Peak Jiu-Jitsu

Jon is a world-class black belt jiu-jitsu competitor, who was trained directly by one of the best and most respected BJJ fighters of all time, Marcelo Garcia. At Peak Jiu-Jitsu, that extremely high level of instruction is paired with a warm, fun, respectful atmosphere of shared learning. It’s a terrific thing to find a gym with no toxic or “aggro” bad apples, just friendly and respectful people pushing each other to be the best version of themselves!

Jon Satava is a fantastic instructor, better person, and runs one of the best schools in the tri-state area. I highly recommend anyone who lives nearby check out Peak Jiu-Jitsu!

The quality of the training is second to none, wether you're an active competitor or someone looking for a fun hobby for self defense/fitness/etc. The people who train here are all friendly and welcoming. What this place has provided me cannot be quantified with words. If you're considering training, you should come here as soon as you can.

World class instructor (Blackbelt under Marcelo Garcia) that has created an amazing training environment with a great group of talented training partners. Beautiful facility cleaned after every single training. I don’t know Marcelo Garcia personally but everyone says he’s the nicest guy on the planet, I believe Jon may rival him in that respect as well. Jon is so humble, his instructions are clear and precise, he cares about you learning and always has an extra minute to help you. He pays attention to your progress. If your anywhere close to this facility and not training here your missing

I was a student of Jon Satava for 4.5 years. He is one of the best Jiu Jitsu instructors I’ve come across, bar-none. He is very approachable, encouraging, supportive and respectful to all his students. He’s a highly knowledgeable and an excellent communicator. I consider myself lucky to have been a student and strongly recommend his academy.

Jon is one of the nicest and most detail oriented people I’ve ever met in any field. His passion for teaching and willingness to help everyone that walks through the doors should be enough to convince anyone to train at Peak. The fact that he is such a highly decorated competitor who trained under the greatest BJJ practitioner ever should seal the deal. Add in a brand new, sparkling clean academy. The gym is always spotless and the mats are cleaned after every session. Jon and his wife Halie have created such a welcoming environment for everybody. Training at Peak is easily one of the best decisions

Jon was one of my first jiu-jitsu coaches in NYC for several years and I can honestly say he is one of the nicest and most humble people I've ever met. His jiu-jitsu skills are top notch and speak for themselves, and he is also an incredibly good instructor. If you are in Long Island, train with Jon!

Jon Satava is hands one of the best instructors and training partners. I highly recommend Peak Jiu Jitsu to anyone that lives on Long Island. Jon’s accolades say it all, on top of that he’s legit one of the nicest guys you’ll ever meet. Always smiling always willing to go above and beyond to help people learn.

Jon is an amazing teacher. Incredibly knowledgeable and great attention to detail. He was one of Marcelo Garcia's best competitors. He's also one of the nicest guys you'll ever meet.

Jon Satava is one of the most detailed, step-by-step coaches you'll ever have. Once he fully understands your game, he will work with you to perfect it. Jon has always been at my corner alongside Marcelo during tournaments and has guided me to many victorious moments. On the less than victorious moments, Jon has taken his time to work on the holes of my game during class. You will not regret your decision of being a part of the Peak family!

I have had the good fortune to take Jon's classes in New York City. Jon is an excellent instructor; he patient, knowledgeable, and detail-oriented. Moreover, Jon is a world-class competitor. I highly recommend visiting and training at Jon's Gym!

Jon is both an incredibly patient teacher and very positive person overall. I am always impressed with his technical ability as well as clear explanations of concepts critical to jiu jitsu competition. Its a pleasure to see Jon teaching beginners positions, submissions and wrestling with the same enthusiasm as coaching higher belts preparing for major tournaments. Regardless of skill level, age and ability, Jon creates a welcoming atmosphere that builds strong jiujitsu.

I have known Jon Satava for a large portion of my JiuJitsu training and you will be hard pressed to find another instructor who takes the time to go over the minute details that will take your JiuJitsu to the next level. Jon is one of the most well established competitors in the game who will be showing you truly battle tested techniques that replicate Marcelo Garcia's game to the tee. On top of the JiuJitsu knowledge, Jon is a fine young man who is thoughtful and caring of his teammates and students. He really is a gem in the JiuJitsu world.
