Clockwork Jiu Jitsu, the Rockaway Chapter is located in the heart of Rockaway Beach, NYC. We hope you’ll come in and be a part of it.

We’re an affiliate of the renowned Clockwork Jiu Jitsu Academy located in downtown Manhattan. The Rockaway Chapter is owned by Head Instructor Matt Muro and Instructor Kyle Terboss, both blackbelts under Josh Griffiths. At Clockwork Rockaway, we aim to provide an ego-free and friendly yet high level training environment. We believe that Jiu Jitsu is for EVERYONE and that EVERYONE can benefit from Jiu Jitsu. Matt and Kyle combined bring over 30 years of Jiu Jitsu experience to the Rockaway Community. What keeps us in love and involved with this sport is the constant flow of people we see who’s lives change for the better when they discover Jiu Jitsu. We want to share our knowledge and passion for the sport with the community of Rockaway Beach. On the surface, a Jiu Jitsu room is just a room full of mats but what makes it special is the people that walk through the doors everyday and create a positive and inspiring community.

Fall Kids Jiu Jitsu starts September 9th.

Get your kids on the mats this fall. They’ll learn Jiu Jitsu, build confidence, get stronger, and learn how to defend themselves.

They’ll also learn how to fail — and realize it’s okay. They’ll challenge themselves, step outside their comfort zone, lose, get frustrated, try again, figure things out — and get better.

Those lessons go well beyond Jiu Jitsu.

Beginners are welcome. No experience necessary.

14 Weeks | September 9 – December 12

Registration is open now. Come train with us.

The 2nd Annual Rockaway Hotel Rooftop Invitational was a huge success!

Thank you to the more than 300 people who came out and helped make the night so special. A huge thank-you to every competitor who stepped onto the mat, put it all on the line, and gave us an incredible night of matches.

We’re extremely grateful to The Rockaway Hotel for hosting us again this year, and to our event sponsors, Shoyoroll and St. James NYC, for their support.

Thank you to the academies that supported the event and gave their students the opportunity to compete: Unity, The Dojo, Soca Jiu Jitsu, Windsor Terrace Martial Arts, and Royal Jiu Jitsu.

Huge thanks to Danny Collins for providing the music, and to Jimmy Dowd for MC’ing and keeping the crowd engaged throughout the night.

Jiu Jitsu is about community, sharing knowledge, and bringing people together. Martial arts should build people up. We believe the mats should always be a place of opportunity.

Thank you again to everyone who helped make this event possible. We’ll see you next year!
