Testimonials
My kids, ages 5 & 7, have been enrolled in the kids program for 2 years now and my wife and I are more than satisfied with their progress so far. One thing that stands out is the level of individual attention, even in the group setting. The price is also more than reasonable. I would highly recommend Pizol's BJJ to anyone interested in enrolling their children in a self defense program.

The thing that sets Pizol's academy apart from the rest is the atmosphere. In addition to providing top quality instruction Pizol creates an environment suitable for all sorts of students. Students who are geared towards competition and students who train as a hobby work together to create a supportive and friendly community. Classes are also perfectly sized allowing students to receive a diverse training experience and individual attention from Pizol himself.

My life before Brazilian Jiu Jitsu
I was always quiet when ever I was surrounded by people I didn't know i guess i was lacking confidence in my self I had trouble expressing my self I have a few good friends but I was always afraid of stepping out of the comfort zone . I ve always been in to sports and I always put hard work in to what ever I am doing that was the way my dad raised me. There was a point in my life where I was struggling with problems and it seemed like drugs and alcohol where the way out of it. because it just made it seem better while you are under the influence obviously you don't care about the rest.

I can say that after I joined jiu jitsu my life changed a lot. I gained a lot of confidence I have no problem expressing my self I can thank professor Pizol and team mates for that we all come from different walks of life but we help each other out we became a family everyone is friendly. Pizol helped me up when I was going through the worst phase of my life if it wasn't for him idk where I would be right now I would ve been a drunk probably but I am glad I met this man I look up to him because he is a fighter coming from Brazil only maybe 4 years ago not knowing English or anybody he risked everything he had and he made it happened I believe he is also helping the community with jiu jitsu helping people gain confidence not just mentally but physically it will make you fit and healthier . Jiu jitsu has taught me a lot it is a self defense art but you can apply the same discipline gained in the mats in to every day life as well.
I been here about 7 months and went from 190 to 155 pounds and mean while I was learning Jiu Jitsu. Pizol BJJ & MMA Academy can help you rehab yourself for a healthy life style, bring up your cardio, strong mind, discipline, improve your self defense skills. During this past winter of all the free time I had I was able to work with the Teacher Pizol at the kids class helping them train, its amazing the benefits that they can obtain at a young age, Jiu Jitsu can definitively discipline young kids and put their confidence up. Never the less, I will recommend everyone interested to try it. Thats how I started didn't have anything to lose, but so much to gain..

This is a great place to train! The Jiu-Jitsu is high level as well as basic if you are a beginner. The instruction is great, you learn a lot and get considerable one-on-one attention from the instructor and higher belts.
This gym is a place that provides a great workout as well as inspiration, positivity and reinforcement. This gym can be fast paced, intense and energetic at times as well as laid back when needed. Classes are every day for children and adults, and they include BJJ, conditioning, Muay Tai, Kick boxing and MMA. Professor Pizol will work individually with you and help you attain your own goals whether for competition, self-defense, structure and discipline or just for fun improvement.
What I love about this gym is that you are free to go at your own pace and there is no judgment from others and acceptance. Everyone is there to help you succeed and to push and motivate you! Every class is different so you never get bored of the same routine. Everyone is available to help you if you don't know how to do something during, before or after class.
This gym provides adults and children with the physical and mental training to further their health with classes primarily focusing on Jiu-Jitsu. But also include Kickboxing, and Muay Thai. Through physical conditioning, self-defense, and consistency, Pizol BJJ's training will boost your energy and increase your confidence.
You will not find over-inflated egos -- training and sparring is approached with the humbleness, respect, and technical detail that is needed when practicing an art that is designed to effectively and efficiently incapacitate your opponent.
Whether you're someone looking to get into shape while learning truly effective self-defense, an experienced martial artist looking for a "for life" gym to make their home, or an MMA or BJJ competitor looking to get their skills and toughness sharpened, the gym has something for everyone.
Any woman will be better off with even the basic few moves from BJJ. On that matter, surprisingly not many women around, but I never felt out of place and consider myself part of this BJJ family. The place is clean and accessible; in the center of town, plenty of parking and next to the Metro North train station.
Whether you're looking to simply get in great shape, want to learn practical realistic self-defense, or have the desire to compete in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu or fight MMA (mixed martial arts) Pizol Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Academy is an awesome place to train. It's a great family environment too. Professor Pizol really cares about the students and obviously loves what he is doing!
Try it - they offer free visits and they do not pressure you - so there is really nothing to lose!

Pizol is one of the nicest guys I have ever met. My wife thinks I love him more than her. At first I signed my 11 year old son up to a group class. But we both were hooked from his first practice and now we both take private lessons. Pizol's approach as an instructor is incredibly motivating and ego free. At every lesson we learn some cool technique and develop real skill.
Pizol has a natural ability to balance the practice to your level and boost your moral. My son's self confidence has improved so much he is literally a different boy. I feel twenty years younger. If you want the real deal go to Pizol. He is amazing with kids and someone to look up to as an adult. We are huge fans!

My two young sons currently are enrolled in the kids program at Pizol BJJ. There is not enough kind words to say about the program.
Professor Pizol has a way with kids, He is friendly, his class is fun and the kids love him. He finds a way to make learning entertaining and is always directly engaging the kids. He is very involved in the class which is why all the students look up to him. He leads the class but never shy's away from working individually with each student during the class to make sure that their fundamentals are sound.
Even though my kids are young, I have seen the difference in discipline and confidence, I have no qualms in saying Professors Pizols teaching style and interaction with my children have had a positive effect on their lives. I highly recommend enrolling your child in his classes for the benefits for their body and mind.
