Monarch Jiu jitsu academy

Monarch Jiu Jitsu Academy was founded in Malverne, NY by Professor Nick Gullo, a Jason Rau black belt whose journey in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu has been shaped by years of high-level competition and mentorship. Nick established the academy to create a space where students of all ages could develop confidence, discipline, and resilience through world-class instruction. His teaching style emphasizes technical precision and real-world application, aiming to help each student—whether brand new or experienced—find their best self on and off the mats. The academy offers structured Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu programs for both adults and kids, starting as young as age 4. Adults can train in fundamentals and advanced classes in both gi and no-gi formats, with a curriculum that blends self-defense, fitness, and competition skills. Mixed-level no-gi sessions and advanced no-gi invite-only classes are available for those looking to push their technical edge. For children, Monarch runs age-appropriate classes for ages 5–7 and 8–13, focusing on building coordination, discipline, and foundational grappling skills in a supportive setting. Beyond BJJ, the academy includes Muay Thai classes for adults, providing students with the opportunity to expand their striking skills alongside their grappling. Open mat sessions are held regularly, and the facility is wheelchair accessible. Monarch Jiu Jitsu Academy maintains a clean, family-friendly environment with a progress-driven curriculum, reflecting Professor Gullo’s commitment to long-term growth for every student in Malverne and the surrounding Long Island area.
