Martial Arts Lyndhurst
Savarese Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Academy, located in Lyndhurst NJ, is not only one of the top martial arts schools in NJ, but one of the top Brazilian Jiu-jitsu school in the Unites States. Professor Chris Savarese, one of the first American blackbelts under the legendary Royler Gracie, is the owner and head instructor who teaches almost all the classes. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) classes are taught with and without the jiu-jitsu kimono (uniform). The classes without are called No-Gi or submission wrestling classes where just a rashguard or t-shirt and shorts are worn. BJJ classes are taught multiple times during the day. A typical class begins with a light warm up and stretch. Once everyone is loose, we teach students practical techniques and deliver personal instruction while students are drilling to ensure the class is learning and applying the techniques correctly. Once the technique has been covered, live sparring for students who wish to participate is permitted. In Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, live sparring is an integral part of the art and what separates Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu from most other martial arts. Sparring is encouraged and fun! Our Lyndhurst Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu classes will quickly whip you into best shape of your life. Savarese Jiu-Jitsu has flexible class times and opportunities to train weekday nights, weekday early morning and lunchtime classes, and weekends! There’s a class that can fit even the busiest of schedules.
Gracie Self Defense
We also offer Our Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Self Defense, Women’s Only and Kids classes. Our Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Self-Defense program is one of the only programs in NJ that offers the original curriculum that was taught by our Grandmaster Helio Gracie at the original Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Academy in Rio De Janiero, Brazil. The course includes over 100 techniques that could literally save your life during a real street confrontation. These classes were originally only taught by Grandmaster Helio through private lessons. Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is a great combat sport, but self defense is a very overlooked aspect of BJJ. Far too many BJJ schools focus only on sport competition and point tournaments. While we teach those lessons as well at Savarese BJJ, we have several dedicated times each week where our students can learn real world techniques in our self defense class. Professor Savarese is one of the first US born blackbelts under Royler Gracie and he teaches these classes that involve every aspect of self-defense including gun, knife and bat/club attacks.
Women Only Self-Defense and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu
The Women’s Self Defense is also offered at Savarese BJJ Academy. Our Women’s program was specifically designed to prepare women for real life threatening situations. Our Self Defense techniques provide the knowledge and skills for any woman to escape from her attacker, whether she is on her feet or on the ground. This course is unique because it does not rely exclusively on punching and kicking like other forms of martial arts. Punching and kicking do not represent an effective strategy against an assailant who is bigger, stronger and capable of hitting back. In addition, they are useless on the ground, which is where a rapist/attacker is most likely to assault a woman. It is structured to achieve maximum comfort for females interested in pursuing Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, this class offers a relaxed, non-threatening environment ideal for the beginner or intermediate student to grow and learn quickly under the guidance of experienced and highly-accomplished instructors. Men are not allowed in the room where the classes will be taking place unless they are an instructor. Students quickly notice an increase in flexibility, muscle strength, endurance and general well being. The idea is that the weaker and smaller can fight the bigger and stronger. This art is the best self-defense martial arts for women…period. We believe most attacks end up on the ground and we teach you how to defend yourself from there. You will learn in a very safe way chokes and joint locks that can save your life!
Kids Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Program
Our Kids Program has consistently been awarded the top Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Program in the state of New Jersey. The main goal at Savarese Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Academy is to boost the self-esteem of it’s students. This overarching goal is achieved through recognition and rewarding our student’s hard work and efforts. These acknowledgements are not only based on success in classes and tournaments but also on the effort put forth. Children who participate in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu classes quickly increase their physical fitness level. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu involves both large and small muscle groups in the body. Improvement of physical well being is not the only goal. We also aim to develop life-improvement skills as well as building the child’s character in a positive way.
