Igor Gracie Jiu Jitsu Academy

Great place to train, all the instructors are highly qualified and care about your development in the art. The dojo is a brand new facility very clean with nice locker rooms. All the people that I’ve trained there with are friendly and great training partners. Definitely check Igors Gracie’s in New Rochelle.

I am an experienced jiu jitsu practitioner and I can say that this is a phenomenal academy. I have trained at many of the local schools as well as in other states and I have rarely been this happy with the training. Here are my reasons:
1. The instructors: in addition to Igor Gracie, one of the best grapplers in the world, the coaches, Joao and Ramon are amazing. They are dedicated, nice, fun, and unbelievably technical. They have complete knowledge of the sport.
2. The class structure: the training is smart, tough, and safe. Part of the class is devoted to conditioning, part to technical instruction, and part to training (rolling). Students always know what to expect and feel safe pushing themselves. The instructors run things extremely professionally.
3. The facilities: it is easy to get to, has more than enough parking steps from the door, and the instructors maintain an impeccably clean environment.
4. Fitness: you always sweat and get a great workout.
5. The students: everyone has a great attitude and is fun to train with.
