Details: Savarese BJJ Northern New Jersey’s top Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Academy. At our Lyndhurst Martial Arts Academy, our adult students usually fall into 3 general categories or a combination of the following: There is the person or ex HS athlete who is looking to learn how to fight more effectively and wants to to compete. There is the person who wants to learn how to defend themselves and their family confidently in a dangerous situation. Then there’s the person who is looking for a workout that pushes them beyond the typical gym fitness class. Regardless of your motivation and reasons for wanting to train, our experienced and professional staff will help you find the right fit. At Savarese BJJ, Northern New Jersey’s top Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Academy, we have some of the best BJJ instructors in NJ. All have been trained in every aspect of BJJ. ALL of our instructors trained with us and by us. Every single one was a student here first. Just like progressive academic schools do not teach all students with just one learning method, neither should a martial arts school assume that one style fits all. Maybe you’re someone who is athletic and is looking for a new challenge, and needs classes that demand higher intensity and challenge. Maybe you’re someone who is just looking to get ‘off the couch’ and you’ve tried joining this or that fitness class or gym and it’s just not working for you. What you’ll find at Savarese BJJ is that the style of martial art is secondary to your goals as a person. Are you looking to learn self-defense in a fun and friendly environment? Do you want to get in shape and be active? Do you want to give yourself the confidence to handle physical situations? Is Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu for you? Should you try the Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Self Defense classes? Or you over 40 and don’t want to train live? We have executive and Self Defense classes for you. These are questions you will answer for yourself once you get some time to meet with our staff and try out some classes. Once you train with our professional instructors as well as mixing with other Lyndhurst BJJ students, you’ll know within a very short amount of time what the right fit for you is. and our instructors are here to answer questions and help – just like they’ve done for hundreds of other students.

Kids Program Detail: The main goal at Savarese Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Academy is to boost the self-esteem of our students, especially in our kids martial arts program. Statistics show that one out of four children are bullied in school or online. Many believe that fear of bullying may be the leading cause of low self-confidence in children. Worse, statistics suggest that only 36% of bullying is reported. At Savarese BJJ, we focus on the physical, emotional and mental well-being of our students. We call them”Life Skills.” We provide our young students with the most powerful defensive skills so they will be ready to stand up against bullies. Additionally, we assist our students with the development of characteristics and skills they will need in order to live a happy and balanced life. Our students develop confidence, discipline, courage, responsibility, and leadership among other important values. We promote non-violent resolutions to conflict. For many children learning to respect authority can be a difficult lesson to learn. Respecting authority is quite important in the teaching of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. We aim to develop life-improvement skills as well as building the child’s character in a positive way. Our belief is uncoachable kids become unemployable adults. We teach these skills in the most fun atmosphere possible. Lyndhurst NJ Children’s Martial Arts is beneficial in many ways. Children who participate in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu classes quickly increase their physical fitness level. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu involves both large and small muscle groups in the body. Improvement of physical well-being is not the only goal. Our program can and will help your child increase their confidence, self-esteem, discipline, while teaching them life skills that will last them a lifetime. Our award winning program, your child will be able to progress at their very own pace. We understand that everyone learns differently. No matter if your child can only train once a week or every day, we have the program that will fit your needs.

Woman Only Program Detail: Women’s self defense is offered at Savarese BJJ Academy. Our women’s program was specifically designed to prepare women for real life threatening situations. In addition, our self defense techniques provide the knowledge and skills for any woman to escape from her attacker, whether she is on her feet or on the ground. This course is unique because it does not rely exclusively on punching and kicking like other forms of martial arts. Punching and kicking do not represent an effective strategy against an assailant who is bigger, stronger and capable of hitting back. In addition, they are useless on the ground, which is where an attacker is most likely to assault a woman. It is structured to achieve maximum comfort for females interested in pursuing Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. This class offers a relaxed, non-threatening environment ideal for the beginner or intermediate student to grow and learn quickly under the guidance of experienced and highly-accomplished female instructors. Your 1st intro lesson will be with a female instructor. After that, you are in co-ed classes. We understand that some women feel intimidated stepping inside a martial arts school with more experienced students or with the majority of male students. We used to do all women’s classes. But statistics show that you are 86% more inclined to be attacked by a man so we do not offer classes with only women. You want to prepare you for what may happen, not lie to you and take your money. We have one of the largest women’s teams on the East Coast and have female blackbelts here who teach classes as well as All American female wrestlers who also teach here. You are in good hands.
