No contracts. No commitment. Beginners train alongside experienced practitioners — everyone progresses at their own pace.
Every student. Every goal. Every belt. We're here every step of the way.
Fort Greene BJJ is a martial arts academy at 412 Myrtle Avenue in Fort Greene, Brooklyn — the newest location built by the same team behind Renzo Gracie Bayside and Bronx Martial Arts Academy. We teach Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Muay Thai kickboxing — practical self-defense skills that build real fitness, mental toughness, and quiet confidence. Jiu-jitsu has been taught at this address since 2009, and we're proud to keep the art alive here with new ownership, new energy, and the same commitment to the craft. Beyond group classes, we also offer one-on-one private lessons for students who want focused, accelerated training built around their own goals and pace.
