Mundo BJJ

Mundo BJJ in Jersey City centers its training around the expertise of head coach Kris Patricio, a multiple-time world champion in both gi and no-gi competition. Patricio’s journey began in 2016 at Renzo Gracie Academy in New York, where he swiftly progressed through the ranks, earning his black belt in 2023 under Mike Jamarillo. His competitive background and dedication to the sport shape the academy’s approach, blending high-level technique with practical application for students at every stage. Classes at Mundo BJJ include gi and no-gi sessions for adults, structured to accommodate a range of skill levels from beginner to advanced. The academy also runs a youth program focused on foundational Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu skills, emphasizing coordination, situational awareness, and values such as respect and discipline. Open mat sessions are regularly available, providing an opportunity for students to drill techniques or spar in a less formal setting. Co-founder Jonathan Mendez complements the instruction with his background in karate and BJJ under the Renzo Gracie lineage, holding a purple belt and a 6th-degree black belt in GOJU karate. Together, the instructors maintain a training environment that respects the traditional virtues of BJJ—discipline, patience, humility—while fostering competitive readiness. Located at 52 Graham Street, Mundo BJJ offers drop-in classes and aims to develop both the physical and mental aspects of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
