 priority!** 🛡️ The kids' program (6-8 years old) is AMAZING! 🎉 My god son looks forward to every class, and I love knowing they’re learning in a fun, structured, and safe environment. 💰 Great value for the price! You get tons of class time for what you pay, making it an unbeatable deal. Plus, the facility is brand new, well-lit, and spotlessly clean✨—it’s clear they take hygiene seriously. These past two months have been fantastic and I can’t wait for many more! 💪🏽 Bonus: It’s only 10 minutes from Hudson Yards and Midtown —super convenient! 🚇🏙️ Highly recommend! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Professors Danny and Royce are such welcoming and amazing teachers. Very detailed in their instruction and I had the pleasure of doing some great competition training and prep there. The gym itself is very nice, clean, and in a great location.

This place is great for all ages. Our 12-year-old was reluctant to try Jiu-Jitsu, but after a few trial classes and talking with the instructors, he felt comfortable trying it. All the instructors are incredibly supportive, patient, and encouraging, never harsh, but always motivating kids to step outside their comfort zones. Royce is passionate about BJJ and genuinely cares about his students and building confidence. He got my son to do BJJ, and thanks to his support, our son now enjoys Jiu-Jitsu and feels more confident in his ability to do BJJ. Highly recommend City Jiu Jitsu Academy.
