Headed by Mike Prudencio, One World Jiu Jitsu Academy had its humble beginnings and has grown significantly through the years and within that span has been home to quite a few experienced BJJ practitioners. Mike and his team do a fine job in cultivating a strong community through respect for each other and the gym - the annual friend and family social events always have a good showing! Whether you've had some experience in the sport and are looking for a new gym with great people to train, a completely newcomer to anything related martial arts, or perhaps a parent looking for an extracurricular for your child, One World will open their arms to you with something to offer. Although One World was not our first introduction to Brazilian jiu jitsu while we researched for gyms, it ranked highest on our list due to the location, flexibility of the scheduling, training space, and coaching staff. Just a couple blocks away from the highway and being quite central in Newark, the gym is easily accessible. There's plenty of parking since most of the other establishments here aren't well frequented or mainly warehouses/non-customer facing offices. Adult classes are offered multiple times a day (early morning at around 630, mid morning at 11, and evening at 6) almost everyday of the week. The kids classes are also offered multiple days of the week (weekday evenings around 5 and Saturday mornings around 10). There may be different days/times for gi and no gi but they have a convenient online calendar that is kept up to date. Each session typically consists of warmups, drills, techniques, and open rounds of rolling. They also have two mat areas. The main mat area is huge and can accommodate large classes (sometimes the kids classes can get upwards of 30-40) with still ample amount of space for training and drilling. The secondary mat area is primarily used for no gi training when the main mat area is being used for instruction. And finally the coaching staff consists of some really experienced instructors in addition to Coach Mike. Their attention to detail and ability to motivate the athletes adds tremendous value to each visit. In addition, the instructors for the kids classes are so patient while firm to enable each kid to grow and advance at their own pace. For those looking to advance their game, Mike and his team of coaches will enable you to hone the fundamentals in addition to expanding your toolkit of techniques. The group of folks coming to this gym check their ego at the door and are all very willing to share and learn from each other. There are quite a few competitors who will certainly push your limits and help you get to the next level. If you're a newbie, welcome to the club! We all started one way or another but what's important is that you start and keep coming back. Time on the mat will level up your game and with some patience and dedication, you'll continue to build confidence, get fit, and develop practical skills for self defense and competitions. And as a parent, you'll feel right at home with fellow parents who have also sought out an activity for their children to participate in to gain intangible skills (confidence, self discipline, conflict resolution, social belonging, mentorship to name a few) while learning some practical techniques for self defense. They start children as young as 7 years of age but it may also depend on their maturity. I personally came in with no formal martial arts experience and have to say, it was one of the best decisions. As a father, finding a new hobby to enjoy on my own as well as with my children and redefining myself as the kiddos grow up has made this journey a very rewarding experience. The community has been great to foster that personal growth and it's been fun to bring the new generation into the sport. Overall, One World Jiu Jitsu Academy is by far one of the greatest places for an in-depth introduction and continued education of Brazilian jiu jitsu. If you're interested, consider coming in for a trial class and see for yourself if the gym and sport is right for you!

    Looking for a great Chinese martial arts experience for your young ones? Legend Kung Fu Academy…read morewill incorporate training self defense, discipline, and traditional wushu techniques for kids as young as 5. Give their trail class a go and see for yourself! We have been attending the academy for about 2 years now and have been satisfied with our experience so far. There are some painpoints but they aren't unique to Legend. Legend follows a traditional belt promotion structure where students will start from a white belt, then continue to promote to yellow, yellow black, green, green black, purple, purple black, blue, blue black, brown, brown black, red, red black, red double black, black, black red, then finally black double red. Each promotion requires with an increasing amount of skills and typically a new series of hand and weapon forms and sequences. Promotions are typically held once a month and students deemed ready are invited to participate. The promotion events are quite interesting as each student will take the floor to perform their sequence, gain feedback from the instructors, and compete at times for higher ranks (for small little prizes like medals, trophies, sweets or toys). It's a wonderful experience for the students to build confidence and surround themselves with other like-minded students driven toward the same goal of moving up to the next level. For students who are looking to participate in local, national, and international competitions for kung fu or wushu will have the opportunity to elevate themselves into Legend's competition team. This group focuses on building skills and techniques necessary to compete at a high level against other schools. Students in this team would also typically have additional classes that may be longer than the normal non-competitive group. The class structure for the typical student can be challenging to master the techniques without regular practice outside of class. Each class is about 45 minutes long and over half of it is spent on warm ups, stretches, games designed to improve footwork and speed, and fundamental skills like jumping, rolling, blocking, kicking and punching. The remainder of the time is split among all the different sequences. To add, the class ratio can sometimes be abysmal but other times can be fair. Realistically, your child may get 2 to 3 minutes of dedicated instruction for their routine. If only attending class once a week, practice for that routine will need to be heavily subsidized by outside training in order retain the knowledge and promote incremental improvements. It's mostly recommended to attend twice a week for best results but the cost can rack up quickly. An alternative to growth is to sign up for their summer camps which tend to focus solely on their routine for a whole week. By the end of the week, theoretically the student should have enough experience to get promoted to the next level. They have full and half day programs during the summer so check them out! One thing Legend does do really well is incorporate fun into their programs. The kids certainly have a great time and have ample opportunities to bond with their classmates and instructors. The academy also participates in local community events and performs at local schools to promote the art of wushu so there are plenty of opportunities for your child to get exposure in a public performance setting. In addition, given that a few of the instructors (Shifu Li and Shifu Zhou) speak Mandarin fluently, upon request, they may be able to provide instruction in Mandarin for your Mandarin learners. Otherwise English will be used. Overall, if you're looking for a well balanced physical activity for your child with the opportunity to learn some self protection and body control, Legend Kung Fu Academy is a great institute to consider!

    We absolutely love Chris Jones Jiu Jitsu! Enrolling my daughter has been one of the best decisions…read morewe've made. Since she started, we've seen such an incredible improvement in her confidence, patience, and discipline--skills that extend far beyond the mats and into her everyday life. Every single coach is truly amazing. They are patient, encouraging, and genuinely care about each child and their growth. They create such a positive, supportive environment where kids can learn, build confidence, and have fun while being challenged. We are so grateful for everything they've done for our daughter, and we couldn't recommend Chris Jones Jiu Jitsu highly enough. If you're looking for a place that truly invests in your child's development, this is it!

She's made new friend and everyone is respectful. The staff is great, they know each kids name. They also have this awesome rule where parents are only allowed to watch the last week of the month to see the progress tour kid has made. Another awesome rule is that parents are not to get involved or give instruction to their kids. If you do, you will be told. I love this! You don't have to deal with any obnoxious parent trying to direct their kid. This place builds confidence and teaches. My husband loves the adult classes. The people are progressing and the environment is friendly. Make-up classes are allowed. They also have a Zen planner app where you can reserve your spot. The place looks clean and there is plenty of parking. Prices are reasonable. I would recommend this place for adults and kids. It's a great place with awesome staff.

We are so grateful for the valuable teachings from Master Nile and Master Sunny over these two years. While Taekwondo is often associated with physical fitness and martial arts, I truly appreciate how they weave in important life lessons. There's always a thoughtful "topic of the week," and they consistently incorporate it into each session in a meaningful way. The environment is warm, welcoming, and incredibly organized. The instructors are always available to answer questions, and the assistant instructors deserve a huge shout-out as well--they are so encouraging, motivating, and patient with the kids. This has been our favorite after-school class so far, and we couldn't be happier!
