What Our Customers Say
I've been at 4 academies, and Princeton Brazillian Jiu Jitsu is by far my favorite. Emily Kwok and Art Keintz are inspiring, the focus is on learning and performance, a large number of partners participate in competitions and receive lots of support from the members and professors, and all of the instructors are expert. There is a healthy balance of men and women, and the practices are a good mix of respectful training and safe sparring. The dojo is part of the Marcello Garcia association, and Art and Emily awarded legitimate Black Belts to two students last year. This Academy is special!

This place is an absolute perfect environment for kids - the instruction and overall environment. The teaching is excellent, right balance of technical and practicality, and they make it fun for the kiddos.

I am extremely happy to have started my BJJ journey with Art and Emily at PBJJ. It’s clear to see from all of the instructors that BJJ is more to them than just a martial art and that directly translates into the culture at the gym and the attitudes from students. I originally started because I thought it was interesting. I continue to train there because the instructors are top notch, the mats are clean, and the community of students that I train with make me feel at home.
