Montgomery Brazilian BJJ

Montgomery Brazilian BJJ has been a fixture in Belle Mead since 2017, founded to make Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu accessible and safe for adults, kids, and families in Montgomery Township and Somerset County. The academy is led by Professor Miguel Benitez, a first-degree black belt under Tom DeBlass. With over 17 years of experience as a competitor, coach, and referee—including serving as Head Referee for ADCC USA—Professor Miguel brings a high level of technical knowledge and discipline to every class. His roots go back to early training at Ricardo Almeida BJJ, and his ongoing involvement with the Tom DeBlass Association connects the academy to a respected East Coast lineage. Classes at Montgomery BJJ are structured to guide students step by step, emphasizing clarity, safety, and steady progress over ego or intensity. The adult programs offer both gi and no-gi Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, with instruction designed for those brand new to the mats as well as experienced practitioners. Beginners are given clear instruction and paced training, while more advanced students can challenge themselves in a controlled environment. For children, the focus is on building confidence, discipline, and body awareness, with classes that prioritize listening skills, respect, and positive development. The academy also offers open mat sessions for adults, welcoming visitors and drop-ins who want to train in a professional setting. Montgomery BJJ’s approach is rooted in careful instruction and real accountability, aiming to help students of all backgrounds develop skill and self-assurance without unnecessary risk or intimidation.
