Incredible School. Been training here for 10+ years and have loved every minute of it. Coach Jay Hayes in world class with a wealth of knowledge. The team is super helpful and supportive. If you are new to Jiu Jitsu or a seasoned veteran, this school is for you.

What a change in my 6 year old son in just a few short weeks! Coach Mike and his team have built his confidence and discipline and also brought him out of his shell! I recommend the little ninjas class to any parent looking for something different besides sports to sign their child up for!

Excellent instructors, both morning and Sunday classes, haven't had a chance yet to go to afternoon weekday classes yet but they have the same instructor as the Sunday classes so I have confidence they'll be great!Edit: been to a few evening and mixed level classes, great classmates to roll with and awesome instructors.I feel like I have a better starting foundational knowledge than when I went to other BJJ gyms in the North Jersey area. Definitely gonna stick with this one, highly recommended.

When I first started looking for mma gyms, one that all my buddies kept telling me about was NJ united. After finally deciding to pull the trigger I signed up and started my journey in the arts. When I started at the gym I was 220 lbs and only after 4 months I now weigh 175 lbs. This gym is absolutely amazing and has some of the greatest instructors who are always willing to go the extra mile to make their students better. I Highly recommend this gym for beginners or people who may be nervous to get into the sport. Great gym overall 5/5

I signed up my 9 year old daughter this past summer for Muay Thai kickboxing and she has been attending ever since. The coaches and her fellow peers are very welcoming and supportive. My daughter can be shy at times, especially at school, however when she is at NJ United mma she doesn't hold anything back. She's no Bruce Lee but from my experience her kicks and punch combinations are coming together quite nicely especially when I'm her human punching bag for practice ? at home, but all seriousness, NJ United mma is a great facility for confidence building and learning crucial defensive techniques that is good to know in life. I recommend talking to the staff and really get to know about this gem in Northern New Jersey.

I had moved back to NJ and was looking for a place to train for the summer and I immediately felt a great vibe from everyone at the gym. Jay is an awesome professor and clearly cares a lot about everyone who trains there. Also there are many higher belts who train here which was different than my last gym. Wish I was staying in the area longer so I could train here more, but I highly recommend!!

My son (Adrian Acevedo, 10 years old) attends NJ United. I'm AMAZED at how much he has learned in such a short amount of time. Coach Mike takes his time, and gets through to my son in a very efficient way. Since attending NJ United, Adrian's listening skills have improved, and is more disciplined with his daily tasks than he has ever been. Adrian also has more confidence in himself than ever.

Great teachers.... Great environment. Great culture. Great training partners. There are very few sports like Jiu Jitsu that you can go 100% and not get hurt. The trust and respect you have for your training partners are built by culture created by the Jay and Mike.

NJ United introduced me to the world of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and Muay Thai. Since starting 8 months ago I was 210lbs and now 190lbs. It has transformed me into becoming more confident and finding a new passion in life. The community the instructors made is welcoming to everyone. This has become my new fighting family. Training is the best part of my day and I can’t stop recommending it to everyone.

This is one of the best martial arts school I’ve attended in NJ. This is my 3rd week and I have nothing but positives to mention. Jay (owner) coaches bjj himself. Unlike other schools, he monitors you when you’re working and practicing moves. He corrects and explains you if you’re making mistakes. I’ve seen him spending extra time with the students on the mat after class if they have questions. Most importantly, he treats you well and is very welcoming. The overall environment is great! The students are very helpful. Highly recommended!!

I have been training at NJ United for over 3 years and honestly it is the best decision I have ever made in terms of fitness. They are absolutely the best gym with great coaches that care about you as much as your training. The culture is more like a family, where every student wants to help each other grow (and that is direct reflection of the trainers attitude and commitment). Definitely will continue training here!!!

This place is beyond amazing! I came for the first time for a trial while looking for a good alternative cardio workout. Never dreamed it would be this great! They have amazing coaches for Jiu Jitsu and Muay Thai (beginners, advanced, and kids alike). They are so patient and love to see you excel! The sense of Team is so profound, it has become like an extended family. I have developed incredible friendships from this place. And it's a fun and challenging workout as well! I came for the training, I stay for the comradery.

I’ve been training with Jay for over 10 years. He is one of the best instructors I have had the pleasure of working with and had created a very friendly and motivated environment at his academy. If you are looking to try BJJ or Kickboxing in north jersey, this is the place to go!

I started training at NJU in 2012 i was overweight nervous and didn’t know what to expect as I never did any sport in my life . Jay and all the instructors and everyone on the mats made me feel welcomed everyone is trying to help you get better as you learn and progress in BJJ . Muay Thay coaches showed me another form of mma and they are great.I cannot compare NJU to another schools as in 6 years I never trained anywhere else but as I compete a lot I can see how our school and Jay with all the instructors and all the students helped me become better than my opponents.In 6 years I lost 70lbs gained confidence and found many friends BJJ changed my life.I highly recommend NJU as The Best mma school and if you nervous or maybe even scared to try BJJ or Muay Thay don’t be you will see and feel like everyone in NJU will welcome you and will help you to become healthier stronger and more confident on and off the mats.
