I’ve been training for only about two weeks and I’ve already seen a significant improvement in my grappling and technique overall. The coaches explain things in a way for everybody to understand and they make it a very inclusive environment for beginners all the way up to advanced athletes.

Popped in for two classes from out of state and was greeted with a warm welcome from not only the instructor Chas, but also all my training partners. Sometimes visiting a new gym you can be met with some ego and seen as a challenge to crush. Not here at Bodega. Everyone was great and helped me learn this new style of Jiu Jitsu I have never tried but fell in love with quickly. Thank you guys! Can’t wait to come back in the future.

I've been training at Bodega for a few months now, and I genuinely enjoy the experience. Their approach to jiu-jitsu is both innovative and practical. The games-based methodology has been instrumental in helping me learn to grapple safely and effectively. Kyvann, the instructor/owner, strikes a perfect balance between humor and professionalism. His passion for Jiu-Jitsu is evident, and his detail-oriented teaching style is impressive. Rather than prescribing rigid instructions, he employs a constraints-led approach, guiding students toward self-discovery and mastery. Chas, the other instructor/owner, is equally knowledgeable and approachable. His instruction is clear and insightful, and his music selection during classes is almost distractingly good—it feels like training in the middle of a high-energy club! Both Kyvann and Chas are deeply committed to helping students achieve their goals, whether those involve becoming a professional BJJ athlete or simply learning and enjoying the art. The gym has recently added Ian to the team, and he’s an excellent addition. His straightforward and accessible teaching style makes complex techniques easy to grasp. Ian is also the go-to person for wrestling advice, sharing tips that are practical and highly effective. One standout aspect of Bodega is the welcoming and inclusive community. The atmosphere is friendly, and the classes have a notably strong female presence. It's inspiring to see the women in the gym demonstrate such high-level skills and dedication to the art. For those interested in striking, Mike’s Saturday morning class is a must. His extensive knowledge of striking mechanics will sharpen your technique and enhance your understanding of punches and kicks. Similarly, Mark’s playful and fun teaching style makes learning striking techniques both enjoyable and effective. Another feature I deeply appreciate about Bodega is their no-frills approach to warm-ups. Instead of excessive push-ups, jumping jacks, or air squats, the focus is purely on jiu-jitsu. For someone like me, who incorporates strength training into my routine, this is a huge plus. The targeted, efficient training sessions allow me to focus on the art itself without unnecessary fatigue. Lastly, the gym’s consistent use of games is a game-changer (pun intended). They don’t just introduce a game once and move on; they repeat and reinforce it, ensuring students can solidify their understanding and control of key positions. This approach reflects a level of curriculum planning that’s often overlooked but greatly appreciated. If you’re looking for a gym that values technique, community, and an innovative approach to martial arts, Bodega is the place to be. I highly recommend it—you won’t be disappointed.

I cannot overstate how lucky I feel to have found this gym. I love the always-live approach to training, the class structure, and the technical knowledge of the instructors. This gym gets after it in the best way. But beyond the training, it is the positive environment and community that makes Bodega stand out. The fact that every class ends with everyone giving gratitude, the way that teammates build each other up, the overall emphasis on life and perspective. I walk out of every class physically exhausted but mentally and emotionally nourished. I've been lucky to train at a lot of gyms in my life, but Bodega is special.

I was in town for work and stopped in for a class. Coach Kyvann, Vanessa and the rest of the crew couldn't have been more welcoming. I got some great rolls in and loved the game-based approach to drilling. Will definitely stop in next time I'm in the area! 100% would recommend to grapplers of any experience level.

My husband and son train at Bodega once a week. From our very first time there Professor Kyvann and the rest of the students were very welcoming. Both my husband and son are experienced grapplers and decided to add Bodega to their weekly training schedule even though they travel about an hour to get there because the training there is great! They offer a unique approach to obtaining grappling skills. We recommend this school to anyone looking to improve their jiu jitsu.

In short, after attending two sessions, and going to BJJ/MMA gyms all over the country, the reviews are pretty much spot on and not artificial like fake amazon reviews. I had a paradigm shift after attending this school. The ecological method or constraints led approach holds true and has a lot of value. It may be the superior form of training in a group or class setting as compared to what I normally have gotten from other classes. Traditional presentation of sequence. Drilling. Live spar at end. Bow out. I’m glad I put away my prejudgments and had the right attitude. Give it a try and put it to the test. It passed. Red pill. Destabilization of worldview and ideology. Paradigm shift. There is another way! And in a class setting, it seems superior. — My traditional thinking sprang from my understanding and playing of the violin. It involves a lot of chunking and drilling, and micro chunking and micro drilling. Eddie Bravo was a musician first before he became the BJJ Gracie destroyer legend that he is now. I told everyone that learning the ART of music translated into learning the martial ART of BJJ. Learning musical art was his secret weapon for learning martial arts. I would see how Eddie would move when demonstrating a sequence, and I would SEE the microchunking and microdrilling concepts from music into his body mechanics when demonstrating the moves. This slow and sped up type of movement. I would have to demonstrate it to be more clear. Anyway, Coach Kyvann mentioned the analogy of classical training versus jazz/free style. Jazz being this new school of thinking. And classical being the traditional way I’ve always been taught. At this point, I think both schools hold value. Some version of a tailored hybrid might perhaps be best for the individual. Maybe. Or maybe one should throw the baby out with the bath water in this case. And go 100% ecological new school. Not sure. But for a group setting, I feel like this constraints led approach that is taught at Bodega has more value for members. More value in terms of learning and retainment and fun. I will try to tell everyone of this new methodology to learning. I’m excited to delve deeper into it. And read the books about it. Lastly, different people respond to different stimuli. Food preferences for example. One guy loves cilantro. Another person has a gene that makes it taste disgusting like soap. The gene is called OR6A2. Different strokes for different folks. So ultimately, you HAVE got to just try this new food item and see if it resonates with you. I think it will for the majority of people. Easy.

I’ve been attending the striking classes for a couple months now and couldn’t be happier with the crew at Bodega. Kyvann and Chas are great at explaining the concepts and giving individual direction. The skill level in the classes range from beginner to advanced and all feel welcome and challenged. Highly recommend it!

I've been going to Bodega Jiu Jitsu a few weeks now for striking classes. The classes have been intensive and interactive. Workouts are mostly "games" geared toward teaching you the basics of striking and also avoiding being hit in a safe way in a welcoming environment. Really happy to have found this place.

Was visiting the gym while in NY for a week and felt like home! The instructors and all the training partners were extremely nice and welcoming and me and my boyfriend had a great time getting some training in while on vacation. We’ll definitely be back once we’re back in NY visiting family. If you live in the area and are looking to get into martial arts, Bodega should be your number one choice for top notch instruction and great community. I love jiu jitsu and train a lot. I drove more than an hour in NY traffic to visit this gym and I will do it again in a heartbeat! #ecolife

Amazing place to train both striking and BJJ! So much thought and attention in their curriculum which utilizes the constraints led approach for skill development. This approach really makes Bodega stand out in comparison to the other various BJJ schools in the area. In addition, the vibes and community are great and there is so much support here in your journey from the coaches Kyvann and Chas as well as from all the other students!

Hands down one of the best academies in New Jersey. Kyvann has a way of breaking things down so specifically that you really understand why what you’re doing works. This place is a hidden gem but won’t be for long! Once the word gets out there’s gonna be a waiting list to train here mark my words.

I visited Bodega about a year ago. At the time I spoke with Kyvann about how futsal allows one to fast track their experience in the game of soccer rather than playing on a big field. I told him that I was currently looking to find the equivalent for Jiu Jitsu. Fast forward a few months after that and he's teaching constraints led sparring and games that allow you to learn skills and gain a massive amount of experience in a short period of time. While many other schools spend 1/2 of their time teaching you steps that you will never remember and how to be a limp body for your partner to drill on, these guys are going straight to the top. Along with every other school that employs this approach.

Only go to Bodega if you’re ready to really work. Simply, the training at Bodega is way more than tough rounds and wildly knowledgeable, established jiu jitsu practitioners. Totally next level. An absolutely beautiful facility, made home by Kyvann, Ness, and Chas — all incredibly welcoming and fun. If distance doesn’t allow Bodega to be your home gym, don’t make the mistake of allowing yourself to miss any opportunity to drop in.

Fantastic gym. Bodega Jujitsu sparks a unique approach to training, something that I wasn’t used to what so ever - but the situational games and approach they use are not only helpful to your game, they are equal parts intense and fun. No boring sessions here. Coaches and training partners are beyond welcoming and friendly. Grateful to have the opportunity to train here. 10/10.

I started training with Bodega at the beginning of this year and cannot recommend it enough to anyone who will listen. I worried about starting a contact sport over the age of 40, but Kyvann, Chas and the whole community quickly allayed my concerns. Group classes are geared at all levels are ecological style, and based around a constraints led approach. Through gamification you learn techniques broken down, and how they all fit together. Nobody wears a belt (removing the ego and hierarchy), everyone is incredibly welcoming and its clear that all members want to rise by lifting the skill set of others. At the end of every session, we focus on breathing, and share intention and gratification (not the testosterone fueled environment i had worried would be rampant at a martial arts gym). I have lost 26LB in less than 4 months, i'm in better shape than i have ever been, i have found a practice that i truly love and gained a community with it. I'm proud to be a student of Bodega - give it a try - i bet you'll feel the same.

I came to bodega after a seven year hiatus from Jiu Jitsu and was super nervous about getting back into it. That nervousness almost immediately went away when I met Chas and Kyvann and saw the community they have built. The culture and community at this school are so welcoming and you feel at home immediately. The teaching style is very practical and approachable - you’ll leave each class more knowledgable and moe confident.

The best thing I can say about this place is that every thing is intentional/thoughtful. An easy example is that I usually hate the mindlessness of BJJ warm-ups, but here every stretch you go through before and after the bulk of class is directly relevant to what your body will be asked to do/just did. On top of that, the curriculum is intentional in a way that after you finish a "section" you truly feel like your game has improved because you've spent so much time starting from a building block in a particular position and really learning the ins and outs of increasingly advanced techniques. If you're interested in learning BJJ (without any of the stereotypical BJJ ego/politics, by the way) definitely check it out.

Love, love, love this school! Kyvann and Chas are detail-oriented and make sure you understand every move and they really, really know how to explain everything clearly and concisely. This is a talent that should never be under-appreciated. (And for my easily confused brain, this is key!) They only teach what they have used themselves so you know it will work. They don’t go crazy with over-complicated techniques and I love that multiple classes are dedicated to the same idea and they build on that. They are extremely patient and so much fun to learn with. I’m so happy I joined.

One of the brown belts from Bodega at the ibjjf nj open, Dec 8, was extremely rude to one of the girls on my team cheering for our teammate competing. Bodega brown belt was making remarks about the cheering! My team said nothing back to him and he couldn’t stop staring. Pretty weird considering it’s a sport event and most people cheer at sports they like… I don’t like to see grown men being rude to little girls. Try biting your tongue at these tournaments when you’re wearing your teams rashguard …
