City Jiu Jitsu Academy

City Jiu Jitsu Academy in Long Island City was founded by Professors Daniel Paulino and Royce Chen, both with deep roots in the Renzo Gracie Academy lineage. The academy opened its doors in 2024 with the goal of empowering students of all ages through Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, drawing on years of technical experience and a commitment to teaching the art as it was passed down to them. The class structure at City Jiu Jitsu covers a wide range of training needs. For adults, the schedule includes beginner and intermediate gi classes, an all-levels gi session, and a dedicated competition class. There is also an intro class for those brand new to BJJ, as well as a mobility class focused on movement and injury prevention. Intermediate no-gi is offered as an additional format for those looking to expand their skills beyond the gi. Private instruction is available for individuals seeking focused, one-on-one learning. Young students have their own dedicated programs, with classes divided by age group: 3–5, 6–8, and 9 and up. The academy emphasizes confidence, self-defense, and character development for kids and teens, and includes anti-bullying themes in its curriculum. There is also a youth competition class for those interested in testing their skills in a tournament setting. The facility itself was newly built in 2024 and includes men’s and women’s locker rooms, showers, and a seating area for families or those observing classes. With a focus on technical instruction and personal growth, City Jiu Jitsu offers a structured path for students to progress, whether their goals are self-defense, fitness, or competition.
