I’ve been training at Rolles Gracie Academy in Newark, NJ for 11 months, starting as a complete beginner, and it’s been an amazing experience. Coach Ray is patient, knowledgeable, and truly cares about his students’ progress. He breaks down techniques clearly and creates a safe, structured environment to learn. The team is welcoming and supportive, with no ego on the mats. I highly recommend this academy, especially for anyone new to jiu-jitsu.

We couldn’t be happier with our experience at Rolles Gracie Academy. Our son is 4 and has made incredible progress in both jiu jitsu and self-confidence. He genuinely loves going to class. Professor Ray is supportive, attentive, a great role model. It feels like a family.
