Great workout. Everyone is very friendly. You get the chance to roll with higher belts who are all very courteous and always try to advise and help.

I tried a few classes at another BJJ school in NJ, but after one class here I knew it was the one for me. Everyone is friendly, patient, and understanding. 10/10 would recommend.
