"Range Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu NYC - Our mission is to bring the life-changing benefits of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu to the heart of New York City. The level of Jiu-Jitsu in NYC has always been recognized as one of the highest in the World, and we love being part of this community. We also take pride in being the only BJJ School in Manhattan affiliated to the 8x Black Belt World Champion, Lucas Lepri."
Range is the place to train for gi jiu jitsu in NYC. I've been a member for about 9 months (coming from a different club) and I have been thoroughly impressed by the whole experience. The owner, Eduardo Capeluto, is not only a world-class jiu jitsu athlete (4th degree Lucas Lepri black belt), but his professional and organized approach to instruction is on another level. He cultivates an atmosphere of playful competition beneficial to the hobbyist as well as the more competition-minded athlete. He also pays careful attention to the safety of all of his students. This is also hands down the most hygienic dojo I have ever seen. Everyone wears rashguards under gis regardless of gender, and the bathrooms/changerooms are always spotless. There are also gender-specific showers *inside* the changerooms. None of the above are commonplace in NYC in my experience (excepting maybe the large chain organizations, where you won't get as personalized instruction).
Posted 1 year agoJoining Range BJJ gym has been one of the best decisions I’ve made! From day one, the atmosphere has been welcoming, and the students are incredibly friendly and supportive. Everyone, regardless of skill level, is willing to help each other grow, making it an ideal place to train. Coach Eduardo is an outstanding instructor—patient, knowledgeable, and always encouraging. His guidance has not only improved my technique but has also boosted my confidence tremendously. Whether you’re a beginner or experienced, this is the perfect place to challenge yourself and grow both physically and mentally. Highly recommend!
I've been at Range BJJ for 8 months now, and it's been a revelation. In searching for a gym, I had read multiple lists of things to look out for as "red flags" for a gym, and I can say I have literally seen none of them here. Some "green flags" I'd like to point out: Eduardo keeps the mats and bathrooms absolutely clean, which I have learned is not something to be assumed to be true everywhere. Even as a beginner instructors have been more than happy to answer my questions in and after class. The students here have been happy to share their knowledge and have made me feel that they believe my progress is also their progress. The gym has plenty of folks that have competed or are looking to, but the culture here is such that even a hobbyist can feel welcome. On a personal level I can say that when I had to take time off due to injury, Eduardo followed up regularly to see how I was doing. As for the BJJ itself, the flow of classes has felt very effective at teaching me the fundamentals of BJJ but also allow for creativity. I feel exponentially more proficient than I did when I started. The location has a men's and women's locker room, and multiple showers to use after class. There are two mat areas and the temperature control feels appropriate for the weather. It's easy to recommend choosing Range BJJ and maybe I'll see you there!
Great school and instructors, clean gym! Give it a shot!
Having regularly attended this academy along with others in various cities both in the US and abroad, I can comment with a small basis for comparison regarding Professor Eduardo and the other coaches' training and teaching style. Range is extremely organized. Each class from fundamentals to intermediate to advanced has a structured curriculum which builds thematically on prior lessons—I’m not sure what Eduardo specifically recommends as optimal but as someone who attempts to attend at least three times per week, it seems to work well with new lessons always introduced in the context of ongoing training. Fundamentals lessons are usually delivered within the scope of practical self defense needs with specific jiu-jitsu approaches buried within this. There’s a good balance between teaching the intended curriculum and mixing in relevant questions students ask. Adjustments to the skill level of the audience regularly occur depending on the specific needs of the students attending that day. Intermediate and advanced lessons are typically built upon a specific guard or attack system which is reinforced over a given week. Subsequent techniques are then expanded upon within this foundation of the prior week. Safety is a priority and there are clear instructions for how to fall and how to ensure one’s training partner is respected. Range has foundations to accommodate a complete beginner with the ability to pivot and guide one’s development through more advanced skills in an organized fashion. Recently, coach Mackenzie has started leading more training sessions--her close observations and just-in-time teaching is gold and appreciated by the students. Whereas Eduardo has a more holistic approach, Mackenzie uses her extensive competition background to provide a unique perspective, including gamification to drive the teaching points home--she adds a valuable perspective to an already stellar academy.
A long review but hopefully my experience helps others curious about Range. My kids and I have been training for quite some time and have had the opportunity to work through a few schools in the city, small and large. I can honestly say that Range BJJ is one of the best schools in the city and certainly the best in the UES. Eduardo has built an incredible environment for training. The school is very well-equipped, with multiple mat spaces, more than ample showers/changing rooms, and a weight/PT room…and kept immaculately clean, a point that can’t be stressed enough. Eduardo and his team offer highly technical training and precise instruction with a focus on building a well-rounded foundation. The training is tough with many partners on the mat to help sharpen your skills, but all with that close instruction feel and personal connection that is often lost in other schools. Finally, all schools have a unique culture that has an impact on a student’s experience. Eduardo is a great person and a friend to all, community-minded both on and off the mats, and seeds the school with that same ethos of respect and camaraderie. That first day on the mats is very exciting(!) and each day afterwards is a reward in formidability, fitness and friendship. I really can’t say enough good things, come on by and check it out!
This is definitely the place to come and learn Jiu Jitsu the right way. I’ve been to other gyms in the city, and they felt a lot more chaotic and less organized. The coaching team at Range does a great job breaking things down in a systematic and logical way, which makes learning the sport much easier. The gym also has a really respectful, ego-free atmosphere, which I think is one of its most valuable aspects. Whether you’re looking to try BJJ for the first time or find a new place to train, you’d feel comfortable coming here.
Eduardo has cultivated an environment that makes you want to learn and improve. The culture is a bit competitive but also encouraging. When i am not able to make jiujitsu class for a day or two, i miss it
my daughter been going there for almost 2 years - she loves it!
A great community of learners and instructors! Instructors are incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and skilled at teaching techniques. Big picture concepts and small details are addressed. Lots of focused instruction and drilling, and lots of opportunity for practice and rolling.
This year I have been living in New York and been training at Range , it has been a great experience , with excellent training from Eduardo and the other coaches , the gym is super friendly and all of the other clients were great for training and rolling . The facilities are great - if your looking for BJJ in the area drop in and say hi
This is arguably the best BJJ gym in New York, certainly the best I have trained at. Often times a perfect rating can seem 'fake' but I assure you that it is not for RangeBJJ, the instructors and community are second to none. A really special place that I am grateful for existing
I’ve been training with Eduardo for over a year, and it’s been an incredible experience. He is patient, motivating, and genuinely invested in helping everyone improve. His passion for Jiu-Jitsu is contagious, and his teaching style is very detail-oriented. One thing I really love is the community at the school, we have a lot of fun, and everyone is always trying to help each other grow. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to train in a positive and friendly environment.
I’ve been training at Range BJJ for almost two years, and it’s been one of the best decisions I've made. Eduardo is incredibly knowledgeable and always ensures that every student, whether advanced or beginner, fully understands each technique. His attention to detail is unmatched. Eduardo, along with the other exceptional coaches, have created a welcoming and safe environment where both hobbyists and competitors feel comfortable. The support and respect among students are noticeable, and no other school offers the same level of personalized instruction, whether it's a fundamental or advanced class. I highly recommend Range BJJ to anyone looking to train in NYC.
Eduardo is a natural leader who has created an impressively humble, friendly and safe culture where new joiners are welcomed from day one. The teachers actively coach each individual during the drills helping you to rapidly improve your BJJ skills. Whether you are a local or just visiting NYC, this is the place to be.
Great place, Eduardo runs the class well and really gets to know everyone that turns ip to class. The community is incredibly nice and supportive too!
Eduardo is an incredible instructor. He doesn't simply explain how to do moves, he explains why you might apply them in a given situation and gives great context to everything he teaches. His classes are well structured for people training at any level. The vibe at Range BJJ is always positive and everyone is made to feel welcome. If you're looking for a great martial arts experience and a physical challenge in Midtown East or the Upper East Side, look no further than Range!
I have been attending classes since fall 23'. As a senior, I was interested in a place where I could fit in. After speaking with Eduardo and taking a sample class I decided to give it a try. Edwardo's and his instructors have met and exceeded my expectations in every way. The atmosphere is welcoming , friendly and questions are encouraged. The place is as clean as a doctors office and has showers if you have to bolt off to work after a class. The short and sweet of it is; First Class place, instruction and atmosphere. I definitely would recommend a try!
I've been training at Range for almost a year and a half now and have not only fallen in love with the sport of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu but also the community that Eduardo and the other coaches have cultivated at the academy. The environment is extremely friendly and welcoming towards beginners with many of the upper belts going out of their way to help myself and others along towards the beginnings of our jiu-jitsu journeys. On top of that, the quality of instruction is top notch. The coaches give very clear and motivated explanations of the techniques and principals that are being taught. While the academy is mainly comprised of hobbyists, there are still a bunch of folks who regularly compete in local tournaments as well as an immensely talented group of upper belts. Range is mostly a gi gym but they do also offer no gi classes on Wednesdays. I would highly recommend Range to anyone who is serious about Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. To those who aren't yet, come to a few classes and you'll probably get hooked like I did.
I started training at Range 1.5 years ago and was hooked after the first month. Eduardo is one of the most warm and knowledgeable teachers of any sport that I have worked with before. I knew how physical BJJ was, but I didn’t realize how mental it was until I started training with him. He can teach you the same thing 20x and you will learn something new each and every time; it’s a never ending wealth of learning which I didn’t know I wanted until I started at Range. It’s a small studio, but that’s one of the things I love most about it. Eduardo and his team of instructors at Range make it a point to learn your name the minute you step on the mat. The small class sizes also mean that the instructors are able to work with every group that’s training multiple times a class, which does not seem common in other studios. Lastly, as the smallest person sparring 90% of the time, I find everyone here good rolling partners. Most look to work on their technique instead of trying to overpower you with their strength, and if there’s something you’ve been wanting to work on everyone’s willing to let you work if you ask…but also be prepared to spend a lot of time working on retaining guard 🤣.
Professor Eduardo at Range Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is exceptional. His unique blend of knowledge, patience, and respect, combined with a deep commitment to students, elevates the art of BJJ. The classes are excellent, with detailed explanations of techniques and their purposes. The academy is clean and welcoming, with cooperative classmates that make learning enjoyable. Highly recommend Range BJJ for anyone looking to practice the best martial art and improve both physical and mental health.
Eduardo has built a fantastic gym to learn BJJ. I've always been interested in grappling, and I'm glad I was able to start here. It is great place to train with a welcoming & energetic culture. They have taught me a lot! Lots of savages here too!
This place is awesome. The instructors are both knowledgeable and conscientious. Training here has gotten me in excellent shape and made me a better person If you are looking to learn BJJ this is an excellent choice.
I've trained in multiple gyms and Range is the one that I've had the best experience! Being an individual gym without a big alliance, Range avoided all the problems with large organizations. Eucardo, Nadir and other coaches pay individual attention to each of the students. You become friends with the people you train with, and Range is a place where nice people come together. As a female, I always felt welcomed, encouraged, and most importantly normalized. We do need more gals around to share the changing room with :)
Great instructors and students. The atmosphere is fun and the energy is tremendous. Very happy it opened in my neighborhood. Everything is exceptionally well thought out and focused to give the students the best possible learning experience starting with the cleanliness of the gym, the addition of small items like nail clippers and mouthwash (before you laugh realize both issues are annoying!) - but without any unnecessary details and distractions - the mark of a true expert in any field. This is carried over into the quality of the teaching. Eduardo is very detailed about the techniques he teaches and teaches them in a very open, fun, and direct way stripping the move to its essentials and teaching them in a sequence. He is always willing to explain a move or concept after class to anyone who asks. This of course trickles down to the level and enthusiasm of the students who I have found to be as open and friendly and as willing to share knowledge.
I have been training at Range for 2 years now, and I have to say Eduardo and the team are immaculate instructors. As a fitness professional myself, I cannot stress more how important attention to detail is. Range does clear and precise just right. The facility, locker room, and mat spaces are top class and very clean. To your surprise at some other places this is not always the case. I’ve come to learn Jiu Jitsu teaches you another type of confidence that you cannot get anywhere else. For all ages, genders, and backgrounds.
Passed through on my honeymoon. Great teachers and warm welcoming atmosphere. Awesome club ✌🏽
I've trained in martial arts on and off the past twenty years and Range is the most professional, welcoming and optimal gym I've been associated with. You'll get technical training, in depth coaching and great sparring in a fun and safe environment. Over the last year, I've learned a tremendous amount and encourage everyone to come try it.
Very friendly and welcoming place with high level coaching. Highly recommend!
I came here in June 2023. The training is excellent, the atmosphere is supportive and overall i love training here. Eduardo the owner and main teacher gives every student a lot of attention. Highly reccomended!!
World class instruction, fantastic facilities, and great people. Thrilled to have the opportunity to train here.
Eduardo is an incredible teacher and makes the sessions so enjoyable. The gym is great and also has great gear. 10/10 gym.
Every neighborhood in NYC has its own vibe and Midtown East is no exception. It’s busy but exceptionally clean, it’s trendy but not gauche and although relatively quiet; it’s devastatingly powerful. Range Jiu-Jitsu is a perfect complement for this part of town. The first American to receive a Brown belt in Jiu-Jitsu was President Theodore Roosevelt who lived about a mile down the road. We can only imagine that he would’ve been completely over the moon to have a Jiu-Jitsu school right here in his old neighborhood. History aside, Range Jiu-Jitsu is a great place to learn the gentle art whether you want to be a competitor, a hobbyist or just want to stay fit. Eduardo, the head instructor is one of the greatest ambassadors BJJ has to offer. You’re always greeted with a warm smile, a firm handshake and he never forgets your name. His skill level is amongst the elite, he teaches with meticulous detail that can simplify even some of the more complex moves. He also works in his marvelous sense of humor that makes this journey all the more fun. At 57, I started my Journey a little later in the game so my first concern of course was for my safety as in, how would a senior adult fit in working out with a school of much younger and fit students? You will find a very friendly vibe at Range, especially to newcomers. But the truest test of a professor is in his students. Range students are quiet professionals who check their egos along with their shoes at the front door. BJJ is not easy. You will learn to adapt to being physically and mentally challenged; awkward, out of breath and overpowered, sometimes by smaller and weaker training partners. But you will never be abused or humiliated. People here respect your boundaries and move at your own pace. I highly recommend Range BJJ as it checks all the right boxes. It’s on the ground floor, easily accessible and immaculately clean. On the mat, there is a serious yet fun vibe. The best way to learn anything is to have fun while you’re doing it!
Eduardo runs an amazing program. Being new to the sport, I was able to transition into the program easily and safely. BJJ is not easy, but Eduardo and every other instructor make sure you understand what is going on so that you learn in the most efficient way. Highly recommend.
Professor Eduardo Capeluto runs a great academy. I spent the summer training there while in NYC and here are my main observations: 1. The place is SPOTLESS. Range obviously takes pride in their cleanliness and the health of their students. Locker room/bathroom is super clean and sanitary and the mats are kept very clean. Showers are clean and available. 2. The culture is great. No excess formality for formality's sake. I liked that there didnt seem to be a mandatory uniform policy beyond wearing clean gear. The team is welcoming and friendly and measured in their applicationof force during sparring. Thats a direct reflectionof the culture and teaching. If you want some hard rounds, you'll get them, but the folks there aren't spazzy by default and know how to flow when appropriate. Professor Capeluto is also very easygoing and down to earth. He welcomes questions and doesn't hesitate to dive in and roll with you. 3. The techniques are excellent. Professor Capeluto's teaching style is great. I really enjoyed the way he would teach a progression of movements and not just a bunch of unrelated moves. Each one of his classes is like a mini seminar. He communicates things exceedingly well and the details he shares are pure gold. He also breaks classes up into manageable groups (beginner/intermediate/advanced: Gi/No Gi) I like that (in the advanced class) it's half technique and half sparring. You can count on getting 5-6+ rounds in if you've got the wind for it. I enjoy cross-trainining and have been to my share of gyms away from home. Range is now one of my favorites and I look forward to training there again some day.
I visited a class a few weeks ago and it was a great experience. Knowledgeable and approachable instructor and senior students. Everyone was friendly and welcoming.
I stopped by to try a few classes. Had a fantastic experience. The instructor is great - super friendly and explains things very clearly. The place is super clean, the students are friendly. Offers both Gi and No Gi. Classes are small (12-15 max) but have a very good mix of upper belts. Everyone was very friendly. Sadly I couldn’t sign up there as my schedule doesn’t quite allow it but if I’ve seen enough to highly recommend it.
I’ve stayed in the upper east side for a month and visited Range multiple times while I was there. Range is one of the best gyms I’ve practiced bjj in and training there would be a no brainer if I lived close by (unfortunately, I don’t). First and foremost, Eduardo is an incredible teacher - and I mean it! He is incredibly technical, detailed and clear in his explanations, and always open to any question. He stayed with me many times after class whenever I had any question about techniques. Eduardo’s BJJ is world class. I am really grateful to him for the learning experience I had the chance to enjoy. I really learned a lot and I think my game really benefited from it. The environment/culture at Range is also very cool. Training partners are nice, welcoming and want to learn. The gym definitely has a sense of comradery. Also, some of the guys’ Jiu Jitsu is simply awesome. One thing that I really want to stress and that I personally really valued during my training sessions: the place is the cleanest gym I have ever seen in my life. Gyms (and BJJ gyms in particular) are usually gross. Range is the exact opposite. Have you ever seen good quality conditioner in a shower of a BJJ gym? Nail clippers? Deodorant??? Are you kidding me?? To me that was insane!! I am personally very careful about my hygiene (especially regarding BJJ), so the immaculacy of the gym really stood out for me. I would recommend Range and Eduardo to any BJJ practitioner at any level. I will definitely come back as soon as I have the chance. Thanks Eduardo and all the Range BJJ people!
Range BJJ offers 1:st class kids classes, the classes are the golden standard against which other classes should be measured. Heard coach Eduardo and his team were amazing with the kids, really helping them develop in a fun and thoughful way (our som wanted to go everyday).
Range BJJ is an outstanding gym. The place is very clean and well kept, and Professor Eduardo is one of the best instructors I ever met. As someone who already tried other big gyms in the city, I was truly impressed with the level of personalized attention he gives to each of his students. Look no further for a place to train whether you're a complete beginner or a more advanced student.
Best Jiu Jitsu gym I know and Eduardo is amazing!
As a complete beginner I was welcomed with open arms by staff and students alike. I could not reccomend more.
I have three children: a 3rd grader, 1st grader and a PreK. They have been training at Range for a little over six months. My 3rd and 1st grader had a lot of experience in jiu jitsu and wrestling prior to coming to Range. The instruction is excellent. Classes start with games as a warm up and then go into instruction, drilling and sparring. Classes are taught by Eduardo or Nadir - two knowledgeable black belts who are patient and engaged. There are two different level kids' classes, which are developmentally appropriate based on skill level and age. The academy is beautiful and always clean. I highly recommend the Range BJJ Academy.
This is my first experience with jiu jitsu and Instructor Eduardo has been the perfect coach. The classes pace well and we cover a lot of moves. His explanations and demonstrations are concise and detailed. He'll quickly help with the minutiae in positioning that is so important to a move. I've really enjoyed the class and highly recommend to everyone else.
First class in all aspects: environment, instructors, and students. Extremely clean dojo, instructor watches you like a hawk during drills to refine your technique, and students are respectful. Highly recommend.
I came to Range new to Jiu Jitsu and Eduardo has felt like the perfect coach for me the past few months. He is more than happy to take the time to explain micro positioning on a particular move, or to discuss the macro idea that that move is working on and does both with an incredible depth of knowledge. He often allows people to take a bit after class ends to stretch or to continue to work on what we were working on in class. He has an infectious smile as well as a sense of humor, that often has me grinning even after he has tapped me 5 times in a row (while he's barely even trying of course). The facilities are also very clean and the various hygiene products in the bathroom definitely help keep everyone attending less gross. It's been a great bunch of months and I can't wait for more!
Very clean hygienic space and amazing professors! Looking forward to training here and watching it grow. Exceptional quality gym and looking forward to training here and watching it grow.
Started learning BJJ at age 37, older than most people. Eduardo is a kind, intelligent instructor, and he has a legit lineage. I send my son to classes there as well. BJJ is effective, fun, and something almost everyone (not just the big and strong) can succeed at.
Coach Eduardo is fantastic with teaching children the basics of jiu jitsu. My son enjoyed the class tremendously and improved throughout the 4 months time he was a student there. Highly recommended!
Range is an excellent school to learn real Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. The classes are rigorous, all the students are friendly/helpful, and the space is very clean. The instructors (Eduardo & Nadire) are patient, thorough, and encouraging. Definitely glad I discovered this place!
Given the recent increase in crime, I began searching for a real deal bjj school for my son. I knew I found it from first sight. Eduardo teaches his students the skills that are useful on the streets as well as for sport lovers, in a safe environment. Some of his students came from others dojos and they've never looked back. I can honestly say that in a short period of time my son has developed skills, strategy, and confidence in his physical ability. I recommend it without hesitation to anyone at any age.
The moment I stepped in Range I knew it was the right place for me to develop and grow my Jiu Jitsu. Eduardo and his team are great, responsive professionals and it is a pleasure to work with them and to be part of the Range family!
This is the real deal! I’ve never done BJJ before but I couldn’t be happier that I joined this academy. The space is immaculate, the close oversight and individualized teaching from the professor is exceptional, and there is a fantastic group of people eager to learn and help each other out. Perfect for beginners and advanced practitioners alike. Don’t walk, RUN to sign up.
I highly recommend this school… This school is very welcoming; you’ll instantly feel like family; great environment… The professor is highly skilled and humble and makes learning Jiu-Jitsu fun… Again, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Professor Eduardo has a unique combination of outstanding knowledge, patience, politeness, respect, and a solid commitment to the students, honoring the art of the BJJ at the highest level. The classes are excellent, with detailed teaching of the techniques, not only the movements per se but also carefully explaining the reasons for each movement. The academy is immensely pleasurable and clean, and the classmates are very cooperative, making the classes a special moment of learning. I strongly recommend the Range Brazilian Jiu Jitsu if you want to practice the best martial art in the world, providing a fantastic opportunity to improve your physical and mental health.
Amazing place to train BJJ in NYC! I dropped in for a number of session whilst on holiday from Australia. Eduardo is an incredible coach and I was able to learn a lot from him in only a short period of time. Members at range were very welcoming and the facilities are amazing. I would recommend this gym to anyone looking to try bjj or travelling to NYC and wanting to get some training in.
My kids enjoy learning BJJ here! Great school for kids
Absolutely amazing classes for kids. Eduardo is the most incredible teacher and my sons (5 and 7) are always so excited to go to class. They're learning so much and having such an awesome time!!
Eduardo is amazing. This studio is clean and professional. Eduardo’s technique and lineage is stellar! Highly recommend!
My 6 years old son took Jui Jitsu classes here and Eduardo is the best with kids. My son learned so much defensive skills from the classes and even taught me how to release yourself if someone grabbed you on your wrists, arm, etc. Very impressive. Also, the place is very clean and smells really good. Highly recommended!
Fantastic Sensei / overall great time for anyone looking for an after work or weekend activity to stay fit
There is no other place I'd rather train. Eduardo is an incredible teacher - so knowledgable, detail oriented, engaged, and friendly. The jiu jitsu Eduardo teaches is of the highest quality and classes are fun and challenging. Additionally, he keeps the studio extremely clean. I highly recommend Range BJJ.
I couldn’t say enough great things about Eduardo. His classes are planned out while still adapting to each individual, and are incredibly educational where you’ll be confidently rolling through extended sequences by the end of day 1. As a young and smaller-sized woman beginning bjj, I have never once felt like I was at a disadvantage in my opportunities to learn due to how the fundamental classes are structured. It is evident how much Eduardo cares about his students and the dojo family he is growing which I am very proud to be a part of. When I was uncertain about joining, he went so far as to take mine and some others’ work schedules into consideration and added early morning classes to encourage me. The whole gym is gorgeous (the locker rooms are nicer than my apartment bathroom, I shower and get dressed for work here twice a week) and the overall energy is so fun, uplifting, and supportive. I feel incredibly lucky and privileged to be learning in this environment and am only more excited to see how my skills will grow with Range over the years. You’ll get addicted and want to come back the second you leave!
Best gym i've ever been to, you literally learn twice as much per class. Great vibes all around, great place to train
I was looking for a structured Jiu Jitsu curriculum with clear steps of progression and I found it here. You can clearly see the attention to detail in every element of the school, from the techniques taught to the vibe and cleanliness of the place. I had the opportunity to train in many different academies in NYC and Range is by far the most complete and comprehensive curriculum, not to mention the convenience of the location and ease to get to. Worth every penny.
Great class- Sensei Eduardo very patient with the classes. Clean and great energy for a dojo.
I am a purple belt visiting in NYC. I trained in several schools in the US and in Israel. Range BJJ is the best school I ever attended on every level. The school is spacious and clean to a standard I have never seen before. Eduardo is an amazing teacher. He is profesional, thorough, methodical, knowledgeable, individually attentive to all students no matter their level, and on top of it extremely nice. It is clear he loves what he does and this is reflected in every aspect of the academy from the superb quality of class, to the shining cleanliness and pleasant atmosphere of the place. It is a pleasure learning from him and most importantly, simply fun. I attend every class I can possibly make.
Professor Eduardo is both a very knowledgeable and experienced BJJ practitioner as well as an excellent teacher. He is especially good with kids, explaining complex BJJ techniques in a very playful form. I highly recommend this school to anybody who wants to learn Brazilian jiu-jitsu regardless of their initial level.
Range Bjj since day one has been great! As someone who has trained at other gyms this place is very well kept. I know for some starting bjj can be somewhat an intimidating endeavor, but professor Eduardo makes you feel welcomed from the moment you step in. Super nice technical instructor that takes his time to really explain tecniques in a detailed manner. Its nice to see that not only does he teach sport jiu jitsu techniques, but also takes the time to focuses on the self-defense aspect which I feel can lack at other schools and was my main reason for taking up bjj in the first place. Come get on the mats!
Ok, so this is coming from someone who's tried the four major studios in NY, and this BY FAR is my favorite BJJ gym in the tri-state area. The vibe is that PERFECT balance between being highly disciplined and on task, while still having fun. Coach Eduardo is exceptional; not just as a BJJ practitioner but as a teacher. I'm a visual learner and I've watched his teaching style instantly adapt to different students based on how they learn - it's unreal. The difference here is the huge focus on articulating & drilling the moves & techniques in a way that people understand and can internalize sustainably. All in all, five stars, top notch, when are you coming??
Professor Eduardo is one of the kindest persons I’ve ever met! Fantastic with teaching kids and an absolute monster to roll with for adults! I've trained with Professor Eduardo for about 9 years and I couldn't be happier whenever I get the opportunity to roll with him! It's noteworthy that Professor Eduardo is a black belt under Master Fábio Clemente with the purest lineages. OSSSS!
Eduardo is one of the most skilled and high level BJJ instructors I have ever had to privilege to train under. He has such an amazing gift to teach in a thorough yet simplistic manner. The gym is also extremely clean and the locker rooms/showers are the largest I’ve seen in any BJJ academy. I want to move to the UES just to train here regularly.
