Did you know you could get in shape training jiu jitsu in Totowa, NJ? Did you know you could do it for FREE for 30 days? Alot of people have the common misconception that most students train for self defense or competition. As a matter of fact, a large majority of students come to NJ United Mixed Martial Arts with one goal in mind; to get in shape training jiu jitsu. Furthermore, although many students also train for self defense purposes, less than 10% of students actually train for competition or mixed martial arts. That’s what makes Brazilian Jiu Jitsu so appealing, its versatility in the benefits that students get from practicing the “gentle art.”
Now most people have heard about NJ United MMA student Corey and how he burned off an astounding 59 pounds training Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, but there is a new student looking to follow Corey’s footsteps. Let me introduce you to one of NJ United MMA’s newest members, Mike. In the short time Mike has been training he has already lost 22 pounds and shed 20 inches off his waist! Mike has made some great progress so far which is a testament to his hard work, as well as the support system at NJ United Mixed Martial Arts. When Mike first joined the NJ United family he was just looking to get in shape training jiu jitsu, but now he’s found a martial art and a hobby that he’s passionate about. Keep up the great work Mike! Check back to see Mike’s progress and watch the transformation!

I want to give a big congratulations to one of my instructors Jared Weiner on the 10 year anniversary of his academy, BJJ United in Jenkintown, PA. BJJ United is what inspired me to name my academy (NJ United) out of respect for all the hard work that we put in training there. The two hour drive each way was well worth it to get some amazing jiu jitsu training in….
We had a great night of Monday classes. The Little Spartans trained hard, and we some fun drills and games. BJJ 101 class was packed as usual, everyone is picking up the technique very quickly. We also had a surprise BJJ Black Belt visitor come in and train at no gi jiu jitsu class! We finished off the night with some great drilling and sparring in MMA class. Keep up the great work guys! I expect some amazing things in 2012!
