New City JiuJitsu offers top tier martial arts instruction!
Seriously, look no further than New City Jiu Jitsu. I’m in beginners kickboxing with Coach Tim and beginners jiu jitsu with Coach John. Both coaches are incredibly knowledgeable/skilled, excellent communicators, and deeply committed to guiding their students toward success. Joining New City has profoundly impacted my life in ways I never anticipated. My confidence has skyrocketed, my body feels stronger, and I always leave class feeling better than when I walked in. As a woman, stepping into a male-dominated sport can be intimidating, but New City has shown their dedication to keeping the community respectful and supportive of everyone. So if you’re even considering it—DO IT. You won’t regret joining the NCJJ fam!❤️
There’s no better place to learn martial arts than New City Jiu-Jitsu. I’ve spent over a decade learning jiu-jitsu from many different instructors, and I can confidently say that none of them match the level of detail and attention that Coach Tim provides. Coach Tim not only gives superb instruction, but he also creates a welcoming environment for all who want to learn. Whether you are brand new or have some experience, New City Jiu-Jitsu is the best martial arts school you can choose.
As an educator with 15 years experience, it’s easy to spot a good teacher. Tim is passionate, clear, and efficient in his instruction. I’ve always been curious about Kickboxing and had heard good things about New City. Since I’ve started there a couple months ago, I’ve lost 15 lbs and gained more time with my family. His patience allows you to hone technique and dig into the minutia of the art. New City makes people of all backgrounds feel welcomed. As one of the old fogies in class, I felt the support from the more seasoned, younger students right from the get go. Hoping they provide a children’s class at some point because I will definitely be enrolling my son.
The community that coach tim and coach john manage to create at new city is incredible. As someone new to martial arts, in just under 2 months i have learned so much thanks to their ability to break down techniques and create a system that’s approachable at all skill levels. The culture here is like a family dynamic. Coach Tim makes it a very fun atmosphere without sacrificing his elite coaching skills. The best school i could have found to pursue my journey in martial arts.
I have been with New City Jiu Jitsu for a bit and couldn't be happier with my decision to join. The curriculum is comprehensive and well-structured, catering to all skill levels from beginners to advanced practitioners. I have attended beginners, intermediate, and leg locking classes at NCJJ. Each class within levels builds on the previous one, ensuring a solid foundation and continuous improvement. The instruction is top-notch. The coaches are not only skilled in Jiu Jitsu but also excellent at teaching. They break down complex techniques into manageable steps, making it easy to understand and apply them in practice. The style of teaching and use of a detailed curriculum makes this a school rather than a gym. For me, groundwork is the most unnatural thing I can do with my body. The coaches here have a process that fine tunes each step for each student and ensures no one is left behind. The vibe here is super positive. From top to bottom, everyone is supportive, accepting, and kind. I would not hesitate to join again and can’t wait for the next class.
Ever since I've starting going here it's become one of the main highlights of my week! Tim is not only an incredible martial artist/instructor, but his knowledge on human anatomy and martial arts history is super impressive. He sets a very laid-back/positive yet structured environment that's always great to be apart of. Not only has my cardio strength, mobility, AND martial arts skill improved, but my anxiety of social and physical confrontation has extremely decreased. I feel very fortunate to be a new city Jiu-Jitsu student!
I highly recommend Tim and John as jiujitsu coaches! As someone completely new to BJJ, I found the atmosphere at the school incredibly welcoming and supportive. Tim and John strike a great balance between teaching fundamental principles and practical techniques, making it an ideal place to learn for beginners and advanced students alike. If you’re interested in checking out jiujitsu, this is the place to be!
New city Jiu Jitsu led by Coach Tim is the place you’ve been looking for to learn Jiu Jitsu. New City is an environment where everybody cares about training and growing as martial artist together. No egos just support for one another. Coach Tim has endless knowledge in martial arts and a great way of conveying lessons. Always clear, consistent, and organized. With every class i feel like I’ve learned something new and have done something good for my mind and body. Thank you Coach Tim!
Detailed, patient, and personal training. Probably the best gym I ve been to.
Very good. Usually the instructor would teach and drill however the teacher focused on explaining mechanics which was very helpful. It was very nice knowing why it worked and not just the fact that it did work. ALSO very nice environment. Would recommend
New student, great experience so far; Tim and John are patient and supportive teachers. Very friendly students, everyone knows we re here to learn - they keep it fun. Looking forward to each class!
Great place to train and super welcoming to new students.
I ve been going here for over a year and have nothing but good things to say. Tim is a great teacher, the classes are super fun, and the technique is high level. Tim provides a very detailed and thorough explanation for everything he teaches, and he also explains the history behind many moves and how they came about. The environment is always good and everyone is nice and respectful to each other. If you re looking for somewhere to train jiujitsu or kickboxing this is the place to go. If you go here you will get in better shape and have fun while learning highly valuable skills.
I ve been training here for almost a year now and have nothing but good things to say. Tim s way of teaching is amazing and the technique is high level. He has a very impressive vast knowledge of martial arts and anatomy which makes the classes even more interesting. The environment is great and everyone is nice and respectful of the way you train whether you re competitive or not. I think training here would benefit anybody because it s a super fun way to get in shape while learning valuable skills at the same time. I highly recommend New City if you re looking to get into jiujitsu, kickboxing, or mma.
I started training jiu jitsu classes over a year ago, even with the advanced level of skill here it is a beginner friendly environment. Sensei Tim and Coach Ted s comprehensive understanding of everything taught here is apparent in each lesson. The community and the variety of students that train here all possess something which to learn from. There is an active discord community with which students can find helpful and constructive answers to many helpful questions. Make sure you ask Tim to teach you buggy chokes and Imanari rolls.
If you want to learn a martial arts style that is tailored specifically to your goals, body type, and personal strengths and weaknesses, New City Jiu Jitsu is the school for you. Tim is an absolutely amazing teacher, hes very knowledgeable of anatomy and can not only teach you how to properly execute a technique and what the underlying principles are, but also what you need to do to heal from injuries and a variety of stretches for every purpose. In my experience, after having studied Jiu Jitsu at several different schools and under various instructors, I believe this is without a doubt the best martial arts school, and instructor, in the area!
Been going here for a few months now and i look forward to coming to the next class as soon as it s over. Tim s a great instructor with a sea of knowledge. I look forward to continuing training under new city.
Question how old does someone have to be to go
This was a session I didn t know I NEEDED. Tim was very professional and helped me to understand how to defend myself under varied conditions.
Been training here for a couple weeks and Ive got the vibe - its a great community. Tims a good and knowledgeable instructor and everyones looking out for each other here. Definitely recommend.
Almost one month in, and I am very happy to have chosen this gym. Tim is very knowledgeable and the community here is welcoming and supportive. I was brand new to the art, and have learned a ton already. Also, Im a huge fan of his curriculum! I highly recommend this place for anyone interested!
Ive been training at new city Jiu Jitsu for about 4 months now and I love it. Sensei Tim is a very personable instructor and it shows how much he cares for his students. He always is happy to answer questions and spend additional time to help his students grow. He holds a vast knowledge of various martial arts and is able to explain the techniques on a very deep and technical level. All his students are very welcoming and willing to also help new students along their journey. If youre looking for a place to train Jiu Jitsu this is your place, or if youre looking for more Tim has you covered with MMA classes and Kickboxing. Highly Recommended and I cant express enough how great it is for mental and physical health.
I ve trained at NCJJ several months now. Tim is a fantastic instructor. He has an incredibly vast knowledge of jiu jitsu and a real gift for breaking down and explaining difficult concepts. He s also a cool dude and the culture at the gym reflects that. Definitely would recommend!
Tim is an excellent martial arts coach, skilled at instructing people of all levels. His effective teaching has significantly improved my skills in a short time. Tims ability to provide individualized assistance makes him an exceptionally helpful martial arts teacher.
Ive been training at New City Jiu Jitsu for about a year now. Tim is incredibly knowledgeable about martial arts and is invested in his students success. He is very good at making things understandable and giving practical advice that works with your personal strengths and weaknesses in mind. I have seen so much improvement in the months I have been coming to New City Jiu Jitsu and I am so glad that this is the gym I chose to train at!
As a 35 year old woman who has never done martial arts before, I wasnt sure what to expect when I joined New City JiuJitsu 3 months ago. But after my free trial class, I was hooked! Each class contains a mix of instructional drilling and rolling (aka freestyle grappling with each other). Its a fantastic physical AND mental workout that doenst feel like a workout--its fun! Even after only a few months Im already seeing a difference in my physical endurance and my physique, and it hits the body in totally different ways from weightlifting. Most of all, Coach Tim and the assistant coaches have created a supportive community environment here. Everyone is helpful, respectful, and enjoyable to roll with regardless of level. The most advanced students will be paired up with newbies sometimes and they accept the roll without ego or a chip on their shoulder. I look forward to class each week!
Classes that are taught by someone whos knowledgeable, professional, and serious about their work.
Motivated and passionate, Sensei Tim is the best. I highly recommend checking out New City JiuJitsu.
