JABJJACADEMY - Joao Abreu Brazilian Jiu Jitsu

JABJJACADEMY - Joao Abreu Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is led by black belt João Abreu, who founded the academy to create a respectful and disciplined environment for students ranging from young children to competitive adults. The school emphasizes building strength, focus, and confidence through consistent training, with a strong commitment to safety and a structured approach that welcomes practitioners at all levels. João’s philosophy centers on discipline and respect, using Jiu-Jitsu as a tool not only for sport but for personal growth and life skills. Classes at the academy are organized to support steady progress, starting with fundamentals for younger students aged 4 to 8, who learn balance and respect. Teens have separate sessions for fundamentals and competitive training, allowing them to build a solid technical base before advancing to more intense competition preparation. Adults train primarily in gi classes Monday through Friday evenings, with additional no-gi sessions twice a week to broaden grappling experience. Private lessons are also available for personalized instruction tailored to individual goals. Located at 17 Jackson St in South River, NJ, the academy maintains a clean, wheelchair-accessible facility where safety and supervision are priorities. Drop-in students are accepted, reflecting the school’s openness to newcomers. The training schedule and class structure reflect João Abreu’s focus on cultivating discipline and humility alongside technical skill, ensuring that every student has the opportunity to grow both on and off the mats.
