Jiu-Jitsu NYC

We train hard. We sacrifice. We show up day after day.
But moments like this—when family and friends are there to support, to witness the journey, that’s what it’s all about.

The real gold medal isn’t around our neck… it’s standing right next to us. 🥇❤️

Snow day at the academy ❄️🥋
Built a Jiu-Jitsu snowman… solid base, great balance, unstoppable sweep game. Promoted him to blue belt on the spot. 💙😂

Even in a blizzard, we’re leveling up.

🔥 What a night on our HOME TURF in Queens! 🔥

To be able to compete in a Team Series right here in our backyard meant everything to us. Representing Jackson Heights, Queens with our people in the crowd, our students cheering, and our community behind us… that’s special.

Huge thank you to .studio for hosting and to for putting together such a well-run, high-level event. The energy was incredible from start to finish. 🙏

We’re blessed to have a team that reflects the diversity of Queens — different backgrounds, different stories, one common goal. Most of us grind 9–5 jobs, run businesses, take care of families… and still find the time to train with and for each other. That’s what makes this team different. That’s what makes this family.

Yeah, we came in second again… but the vibes were right. The heart was right. The unity was right. And trust me — we’re just getting started.

We can’t wait for the next opportunity to showcase the Jiu-Jitsu coming out of Jackson Heights, Queens.

So much love and appreciation for the athletes that put on the show:

Queens stand up. 👊🔥

We were beyond thrilled to host Athena’s birthday party and give everyone a little window into who she is—an amazing person and a martial artist in the making.

We kicked things off with LASER TAG 🔫😄 (pure chaos, pure laughter), then switched gears into kickboxing basics (hands up, feet moving, confidence rising), jumped into Jiu-Jitsu fundamentals (balance, control, teamwork), and finished with the ultimate finale: MMA time—mixing both arts into fun, safe drills that had everyone feeling like superheroes. 🦸‍♀️🦸‍♂️🔥

Happy birthday, Athena—thanks for letting us celebrate you the AT way: good vibes, hard work, and a whole lot of laughs. Want a party that’s actually FUN and burns off all that cake energy? DM us “BDAY” 🎉

More than just a Jiu-Jitsu school. ✅
At , our striking program is built for people who want to get better on and off the mats.

Here’s the truth about our sparring days:
It’s not a brutal slugfest. It’s technical, controlled, and coached. We’re here to sharpen timing, footwork, defense, and composure… not to “win” practice.

And no, you won’t find a room full of “pretend tough guys.”
You’ll find a room full of martial artists who show up, get busy, and work hard every day.

Come train. Build skill. Build character. 🔥🥊

Winter makes everything a little harder. ❄️

Getting out of bed? Harder.
Walking to the gym? Colder.
Warm-ups? Longer.
Grip fighting? Somehow meaner because everyone’s hands are frozen. 😅

But if you can drag yourself in, get a few good rolls, and leave tired (in the best way)… it’s worth it every time.

Come shake off the winter and train with us. Beginners welcome. 🥋🔥

Belt tests at AT Jiu Jitsu NYC are always a good time 🙌

They’re not just about earning a new color around your waist — they’re a moment to pause, reflect, and celebrate all the hard work we’ve put in. Not just in 2025, but in all those hours we’ve spent on the mats: drilling, sweating, failing, learning, and coming back stronger.

The support, the smiles, the nerves, the hugs, the camaraderie — that’s what makes it all worthwhile. 🥋❤️

Huge congratulations to everyone who tested today. We’re proud of each and every one of you. This is just another step forward in your journey. 🌟
