Once the decision was made that our kids would be taking Jiu-Jitsu classes, our goal was to find a school that was nurturing and provided good structure without using intimidation tactics, a place where there is mutual respect between teachers, students, and peers, and an environment where our kids could grow and could become an extension of that family. Most importantly, we wanted our kids to have Professors that were highly qualified, with a good reputation and resume. Let me start off by saying that Vitor Shaolin Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Academy met and exceeded all of our expectations.

I've been fortunate to train BJJ all over the world, so I was happy to find VSBJJ when we moved to NJ.
Shaolin and Andre are world class competitors and teachers, who can teach all levels. There
passion, knowledge and skill is shared in a great family environment and welcoming vibe.
My kids train there as well and they love learning this awesome self defense art. Sharing the common interest helps us connect. #TeamShaolin

The amount of support , feedback, and will to become better that Vitor and all the coaches at this gym provide is heartwarming. The coaches provide a well balanced curriculum of team work and one on one training that will make even the newest of white belts feel powerful. Everyone is extremely kind and professional creating a super positive environment. The level of understanding of the arts of Brazilian jiu jitsu that the coaches have will surely bring your game to the next level.

Also, the new space is beautiful, clean and accommodating for parents and siblings who stay to observe the class.
We love it here!

After visiting various places around my area, we decided that Vitor Shaolin was the academy to introduce Jiu-jitsu to my daughter. The facility is very clean, instructors are always encouraging the kids to do their best. They are very friendly and kind, coming up with extra activities for the kids to interact with each other. I'm glad that after all the searching and trying we found a place with very committed instructors in a very warm environment.
For those curious about prices....they are very reasonable, classes are 1 hour but they can run longer (this is how committed these people are) they

My daughters have been practicing BJJ for over 1 year. They have learned so much at VSBJJ. They have made some friends there as well. The instructors Victor and Andre are super professional, keep them engaged and are focused on safety and technique. The coaches go an extra mile to make sure the kids are leaning. Often the classes are extended a little longer so they can answer questions or give individual instructions.
I highly recommend this place.

I started my daughter 11 at the time at VSBJJA a little over a year ago. Vitor, Andre and the staff have provided an excellent atmosphere of confidence building, discipline and respect. The coaching is world class. My daughter continues to learn great tools that help her in all areas of her life. Physically and mentally. She has also made a great host of friends. It has been an overall great experience in so many ways. The grand opening of the new location is also a great thing to be a part of for the whole Shaolin family. It is a beautiful facility. Highly recommend VSBJJ for any age.
