Renzo Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Wall Street

RGA Wall Street has world class instruction for kids and adults. An all inclusive place no matter age, size, gender, or athletic ability. The kids program is outstanding and great for neurodiverse kids. I’ve seen amazing increase in my sons body awareness, attention, confidence , coordination and strength all thanks to Professor Luca, Edgard, Mathaus Fred and coach Daniel. It’s truly a first class team with a direct Gracie lineage. Renzo Gracie comes personally from time to time. Cleanliness, safety and respect are first priorities and define the culture.

I've been training at this location since September 2024. Classes are one hour long and typically structured with a warm-up, technique demo, and practice, followed by rolling. As an absolute beginner, I didn't start rolling until my third or fourth class. I mainly train in the afternoons, and all the instructors I've worked with are black belts with 10+ years of experience. They accommodate any skill level, and I felt supported from the start as someone with zero prior knowledge of the sport. I attend both the women-only and mixed-gender (regular) classes. Both are great—women-only classes foster camaraderie and partner training with similar skill and strength levels, while mixed-gender classes offer the chance to train and learn with higher belts (usually by invitation to roll with them or if paired by the instructor). Everyone I've trained with has been welcoming, respectful, and safe. The class schedule is convenient, and I usually go 2 to 3 times a week, sometimes doing back-to-back gi and no-gi classes. The facility is brand new, clean, and spacious.

Friendly and welcoming academy, it is extremely clean, and the staff is top level. Professor Luca teaches a class that can accommodate first-day students to senior black belts. I highly recommend trying this academy, and your experience will exceed your expectations.

Had an awesome experience here. Professor Floriano was awesome. Some hard rolls there for sure and awesome instruction. Definitely on par with the other Renzo academies on NYC. Highly recommend this academy, however the parking is rough definitely take public transportation or a car service.

Based on our experience, this is a high quality Jiu jitsu academy. We were visiting for a week from Colorado and our kids took three classes here. The instruction from Professors Luca and Floriano, and Coaches Howard and Yuri is exceptional. The kids classes are 45 minutes and are a healthy combination of a brisk warmup, clear and methodical instruction of a technique, one on one practice and application of the technique with a student of similar level, live rounds, and a physically and mentally challenging fun game. The curriculum strategy is to focus on a particular technique for at least a week, which seems to be an effective way to have the kids work toward mastering a technique and gradually improve their confidence with a growth mindset. The atmosphere is one that is welcoming, encouraging, and patient, while holding the kids to high standards to promote improvement and self-confidence. We would highly recommend this academy for parents that want their kids to establish a consistent routine to improve physical and mental strength. Thank you to Yuri, Luca, Floriano, and Howard for enriching our lives with such a wonderful experience.
