Reviews
BJJ Shore Academy is an outstanding place to train Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. I’ve trained here for about 9 years and it’s my second home. Working up north and driving 2 hours home is definitely tough but I look forward to going to get some hard rounds at BJJ Shore Academy. From the moment you step in, you can feel the positive energy and welcoming atmosphere. Bill, the head instructor, is incredibly knowledgeable and has a talent for breaking down techniques in a way that’s easy to understand and apply. His patience, passion, and attention to detail make every class both fun and highly productive. The students and coaches create a supportive, hardworking, and welcoming atmosphere for everyone (beginners, visitors, or advanced BJJ practitioners) where you can learn and grow. Training here has not only improved my BJJ skills but also boosted my confidence and fitness. If you’re looking for a top-notch BJJ school with great instruction and an awesome community, BJJ Shore Academy with Bill is the place to be. Highly recommend! Come stop by for yourself and you’ll see what we’re all about.
I trained under Bill Scott for about a year and a half and then ended up moving out of state. Any time I am in the area, I make sure to stop in to train. Can’t say enough good things about Shore Academy. The coaching is very high level, whether that’s in the gi or nogi. The gym is also always clean and in really good shape. What I think I like the most is the amount of talented guys there are that train there so I can really challenge myself. Everyone there is really friendly and always willing to help. If you’re looking for a good spot in NJ to train, Shore Academy is definitely the spot to go to.
I’ve been training at Bill Scott BJJ Shore Academy for over 2 years, and it’s been an incredible experience. As someone who started training in my 40s, I was welcomed right away by both the coaches and the students. The academy has a very open and supportive atmosphere that makes it easy to learn and stick with it. The facility is always clean, organized, and well-maintained, which really adds to the overall positive training environment. It’s also a great place for families, my daughter trains here as well, and the kids’ program has been fantastic for her. The instructors are patient, encouraging, and know how to make training both fun and productive. Whether you’re looking to challenge yourself, stay in shape, or get your kids involved in a positive community, Bill Scott BJJ Shore Academy is a top-notch place to train.
If you are looking for a great place for a kids birthday party you definitely need to come here! I just had my son’s 6th birthday here and he loved it. I have now had three parties at Bill Scott BJJ for my kids and they just want to keep having them there! Micaela is the best, she is so organized and takes care of everything as far as decorating, ordering the pizza, and even taking pictures during the party. She does such an amazing job setting up the room and having everything ready for when we walk in! Coach Mike is absolutely fantastic with the kids, he is able to get over 20 little kids to listen and follow all the rules and games during the party. He makes the party extra fun! He is also both my kids coach for BJJ and he is an awesome coach my kids have learned so much from him. All the kids at the party had such a great time!
I’ve been training under Bill Scott for almost 2 years now. I can honestly say it’s been an incredible experience. The instructors are knowledgeable, approachable, and genuinely invested in helping every student improve. Their teaching style breaks down techniques in a way that’s easy to understand and they always make time to provide personalized feedback. Coach Mike is also amazing with the younger students, including my son who has been training for almost 3 years. The gym has a welcoming and supportive community. The facility is clean and well-maintained. What really stands out is the positive atmosphere—everyone encourages each other to grow. Training here has not only improved my BJJ skills but also boosted my confidence and fitness. I can’t recommend Shore Academy enough to anyone looking to start or continue their BJJ journey!
