My son loves training here and we feel like a part of the family. The passion of teaching can be felt the moment you walk in, Sensei Edson develops a bond with the kids teaching respect and discipline and having fun at the same time. I highly recommend this place to all generations that want to learn BJJ or Judo.

Carvalho Judo and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is one of the longest running BJJ and Judo schools in the state of New Jersey. Excellent instructors and a great training environment for competitors and hobbyists alike.nThe academy has lockers, changing rooms, and shower. I also want to add the cleanest mats in North Jersey. If you want to learn the grappling arts, this is the place to be!

My daughter goes to this school. I speak from experience and personally know many of the local bjj instructors. Edson is a legitimate honest black belt instructor for judo and bjj. The mat is clean and the classes are friendly while maintaining a high level of training. You will learn real judo and bjj here, in a comfortable setting, and get a great work out. Whether you are looking to take your game to the next level or get in shape and learn the basics of self defense, this is a great place to train.
