Bataille Jiu Jitsu Academy

Bataille Jiu Jitsu Academy in Bloomingdale, NJ, was founded by Alex, who brings a strong background in both Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and wrestling to his teaching. Alex is known for tailoring his lessons to each student, believing that Jiu-Jitsu is for everyone, whether their focus is competition, self-defense, or personal growth. The academy’s core values—humility, commitment, and respect—guide instruction on and off the mats. The schedule at Bataille covers a broad progression in both gi and no-gi formats. Adults can train fundamentals, all-levels, or advanced classes in either style, with additional options like advanced theory, leg locks, and a takedown class blending gi and no-gi technique. There’s also a women’s only class and an invite-only no-gi competition session for those looking to test themselves further. Open mats in both gi and no-gi are available for students to apply what they’ve learned in a less structured setting. For younger students, Bataille runs separate gi and no-gi classes for ages 4–6 and 7–11, focusing on building confidence, strength, and resilience through Jiu-Jitsu. The academy is wheelchair accessible and welcomes students of all backgrounds, reflecting Alex’s belief that the benefits of consistent training extend far beyond the technical side of the sport.
