Renzo Gracie Academy, New York NY

Best place to train and learn jiu jitsu. Amazing professors, great comradery amongst students. Can't recommend this place and picking up a martial art enough to someone. Been such a positive in my life.

Made great friends and met amazing coaches. Huge facility with three floors, considered the NY mecca of jiujitsu

I've been a student here for over a year, I really enjoy the Muay Thai and BJJ group classes. Great instructors who are knowledgeable and supportive. I felt right at home as a beginner! And shoutout to my coach Pj for those killer private lessons!

Great respectable staff and clients! Educational classes in a healthy environment by knowledgeable professors! Grateful to be a part of it! +️+

Dropped into two gi classes, learned a ton I could apply to my training at my gym back home

I have been working privately with Elijah, who is an incredible person and teacher. He has been super supportive and patient with me with my very first intro to Muay Thai. I can't say enough great things about him. All of the staff I have met here have been really kind and encouraging as well. Having no prior experience, Renzo Gracie has really made me feel very comfortable and welcomed into their family. If you're thinking about trying this out, do it.

Everything I am today is because of the guidance I got from all the amazing Professors and teammates.

Great atmosphere all around from friendly staff to trainers to students - really one big family. For all levels from beginners to world champions. You found the right place

Amazing place to learn and train Jiu Jitsu. The roster of world class professors is phenomenal and there are classes through the day to suit any schedule.

Best place to learn bjj, awesome environment, awesome coaches. All instructors are top notch.

World class training in a family oriented environment. I was initially intimidated by its reputation, but once you actually sign up and take a class, you never feel over your head and the training is structured in a way that you grow and develop in Jiujitsu. Their Muay Thai program is also structured in a way that you grow and develop incrementally and never feel over your head or lost. Highly recommended.

Renzo Gracie Academy is filled with great instructors, highly skilled who love to teach and amazing people from all over the world, eager to learn and push themselves with you. I’ve met some of the best people I’ve ever known here.

The best academy in the world! Friendliest faces even better jiu Jitsu… my favorite is the Muay Thai! Come try a class!

Hands down the best place to learn Jiu-Jitsu in the planet.
The blue basement is home to world champions and life champions.

The Mecca of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu in the Northeast.
All the staff is extremely friendly from the front desk to all the professors. Classes are taught by high level professors who’ve been learning from the best of the best. All students are very welcoming and helpful.
If you’re looking for high level training, recreational training or even to get in healthy lifestyle — highly recommended.

Best academy in the world. Very nice environment for both beginners and active competitors. Plenty of classes on schedule, and high level instruction by the best in the business. If you are looking for a place to train, go check it out, you won’t regret it!

Best and biggest academy in the city that has something for everyone: competitive gi jiu-jitsu, no-gi grappling, Muay Thai kickboxing, and self-defense. All of the instructors are highly-skilled in their respective areas, and each class usually has several other experts on the mats to help answer questions and help out.

One of the biggest schools I've seen – there's three levels of mat space, which lets them offer plenty of classes throughout the day, so there's plenty of options to fit your schedule.

Also worth mentioning is the locker rooms and shower area is probably the biggest of the gyms in the city, an underrated amenity if you plan on training before or after work and need to be able to shower and change in a timely manner or have a locker for your things.

Top instructors, history of excellence, very clean, and family friendly. Jiu-Jitsu, Muay Thai, Mixed Martial Arts, Wrestling, Boxing… I love this gym! If you or your family are looking to increase physical fitness, improve overall health, learn self-defense, train with top athletes, learn from the best in BJJ, MMA, and Muay Thai… I highly recommend this gym!
