Elite Brazilian Jiu Jitsu
About Elite Brazilian Jiu Jitsu
At Elite Brazilian Jiu Jitsu in Newark, Delaware, we offer instruction rooted in the lineage of Master Robson Moura — one of the most decorated competitive BJJ figures of his generation and a cornerstone of the Nova Uniao association. Located at 280 E Main Street, we bring championship-level technique to every class we teach.
Our approach is built on the belief that every student is part of the Elite BJJ team. That team mentality shapes how we train: members support each other in class, encourage each other through plateaus, and celebrate each other's growth. The curriculum covers the full spectrum of BJJ positions and submissions, with specialized seminars and targeted training sessions that keep the instruction fresh and the skill ceiling high.
Elite BJJ provides a clean, safe training environment in the heart of Newark. Whether you are brand new to Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu or a seasoned practitioner looking for quality training partners and world-class lineage, you have found the right place.
Reviews
Fantastic. Extremely welcoming atmosphere and overall chill vibe. Was shocked at how well everyone got along and truly wanted to help each other grow in the sport. Jeff (the owner) is a great guy and knows his stuff. He built a pretty cool culture here. My favorite part is that most of the upper belts are patient with the whites and will let them "work" for a while during live rolls. 10/10 would recommend.
Excellent gym! Great competition for all skill levels. Welcoming and professional. If you haven’t tried BJJ this is a great place to start! Jeff Mitchell runs a great place!
Have not officially started here yet but I can tell you I am very big on first experiences. I did a trial class last year and everyone was very friendly and welcoming. In comparison to other Bjj schools in the area, I would say that the owner here is the most humble and caring of his students. There were one or two other schools in town I took off my list of consideration just because of the genuine vibe in which you experience from coming here.
Awesome place to learn BJJ both at the basic and advanced level. The people are very helpful towards beginners and Jeff is a great instructor! Would recommend to anyone looking to get healthier, both physically and mentally.
I travel to many different BJJ gyms, and I must say this gym is the real deal. They've had UFC guys train there. Their instructors have World titles, and the vibe is incredible. A good mix of males and females and an overall great spot. Highly recommend dropping in to try them out.
