A huge thank you to Hanshi Dave Kovar for teaching tonight’s class!

Students worked through several practical self-defense-based Jiu-Jitsu situations while benefiting from over 50 years of Hanshi’s martial arts experience. We are grateful he shared his knowledge, wisdom, and passion with our team. Dave Kovar | Martial Arts Instructor & Mentor

Over 30 dads hit the mats with us today for our annual Dads on the Mats event! 💪

Parents and kids teamed up to learn the Hip Bump Sweep, how to pass the Closed Guard, and got an introduction to this month’s curriculum focus: Closed Guard.

It was awesome seeing so many families training together, learning new skills, and sharing the Jiu-Jitsu experience. Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make it such a fun night on the mats!

Thank you to everyone who joined us for tonight’s seminar with Professor Garry St. Leger!

We covered Sumi Gaeshi with a focus on grips, kuzushi, and the details that make the technique work against resisting opponents. Professor Leger also shared invaluable insight from over 30 years in martial arts and wrapped up the evening with an awesome Q&A session.

Always grateful for opportunities to learn from world class instructors and continue growing together on the mats.

Our 13th Annual Team Day BBQ was a reminder that this community has been built brick by brick by every student, parent, instructor, and supporter—past and present. It was an honor to celebrate 13 incredible years together, and we’re even more excited for what’s ahead as we continue building our community and fulfilling our mission to improve people’s lives through Jiu-Jitsu.

Whether you’re looking to get started or get back on the mats, visit GardenStateBJJ.com to schedule a free class!

Some of our kids enjoyed a post-class açaí treat as part of our Summer Around the World, with this week featuring 🇧🇷 Brazil!

Throughout the week, they learned Portuguese words, explored the history of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and even played Brazilian games during class. It’s been a fun way to combine learning, culture, and training on the mats.

We have exciting themed weeks planned for almost every week this summer! To learn more about our Kids Program or to schedule a free trial class, visit GardenStateBJJ.com.

Last night I had the honor of guest instructing at Radji Barrett Jiu-Jitsu. We covered a mount escape series with several options to transition into Single Leg X Guard based on how your opponent reacts to the shrinking mount escape.

Professor Radji has built an outstanding academy with a welcoming atmosphere and high-level instruction. If you’re in the Fords or Metuchen area and looking for a great place to train, I highly recommend checking it out!

Today’s 12 PM class got a surprise delivery from Jocko Fuel… on a freight truck! 🥤🚛🥋

As of December 2025, Garden State Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Academy has raised over $180,000 for Tap Cancer Out. Last December, we were recognized as the #1 fundraising team in the world for Global Grappling Day 2025, raising $50,651 and earning today’s generous donation of 28 cases of Jocko Fuel from Jocko Willink.

A huge thank you to everyone who has donated, participated, volunteered, and supported these efforts over the years. We’re also grateful to Tap Cancer Out for giving us the opportunity to use Jiu-Jitsu to make a positive impact and to Jocko Willink for providing such an awesome prize for our team.

GSBJJ Adult Program students: the drinks will be available first come, first serve. Feel free to grab any combination of 6 Jocko Fuel energy and/or protein drinks next time you’re in the academy until they’re gone! Bring a bag if you can!
