100% recommend. I was new to Jiu Jitsu and the Jiu Jitsu Mill and did not know what to expect. On day 1 I immediately picked up on the comradery and friendliness of the training environment. Coach Jordan offers expert and detailed instruction, while staying committed to every individual's improvement regardless of their skill level. He runs the Jiu Jitsu Mill like a true professional - ensuring the quality, cleanliness, and safety of his facility. Great taste in music too! Jiu Jitsu is such an interesting martial art and a great way to burn fat and build muscle quick. Head to The Mill!read more

Training at the jiu jitsu mill has been one of the most positive experiences of my life. The place is great. The students are a wonderful group of very serious , very positive people who are great to train with and lots of fun to learn from. Coach Jordan is a superb teacher. He is also very conscientious about covid precautions. In short an amazing school, great students, a great environment to train and learn and a first class teacher. I am hooked for life.read more

This place is the real deal. My children love coming to learn, practice, and exercise. And as a team, they love joining their friends from the gym in applying their skills to competitions. During COVID, the gym has been even more so, ultra clean. The coaches have developed a methodology to keep the children separated and healthy. The Jiu Jitsu Mill is much more than a place just to learn Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. Coach Jordan is a true community leader bringing children and families alike, together. Coach Jordan and his staff truly care about their students' well-being and extend their support way beyond the gym. During the crazy world we live in today, I have to hold my children accountable for cleanliness, homework, chores, and so forth. It is a breath of fresh air to have someone I trust to hold my children accountable for their exercise.read more

I've been practicing martial arts for more than 30 years, and one year ago, when I moved to the East Coast, decided to try Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, but was afraid I wouldn't find a place where I felt as comfortable and at home as my old dojo. I was lucky to find The Jiu Jitsu Mill, with it's hard to find technical depth and drive but at the same time so friendly and welcoming. Then the pandemic hit... but the school reacted fast, first with it's online offerings then with safety protocols in different levels that allowed us to slowly go back to training according to our own perspectives on the risks behind the COVID crisis. Surprisingly, the post-covid Mill is even better, and in the last 4 months, I must say I learned and developed more than the 8 months before that. The combination of the team spirit the challenges created a tighter community feel, And the new ways of training, mixing the best of online and in person, small classes with limited training cells according to your weight+age+skill made learning more effective and more fun. As proof: before covid, I was training twice a week. Now, counting online etc, I train at least 5 times, wishing my 47 years old body could handle two more! Oss.read more

With all the BJJ gyms closed down indefinitely in NYC because of COVID, I had to find a new place to train outside of the city. I'm so glad I found the Mill. The coaches are not only absolute experts, they are also very friendly, patient and helpful. The gym is spacious and clean. The other students are welcoming and game.read more

I have been going to The Mill for over 3 years now, and never have I felt such a welcoming atmosphere at any other facility as I have in my time training here. I have made friendships here that extend outside of the jiu jitsu world, as well as a boost in my overall confidence level (only a few of the many pluses). Coach Jordan is a fantastic leader and teacher. The gym is kept very clean, which has definitely made myself and others more comfortable - especially during these unprecedented times. Whether you are looking to learn jiu jitsu, find a new hobby, or simply just want to get in shape, this is the place to go.read more

I could not have hoped for a better place for me and my family to begin our jiu jitsu journey. Coach Jordan and the entire coaching team are absolutely incredible. The professionalism and dedication to teaching is top notch and the competitive achievements of the team leave no doubt as to the quality of instruction. Most importantly, they do a wonderful job at fostering a welcoming and inclusive atmosphere that makes you want to come back and keep training as much as possible. My two young boys absolutely love training and look forward to every single class. It's been a life-changing experience for my entire family and we couldn't be more grateful to have found The Mill and for having the opportunity to train with such an extraordinary team & community.read more

As a parent, I love this place & the lessons it continues to teach my boys. ie. care for themselves and others, time mgmt, appearance. We joined for two separate reasons, one to teach patience and focus and for the other to help with weight management and self-defense and both for stress relief and movement, an added bonus is the critical thinking this sport involves. I enjoy watching my boys in the zone, they perform well because of the way the staff explains the lessons and during practice corrects the moves so they are doing the exercise properly. The staff has been on point with keeping all the kids on task and accountable. Coach Hector & Coach Ashley are excellent with younger kids. My son admires them as do I for the way they are able to quickly dial him back in with any off-task behavior, how they speak to the children, get down on their level and speak with them in a way that they can relate and understand where there may be a disconnect, they praise their accomplishments and make the kids feel good about themselves and raise self-esteem. Coach Nick Rocks with his no-nonsense, no excuse approach! Another bonus you can tell the gym is also kept clean!read more

A while ago I started training at the Jui Jitsu Mill and it was one of the best decisions I’ve made in a long time. Brand new to the sport, I was a bit hesitant but Coach Jordan wastes no time making you feel like part of the family. There is no doubt about it, Jui Jitsu is a tough sport mentally and physically but it’s also extremely enjoyable and addicting. Coach and his staff will push you every time you step on the mats but you will always leave knowing you’ve learned and improved. All of the teammates at the Mill are welcoming, encouraging, and are always happy to humbly give you pointers and help your game. Jui Jitsu is an effective self-defense and a good way to learn a lot about yourself. Training not only gives you a leg up in situation requiring you to defend yourself but it will also sharpen your mind and build up your mental toughness. I encourage everyone from all athletic backgrounds to put your trust in Coach Jordan and get on the mats AT THE MILL!read more

The Jiu Jitsu Mill is a top notch training facility offering high class Muah Thai and Jiu Jitsu training. All the coaches are motivating and encouraging while pushing you to be your absolute best. There is a real sense of a team atmosphere despite the various skill levels of the individuals training. I would highly recommend training at the Jiu Jitsu Mill to anyone who is interested in learning Muah Thai or Jiu Jitsu and willing to push themselves mentally and physically!read more

This place is great! After a 10 years hiatus, I could not have asked for a better Coach in Jordan or a better team/family environment. They are hands on and Jordan is constantly training with his students, which you don’t get at every gym. I also have my 4 year old son taking classes and he comes home smiling after each one. Aside from teaching him about hard work, respect and discipline, I love that this is something we can share.read more

The Jiu-Jitsu Mill promotes a wonderfully diverse and inclusive environment.

It's hard to find a place with schedules that accommodate people who commute to and from the city, but Jiu-Jitsu Mill provided the right amount of options. I took advantage of the early morning combat striking classes which got me back to my old self. Jiu-Jitsu Mill has great training with all its instructors (shout out to AB!) and excellent service. Highly recommend if you're getting back into training or looking for some new motivation to workout again.read more

My name says it all. I keep it real. This is hands down the best and most complete school I have ever trained in. Top notch instructors in ground and stand up fighting. Coach Jordan (Owner) and coach Carlos with all the other instructors honestly stand for what coaches should be. From very basic beginners training, to Pro fighters training and coaching and no attitude. There are levels for everyone. I’m speaking from an adult perspective but all the parents and kids seem to love this place as well. No point going anywhere else but here.read more

Needed some mat time while traveling through the US before a competition. Coach Jordan set up a next day private for me and had two ladies come in to help. Loved the training, learned some new stuff and had the opportunity to train with new people. Another plus for me was the size of the space and showers were available. Also there wasn’t any crazy loud music playing to distract from instruction. After training in several countries and states picking a gym is like picking a friend or significant other. The atmosphere, coach and friendliness of the students makes this a place I would choose if I lived in the area.read more

Nothing but positive things to say. Excellent place to train and coach Jordan is an exceptional teacher. I had trained for a number of years (5+) prior to joining the Jiu Jitsu Mill and feel my game has improved vastly under Jordan's tutelage. The facilities are modern, professional and clean and the environment is very welcoming. There is a great crew that trains there which always guarantees fun and exciting rolls. I am also impressed by the quick learning curve of new joiners, which speaks highly of Jordan's instructional acumen and training program.read more

Update: Four months in and 35lbs down so far (233-198) and no signs of slowing down. JJ is an amazing workout and builds some useful skills. Environment is everything! The people at the JJ Mill are the reason I keep going 4-5 days a week! A steady JJ regime along with eating right, you won't find a better weight loss/refining workout anywhere. Top notch gym. Jordan does an amazing job teaching and all the regulars are extremely helpful. Everyone is there to make each other better and have a great workout. The gym is very clean too. No complaints and highly recommended.read more

Excellent academy. Coach is fantastic in his ability to walk through, coach and train you through moves- while also being able to express his positive attitude and cultivate a true team environment. For children, and teens- great confidence builder. For adults- very team oriented and familial like environment, yet fosters competition and betterment of one's self. Regardless of your age, or physical appearance, everyone feels welcomed and embraced. Coach Jordan makes you see it, makes you believe it and keeps you coming back for more. Jiu jitsu isn't just a sport, it's a way of life. OSS!!!read more
