My motivation for enrolling was to get an insiders view before enrolling my young son. Is the culture respectful? Is it clean? Is safety prioritized? Yes, yes, and yes. After a year, I am hooked. Professor Nic has created a very supportive and motivating environment where the goal is to match strength and learn technique, not simply to smash through your training partners. Coming in with no prior experience, Cortes BJJ has been a very positive factor towards my cardio and proprioception. I can't recommend it enough; it's incredibly fun.

I have been training with Professor Nick for a little while now and the way he manages his dojo cannot be compared with any other. He creates a family environment with all of us students but isn’t just our Professor he gets to know you and your family. He cares tremendously about his students and ensures safety is the top priority. If you want to learn world class jiu jitsu in an amazing environment I highly recommend coming to train with Professor Nick.

We love this place! Our son started taking classes a few months ago and we immediately felt like part of the family. All of the instructors knew his name from the start and he has learned so much already as they are all so knowledgeable and helpful. We are very much looking forward to our daughter starting when she is old enough as well and continuing to be a part of the awesome community!

have been training here for almost four months and wow its one of the best decisions that ive ever made. staff is authentic, passionate and truly dedicated to the success of their pupils. endeavoring into martial arts was definitely out of my comfort zone.. but as soon as i stepped in, everyone was rlly welcoming and kind. and respectful. came in with some pretty significant injuries and the staff has always made it a priority to keep me safe while training by assuring that my cohorts are being gentle in necessary situations, and by helping me to adjust moves that might be more difficult for me. professor nic is great and what an inspiring dude. he is incredibly knowledgeable about the craft, keeps the environment fun, he is a dedicated coach and he is a good person. anyways thank goodness that cortes bjj was the first dojo that I'd encountered because i couldn't dream of beginning my journey elsewhere! highly recommend!

Cortes BJJ is the spot to be for Martial Arts training in RI. Professor Nic, Instructor Eric, and the rest of the staff and members are simply first class! Their knowledge is vast and they truly want to see you improve. If you’re looking to learn self-defense, engage in self-discovery, and practice self-mastery: Cortes BJJ will become your home!

We attend the Warwick location for boxing and Somerset for martial arts. Both locations are full of people whom make you feel welcomed and the atmosphere is inviting. The trainers, instructors and professor are motivating, professional and personable. The classes are beginer friendly while also being challenging for more experienced students. If you don't like the gym like me, but still want to engage in physical activity while learning something new that challenges you, I humbly invite you to give Cortes BJJ & Fitness a try.

All of the instructors are caring, knowledgeable, and effective at meeting children where they are at, in order to truly learn the sport of Jiu Jitsu. You can see that the kids (and adults!) enjoy class and the friendships they build with their peers. I would highly recommend Cortes BJJ to any family or adult looking to give Jiu Jitsu a try.

This goes on and off the mat . Joining Cortes Bjj has been one of the best decisions I’ve ever made . My son and I absolutely love it we have been with Nic for almost five years now and he always makes us feel like family like real family . Nic focus on maintaining a healthy gym environment was one of the things that differentiated Nic when I was looking for a place to train in RI. The mats are cleaned and disinfected before and after every class. It is truly a great place to come in and train the classes are never stale and you are continuously learning.

It can feel a bit awkward being a smaller woman in a BJJ gym but I always felt like I was part of a family that was there to support my growth. I was a part of this gym for about 6 months and am very satisfied with the steady development of both my physical fitness and knowledge of martial arts. This is a great gym for anyone looking to build a strong foundation in BJJ.

My sister-in-law asked me to try out a new 6 week fitness program and it was the best decision I have ever made. I was in a rut with my nutrition and within a couple of weeks Nic was able to give me tricks and tips on how to switch up my eating habits that would produce results. I have learned a lot about nutrition and what works for my body. The workouts are always challenging and always different. Nic’s team is excellent at holding us accountable and being our biggest cheerleaders. After only doing the program for 4 weeks, I signed up to become a full time member and I am excited to see what the future holds for the program.

I have been with Cortes BJJ for over a year now and I can attest that it is one of the best decisions I have made. I like it so much that I became an “angel club” member (10+ year membership until black belt). It has become something I look forward to every day. Not only is Professor Nic an expert black belt instructor with keen attention to detail but he fosters a positive, safe environment where everyone becomes family. Once you’re on the mats, you get a sense of belonging. Everyone around you is there to help you out and get better. Young or old, experienced or new to the art, he takes the time to make sure you understand the proper technique correctly. That being said, he won’t give out rank or belts easily. You must demonstrate that you have earned that rank, and that might be the best part. You know you are getting top quality instruction from a master of the art. It’s not about how long it takes, its about the journey that gets you there. 100% would recommend Cortes BJJ to anyone looking learn new skills, self-defense, discipline, and fitness in one of the best communities I have had the pleasure of being a part of.

Wether you aspire to compete, or are just a hobbyist looking to learn self defense techniques, Professor Nic goes above and beyond to help you achieve your goals. His classes are tailored to his students needs, both welcoming to new students, yet still challenging to long time BJJ practitioners. 5/5 would highly recommend!

Nick has definitely helped me get my weight, mind, and confidence back in the right place! I can’t say enough good things about this man!

Cortes BJJ is a wholesome environment for not only martial arts & Jiu-Jitsu but also nutrition and life in general. Professor Nic becomes a trusted friend & mentor quickly, paying careful attention to newer members to ensure safe practice at all times and takes his time to make sure everyone learns at their own pace. His positivity becomes contagious. You get out of BJJ what you put in to it. When you attend Cortes BJJ you quickly become a part of the family, not just another member, and that’s the strongest part of this studio/gym/dojo. 10/10 would recommend to anyone looking to become mentally, emotionally & physically sharper or for a quality Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu gym.

My son and I joined here about two months ago. His behavior in school has changed for the better within 3 weeks of attending classes at Cortes BJJ. No more notes home from the teacher, we all know how fun those are to read. I have chronic lower back issues that would leave me on the couch for weeks on end. Since starting training I have not had one flare up, and my check ins with my Doctor have been great. Professor Nic also watches the class like a hawk. Any wince of pain in the face, he is asking if the person is ok, reviewing technique, or ( sometimes we need it ) getting the person to rest for a minute. All the communication about pricing, number of classes, and what to expect was up front, and excellent. Everytime a price was mentioned he reviewed it more then once. There are no surprises, or hidden costs that pop up. Joining Cortes BJJ is not just joining a gym or place to train. You are part of the community on day one. I can be a little intimidating to train with people that have been doing it for years. Everyone works with you, is welcoming to new people, and helps you learn what is taught that day. Seeing everyone in the community do this and train together is amazing. This is a testament for the community that Professor Nic has built. Schedule a meeting and come check it out!

Not only does professor Nic do a phenomenal job of coaching you through your personal journey of fitness, health, and jiu jitsu but also includes his own elements of self defense to give you an excellent foundation of physical and mental health. If you’re are searching for a hobby, martial art sport, or self defense class you’ve found it. The community and the stress reliever that is jiu jitsu is a very pronounced way to better yourself both mentally and physically. It is an irrefutable fact that jiu jitsu is a great addition to your personal repertoire of skills.

When I first came into Cortes BJJ I wasn't sure what to expect. I was looking to learn something new and exciting and came across an interesting ad on instagram. I then decided to go in person and check out the place. Unfortunately I wasn't able to join the 42 day challenge and the professor Cortes was really cool about it and was able accommodate for me to join a 2 week challenge instead. I had zero experience in BJJ, although I've been working out/weight lifting at a gym for years. Being fit might have made things a little easier for me but I can assure you will learn and progress no matter what your level of fitness might be. And even with performing some of the toughest moves, professor Cortes was able to immediately notice when I wasn't doing something correctly and stepped in to help without me even having to ask. In conclusion I've learned that Cortes BJJ provides an awesome place to workout wether you're coming in by yourself or with family and friends. I also learned some sweet BJJ moves in a great atmosphere with a very knowledgeable professor and helpful students. Thanks to professor Cortes I now feel way more comfortable if I ever have to defend myself or a loved one.

I struggled to stay consistent with my fitness regiments in general. After a month settling down in this new, charming Edgewood neighborhood, I’ve decided not to let third floor living be another cause of my laziness. I researched karate/martial art/self defense class in the area & came across Cortes BJJ-8 minutes away from home. I really don’t have any excuses now! Professor Nic was prompt & pleasant with my inquiries. After trying out the first class followed by a few follow ups, I told Professor Nic how much I enjoyed it and that he needs to train me hard. I practiced the techniques learned the first day on my gorilla 🦍husband. He scoffed. So the MISSION is ON to put him into SUBMISSION. Grand prize awaits! ☝🏼🏆🥊 Professor Nic keeps us on our toes mixing up the routines to avoid boredom. I also love the fact there are a couple of awesome ladies to work on the movements with. Lizandra, our badass co-instructor, don’t mess with her! She’s my idol🤺🦸🏽‍♀️🦹🏽‍♀️ I’m very pleased with the decision to go outside my comfort zone with Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. Garnered new friendship & became a part of the loving, caring martial art family in such brief period...💙

We have been members of Cortes BJJ since their grand opening in May 2017, and it has been such a great experience to watch and learn, while becoming part of a growing community that makes you feel like “family”. Professor Nic Cortes & his instructors are all amazing! They truly care for each of the students and love what they do! and it shows in the way they teach and instruct each student. They take their time in teaching techniques no matter what student’s skill level, while making each class a “fun and engaging” experience at the same time. In addition to the regular BJJ classes, my son also takes “Jits-Fit”. Which is a class that focuses on fitness and conditioning, to better help strengthen your skills in “BrazilianJiu-Jitsu”. This class has also been amazing, with some slight obstacle courses and lots of exercising, it’s fun and highly energetic! my son loves it! 😊 ~ Happy 2nd Anniversary “Cortes BJJ”! and here’s to many, many more! 🎉

Long story short, if you want to train in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, then Cortes BJJ is an awesome place to join. They many programs/classes and also offer yoga classes throughout the week and weekend. The professor's primary goal is to train with an emphasis on safety and knowledge. Longer version: I've never trained in any martial arts, but always had desire to do so. I decided to search for local brazilian jiu-jitsu training centers and Cortes BJJ came up within the first few results. I was looking for a place that would fit into my schedule and it seemed like a good place. The professor reached out within a few hours of submitting my information and we scheduled a time for me to visit. It was exactly what I was looking for, so I decided to join and am very happy I did. They offer numerous classes/programs for all ages, including yoga throughout the week. If you are at all interested in training in jiu-jitsu, I highly recommend Cortes BJJ.

This place is a fantastic up and coming gym. The instructor, Nic is a young black belt that has considerable maturity and love for his students and the art of Jiu Jitsu. I stoooed in to try a class from North Carolina and was welcomed with open arms and treated with absolute respect. This will be a school I visit annually .

I previously had no martial arts experience what-so-ever, but I knew the minute I stepped in the door that I would enjoy this. Everyone there instantly welcomed me into the family, and they work with you 1-on-1 to really help you learn the techniques. I've only been doing it for a little while now, but I get more and more excited for every class. Definitely worth checking out if you have any interest at all in BJJ.

Nic is very informative and pays great attention to detail. He is amazing with the children and truly cares about developing all his students for self defense and respecting others. After a year there is a clear improvement in my child’s behavior and discipline. Highly recommend you come try a class!

I'm so grateful we found Cortes BJJ. Both my son and my husband take Brazilian Jiu Jitsu here and they love it. I take a women's self-defense class on Saturdays, which he offers complementary because he really cares that much and this speaks volumes to his character. Professor Nic and the rest of the instructors (Lizandra, Aarons, and growing) are challenging yet extremely patient. I have the utmost respect for the whole Cortes BJJ team and I'm proud to be part of the family!

I was originally searching for a Jiu Jitsu school with a strong kids program for my 4 year old son, but after visiting the facility and meeting the instructor, I fell in love with not only how structured their curriculum was, or how much fun the kids were having, but also the flexible training schedule this school offers! Now I'm fully enrolled myself on a family plan and between running my business and the day to day stresses, I can still fit training into my tight schedule and bond with my son at the same time! Judgement free zone with adults and kids classes for all ages. The only regret I have is not finding this school sooner! 5 STARS!!!

I just dropped in for a free first session tonight, and I couldn't be more pleased with my experience in Nic's class. He has a very welcoming class and made it very informative and fun. Ill taking advantage of his one year plan, and am very much looking forward to learning and practicing bjj here. Thanks Nic!

I drive all the way from Massachusetts to attend instructor Nics classes. Very punctual, very attentive and works at the students pace. So far I've recommended 3 of my friends and a family member to start attending. And the ones that came just to spectate, were very impressed. Highy recommend this school to any serious seeker of martial arts.
