American Jiu Jitsu Federation

American Jiu Jitsu Federation in New York was founded on the belief that the art of Jiu Jitsu should serve every student, regardless of background or experience. The academy’s leadership emphasizes that the journey is never about mastery alone, but about continual growth and the ways in which time on the mat shapes both body and mind. Their approach is rooted in six core pillars: a student-first mindset, the ongoing evolution of the art, the development of both athleticism and mental sharpness, and the idea that Jiu Jitsu is inseparable from daily life. Rather than focusing on individual professors, the school keeps the spotlight on the collective experience and the bonds formed through training. Training at this academy reflects a balance between tradition and evolution. Students work in both gi and no-gi formats, with the understanding that each offers unique lessons and challenges. The curriculum is designed to immerse practitioners in the practical aspects of American Jiu Jitsu, with an emphasis on submissions over points or advantages. The school’s philosophy encourages everyone to see themselves as part of a larger movement—one that honors the Japanese and Brazilian roots of the art while adapting to the realities and opportunities of training in the United States. Programs here are shaped by the belief that the best learning comes from active participation and shared effort. While the academy values competition and hosts events and seminars, the main goal is to build a network where students and schools support each other’s progress. The American Jiu Jitsu Federation invites people from all walks of life to experience the mat as a place for growth, connection, and the ongoing evolution of the gentle art.
