About Essential Jiu Jitsu

Essential Jiu Jitsu in White Plains was founded by Jonathan “JT” Torres, a fourth-degree black belt and two-time ADCC world champion. Torres brings his experience at the highest levels of international competition directly to the mats, shaping a program that values both technical fundamentals and advanced competition training. The academy’s 8,000-square-foot facility is designed to support students at every stage, with two mat areas, dedicated locker rooms, and space for both group classes and one-on-one instruction. The schedule features a full progression of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu for adults, from introductory gi and no-gi classes to intermediate and advanced sessions. Torres personally leads both gi and no-gi advanced classes, as well as pro training for serious competitors, ensuring that students can learn directly from an active elite athlete. Instructors like Michael Soler, Chazz Canas, Ty Wallace, and Vincent Russo contribute to a well-structured curriculum, and open mat sessions are available for extra rounds or cross-training. Essential also maintains a strong focus on youth development, with kids’ classes divided by age and format, including both gi and no-gi options for ages 3–15. There are dedicated competition classes for young athletes and a women’s gi class led by Jessica Crane. The academy’s structure makes room for families, recreational students, and athletes aiming for the podium, all under the direction of a coach whose competition credentials are matched by his investment in building a complete local program.
