I bring my son here, he loves it. Professor, staff and Coach Michelle, are amazing. I couldn’t be happier. My son has gain so much confidence in himself and always looking forward to train. It has also motivated my husband to join
Thee most disciplined jiu jitsu academy we have known. If you want your child to be strong, disciplined, and humble, this is where you want them to be! Thank you for all your love and encouragement Gladiator Family!
gladiator jiu-jitsu family is a great place couches and profesor they good! my son really love it!
The kids have enjoyed being part of this family. They go a few times a week and we appreciate the flexibility. Our kids are leaning great skills here and all the coaches are caring and kinds.
My boys have been coming here for a while now. I like that it’s multiple days a week and they learn a new skill. They also enjoy getting gladiator bucks.
very welcoming! my daughter just completed 1 month of BJJ and could not be happier with the whole experience. very professional and friendly staff. my daughter is having such fun learning all these new BJJ skills. definitely recommend gladiator Jiu Jitsu.
Our boys love Gladiator. We tried the more expensive name brand Jiu Jitsu and you won't get the attention and quality time you get from Gladiator. The Professor and coaches really care and take time to teach the kids and make sure they are learning the moves and grasping the concepts. It is truly a family atmosphere because you can just feel that they care about every family that trains here. I would highly recommend training here. Whether you are a young child, teen, or adult, you will benefit greatly from Gladiator!
I recommend gladiators! My son joined 2years ago and we are very happy.
My son join the Gladiator Jiu Jutsu family . he is a very shy boy . My son loves it . noticed that he’s gained more confidence. The coach is really good and very friendly also very good with the kids .
My son absolutely loves going to practice every day after school! Great place and community, 10/10 would recommend to others!
My son had been training at Gladiator Jiu Jitsu Family for a little over a year now and it has been such a rewarding experience. Not only is he growing physically but he is growing mentally as well. The coaches are professional and have reinforced the discipline we try to instill in him. I especially enjoy that the coaches are attentive after class as the children are getting picked up. There is usually someone out there to make sure everyone gets picked up and in the event that a parent is delayed they escort the children back inside. It’s the small things that make this facility special and i would recommend giving them a chance to show your child or even yourself that you’re capable.
My son was very quiet and self-conscious with few friends. Since joining the Gladiator family his confidence has really grown and he has started to blossom socially. Since getting his first promotion it’s been a night and day difference in his confidence and self-esteem. Thank you Gladiator family!
My sons been going to gladiator for some time now and he really enjoys it there super nice and professional
We love this place. They are super professional, friendly, It's easy going. The age group that we are enrolled in is so fun. They learn something and get some exercise (NO SCREENS), it's essentially like educational playtime. Our kid loves it! If we could afford for the entire family to enroll in these classes we would do it in a heartbeat. These people are just great and they have classes for ages 4 and up so there's something for just about everybody
Awesome gym, great value for membership price, the instructors are patient and enjoy seeing students have fun and grow in technique
Friendly and positive environment. My son is enjoying it very much and is learning alot.
This gym is great to train. The teachers are very welcoming. The more experienced people take time to teach you and it’s a great environment to be in. I’m going to train here as long as I can
Been coming here 2 month!! I love it. Everyone here is super friendly. It is intimidating if you’ve never done any form of contact sport but everyone is always willing to help and never put you down for learning!!! A good place to get away from the stresses of life. Thank you gladiator fam 🫶🏻
My son is 5 and he’s been coming here for about a month and loves it. His focus is better in school. Gives him something to look forward to. Thank you Gladiator Jiu Jitsu Family.
Gladiator Jujitsu was everything I was looking for when I was searching for a place to start my jujitsu journey. All the coach’s and students I have met in the classes have been extremely welcoming which made learning a new sport an amazing experience.
I have been coming here for 2 months and so far the staff and environment have been great! I feel like I am learning a lot, and I am excited to keep training and getting better with the great coaching staff that keeps all of us engaged and motivated each class.
Excellent program, I have a 6 & 7 year old They both love it, it’s been a great experience for both of them.
My 8 year old son tried a free class and immediately was asking to sign up. I don’t have to make him go multiple times a week, he wants to go. I love that he loves it and hope it sticks with him. The kids in the class all have a fun energy and the instructors make it fun for the kids. Lecture time isn’t too much and keeps the kids engaged.
I started jiu jitsu classes here two months ago at this studio and enjoy the classes very much. The instructors are professional and encouraging to beginners like myself which has motivated me to keep coming back. I also appreciate they have classes every weekday evening, it makes it easier to stay consistent with my busy schedule. Additionally, the gym has a great overall welcoming culture.
I wholeheartedly recommend this jiujitsu gym to anyone looking to embark on their martial arts journey or who wants to train for self defense or fitness reasons. This gym has a welcoming and empowering atmosphere; it's like being part of a supportive family. The coaches are GREAT! I can't say enough positive things about this jiujitsu gym! They are an AMAZING BJJ Fam!
Jacob haf a blast. Good growing experience! Going to miss the class!
If you have been considering putting your child in Jiu Jitsu, this is the place to go! The family that owns the studio (Ken and Michelle) are amazing!they have two younger children which makes for a great family friendly environment. The coaches are great at motivating your children to do their best while holding them accountable and working on listening, discipline, etc. The class structure is great- stretches, drills, instruction, sparring, and it always ends with a fun activity. The only reason we had to leave was due to a move out of state. The process to cancel was easy (we did month to month). Highly recommended!
Such a great environment. My daughter adores all the coaches, they are very encouraging and great with children. She’s constantly being productive and learning new things. My daughter loves being a part of the Gladiator Jiu jitsu family!
los mejores!!! mi hijo esta muy feliz de estar con ustedes! ♥️
Great professor and coaches. Perfect for if you just want to get a good workout or if you want to dedicate your time to competing. As a woman, I’ve always felt safe and respected and I would recommend training here to anyone!
This dojo is amazing! All the coaches are very friendly and patient and professional especially with new people. Really feels like home. So glad I started training here 😃 this is an amazing gym with terrific staff and great training partners! So glad I’m here. 😁
Walking through the door was the hardest part and it was one of the best decisions I have made that has changed my life for the better. Although the name has changed from when I started the family and values are the same and they have set the bar high when it comes to BJJ academies. The structure of classes and the welcoming environment makes it simple to understand. Professor Ken and Coach Michael have played a major role in my journey and I will forever be grateful for them. It was love at first roll for me and I will be a student for life.
I love this place, they’re good with kids.
My daughter seems to really like it. Great environment all round.
My son absolutely loves this gym. The environment is great the coaches truly care about the students. I gave my son options to train at other gyms and he made his choice with the gladiator jiu jitsu family.
I have been training at Gladiator Jiu Jitsu Family for two years and I absolutely love it! I love the environment and the diversity on the matts if you’re looking for self defense they got you, if you’re looking to compete they got you, if you’re looking for a family friendly facility for your kids they got you! This place has produced some of the greatest (life long) friends I’ve met! Professor Kenneth cares overall about the well being of his students and has shown through his actions how much he cares about us! Coach Michael goes above and beyond coaching students at tournaments, hosting ninja nights for the kids so they can have fun & much more The other coaches Kevin, Justin and Marvin are also amazing coaches and are willing to teach you if you’re struggling with the moves (I’ve been training for two years and they are still willing to help me when I struggle) Overall an amazing business with amazing family ethics filled with amazing students!
Thank you Gladiator Jiu Jitsu Family! My brother came home so excited and ready to learn. My mom can’t stop talking about how nice everyone was to her & my brother.
Gladiator jiu jitsu is an amazing jiu jitsu academy. They make you feel like family but make you sweat and train hard! My husband has been with them for years! Gladiator strong! Would recommend to family and friends. They are welcoming, knowledgeable, and a great price! They have an amazing kid program and excellent professors/coaches. With a mix of different activities from jiu jitsu to Muay thai to self defense. If your looking for a long time family they are it!!
My 4 year old son loves going to his Gladiator Jiu Jitsu. All of the coaches and the professor are awesome and patient.
Gladiator Jiu jitsu is awesome! I highly recommend them to all our family and friends. The professor and the coaches are great with the kids. They really pour their knowledge and heart into them! Our son loves going everyday!
With no doubt, I highly recommend this academy. Professor Ken is extremely knowledgeable in technique and truly cares about teaching his students. GLADIATOR JIU-JITSU 💪
I walked in nervous, not knowing exactly what Brazilian Jiu jitsu was about, concerned I wouldn't be able to physically complete the class. However, Professor Ken is knowledgeable and has a great teaching style, that put me at ease right away. The coaching staff are super friendly. Whether you want to compete, learn self defense, or just get healthy, this is the place. Gladiator Jiu Jitsu is family friendly and all the people that train there, kids and adults, are like family.
This place is awesome! We’ve been here for only a month and my daughter has learned so much! The staff is so amazing with the kids.
My Daughter always excited to come and train MTW. I love how not only she learns discipline but also she enjoys it very Much.
My Son loves this place! He has learned so much from all the coaches. They are so good with the kids, every class is different so that the kids don’t get board. My have seen a boost in my son’s confidence since starting at Gladiator Jiu Jitsu. I would and have recommended this place to everyone!
Gladiator Jiu Jitsu Is great! Staff are friendly and very knowledgeable, and maintains a very clean gym. Students here are welcoming, helpful and pushes a great team environment. I would definitely recommend this gym to anyone looking to train. Great for the whole family.
It seriously has been a blessing and an honor to be trained under Professor Ken and Coach Michelle. Coming from another team and city, I was very careful in selecting a new jiu jitsu family/home for the next few years and I am so thankful to have come across CJJF Montclair as they have welcomed me with open arms since day 1. The technicality, energy, and community services that Ken and Michelle have given to everyone is one to never take for granted. For those looking to start jiu jitsu or continue their journey, this is the place to do it. They mold you and see your skill level and help you in developing your self-defense, hobby sport jiu jitsu, and/or competitive jiu jitsu!
This academy is the best out there. They have so much knowledge and dedicate their time to each child. My kids love coming to class. Their self esteem, strength and confidence has boosted so much. Great family we became apart of
Michelle and Professors Ken are the best. Michelle is very welcoming and takes her time with explaining the different programs they offer. We’ve have been with CJJ Montclair over a year now and seen them grow to a big family. The dojo is clean and well organized. The atmosphere is welcoming and gives you a family vibe. I would recommend CJJ for families who are looking for an after school sports program or to anyone looking to spice up their current healthy lifestyle routine.
This is a great academy for any jiujitsu practitioner, from beginner to advanced. It is always a fun and inviting atmosphere. Professor Ken is an amazing instructor who is always focused on having his students progress. All around this is a great academy that I recommend everyone stop by and give it a try.
My daughter had been bullied for a couple years when her father and I decided it was time to make some changes. We looked at a couple of locations and all of the other locations were too pushy. We decided on Caverinha because the staff is just so welcoming, they make the parents and children feel like family. They didn’t push us into a sale, they wanted to make sure it was something our daughter actually wanted. Now we are 9 months in and we still feel like family. I recommend CJJ to anyone looking at facilities Michelle and Ken will make you feel welcome.
Great academy i have been going there since its been open. Its grown so much since then. Proffesor ken and Michelle are very passionate about there academy and are always willing to help out in your training and any problems that arise. Never have i ever felt so at home in a matted floor none the less 😂. If your in the area try a free class you'll never regret it. It'll be the start to a new and better you!!
It's been amazing seeing the transformation in my childs confidence and willingness to try new things.
Another great class with awesome teammates. Professor Ken is not only both knowledgeable and experienced, but he teaches with sincerity and compassion. Being in the military, I have traveled and trained around the world in different schools with elite practitioners and foreign military, and I am happy to train here at CJJF with my son and jiujitsu family. We travel past several jiujitsu academies to come train here for the techniques, environment, and positive vibes.
I've been training here for almost a year and this place is really a home. New comers of all experience level are welcomed. The kids class trains hard but has tons of fun and the number of kids who attend show the work Professor Ken does . I cannot recommend everyone trying the free class. enough
We joined CJJF just 3 months ago and I'm so happy we did! My boys have learned so much in such a short amount of time and their has been a major boost in their self esteem! I love how family oriented they are and how well they work with the kids. My boys love going to their class and are excited when they learn new techniques. Thank you CJJF for being so awesome with our boys!
Absolutely love CJJF Montclair. My kids have learned so much in just 4 months of attending and in that time they have impacted my kids self esteem in the most positive way. We are so happy to be apart of their BJJ family. Professor and all the coaches are accepting, patient, caring and supportive of each and every person.
Professor Ken and Michelle create a welcoming, supportive environment for everyone to come and try a class. I enrolled my son, then I joined weeks later. It's a great challenging experience I get to share with my son.
This place teaches legit Jiu Jitsu, no nonsense. The studio is very family oriented, lots of families training together (kids, juniors, and adult classes are at different times, though). Either for fitness, self defense, or BJJ completion you will find what you need here. Professor Penn is quite proficient and laid back, everyone is friendly and always willing to learn. The kids and junior classes make it fun to learn the art and all kids seem to really get I to it. Stop by, you wont regret it.
Great family owned business!! I had the opportunity to attend a free self defense class...the instructors are knowledgeable and very nice. I love how clean they keep the place, all mats are cleaned after each session. Thanks Michelle and Kenny for the invitation to a wonderful event!
This is the most amazing place to go to if you are looking for self defense. Coach doesn’t leave out any details what so ever. I started here about a month ago and I really love it! The moment you walk in you notice that every one acts like family. A little quote I heard from coach today "We are all friends, we are all family. There is no such thing as losing or winning here, just training." Everyone one is extremely friendly. For anyone looking into training/Martial arts/self-defense I would definitely recommend coming here!
I take my son to the kids class and have observed the adult class. I recommend both. Coach Ken is very skilled and patient. He meets the student where they are in the learning process and is very encouraging. I have noticed my 6yo get better and better. Michelle is very kind and approachable. They both create a welcoming environment. Compared to other mma places I visited, I completely prefer this place and have been very comfortable bringing my son here. If I had the time, I would join the adult class myself.
My 4 year old son takes classes and Ken is great with teaching all ages.
Coach Ken and Michelle run a clean, professional, welcoming academy. I just recently started here but have trained at another gym in the past. I was welcomed and felt comfortable from the the moment I stepped inside. I am in my 40's and out of shape. Everyone from the instructor to the students have helped and encouraged me to push and do what I can. Coach Ken breaks down the techniques to the smallest detail and will walk around and make corrections or adjustments when students are drilling them. He will show you how to best utilize the technique according to your body type. Monthly rates are more than fair and no hidden costs/fees after sign up. I highly recommend you try a free class. You will be hooked.
If you are looking for a great experience look no more! Very welcoming positive vibes, training is great for kids and adults! Competitive prices and first class is free! My kids love it and are excited to train with Coach Ken!
Welcoming from beginners to advanced. A great way to get (and stay) in shape, learn self-defense and sport jiu jitsu (both techniques are fought here). Run by a professional and dedicated team in Ken + Michelle in a place that's welcoming to ladies, men, and kids. They have great experience teaching all -- the professor + coaches have championship pedigree and tons of background guiding athletes of all levels.
My wife stopped by yesterday to get info and possibly enroll my son. The guys there were really cool but unfortunately my son couldn’t join the intro class due to time but the guys told my wife to stop by tomorrow before 4pm. I work graveyard so when I get home I sleep. But i woke up at 3 to get my son ready so we can go. We get there, went inside and again the guys were cool but a lady came and asked if we were there to sign up and I said yes. But I wanted to do the free intro course first. She rudely told me we couldn’t join the class because it was picture day. I let her know the guys told me to go in today and she said no that we couldn’t stay for the free class but if we signed him up we could stay. My son who was super excited was crushed and started to cry. With no remorse the lady held the door open for us to leave. It was as if she was kicking us out because their picture day was more important than taking time to apologize. Kevin who told us to stop by apologized and told us to come by tomorrow. But because of this lady and her attitude we went to enroll our son into the Gracie Barra in upland and they quickly gave us a gi to change into and my son was ready.
