Vagabond Jiu Jitsu

Vagabond is a place near and dear to my heart. Tim and crew keep the place super clean, super inspiring, and super safe. The regulars here are friendly, inviting, and extremely skilled at what they do. Great place to learn advanced Brazilian Jiu Jitsu from a top dog in the game and make some new friends! Tip: Come for a beginners class if you're shy about rolling w the upper belts.

I never practiced any kind of combat sport and, after a year and a half, I can feel immensely fortunate to have started my jiu jitsu journey at Vagabond. The coaches and training partners were incredibly welcoming from day one, and definitely are there to give you a hand at any time. I never thought I would enjoy doing something like this so much, and I have them to thank for that. They offer super high quality training every day of the week, with both fundamentals and more advanced classes, regardless of whether you are looking to compete or not. I have nothing but words of appreciation for this Bedstuy training place.

I have been attending Jiu Jitsu classes at Vagabond with Coach Tim for nearly six months. It has been a great experience thus far. Tim is extremely knowledgeable and has a great system for teaching students at all levels. There is also a really cool community of people at Vagabond who were and have been very welcoming and helpful to newcomers and beginners alike. I highly recommend to all!

Tim is a student of the game and his students are very fortunate to learn from him. It’s not easy to find someone who is both a competitor, student, and teacher. Tim has been in rooms with the best guys for a long time and is a wealth of knowledge. Highly recommend!

I took a few lessons with Tim, head instructor and owner of vagabond, at TGC and I was awe struck. The man knows his stuff. He's an excellent teacher with eye for details and fundamentals. To top it off, he is cool, calm, and a very nice person. I highly recommend taking his classes and joining his gym
