Reviews
Sneaky Panda is an awesome place for kids. Dave has a great personality and is very knowledgeable about martial arts, with a good way of teaching different age groups. The gym is big and open, so it doesn’t feel tight like some other places I’ve visited in the area, giving kids plenty of room to practice and have fun. I also think Jiu-Jitsu is a fantastic way for kids to learn skills that help them in everyday life.
My name is Maria. I signed my daughter up who is 6 years of age and she absolutely loved training with Dave ! This is her first extracurricular activity and she did so well ! Hopeful that this will help get out all that extra energy & also build a stronger foundation on her focus and confidence. Yesterday had me super excited seeing her in action it got me thinking of trying out the adult class lol ! Dave is a great instructor and does very well with the kiddos 🙌🏼 His patience and assertiveness is on point 🎯 i highly recommend this program for all age groups, they make you feel like family from the moment you walk in the door !!
Sneaky Panda is an awesome place to train BJJ! Dave is a fantastic instructor who explains everything clearly and gives precise instructions that really help you improve. The atmosphere is welcoming, and you can tell he truly cares about his students’ progress. Highly recommend!
From a family of five Sneaky Panda has been a game changer! Our whole family trains at Sneaky Panda, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. From day one, we were welcomed like family. The environment is clean, safe, and incredibly positive for both kids and adults. Instructor Dave is phenomenal he’s patient, knowledgeable, and truly passionate about what he does. He knows how to challenge you while keeping things fun and engaging, no matter your age or skill level. Our kids look up to him, and even the adults in our family leave every class feeling stronger and more confident. We’ve trained at other places before, but nothing compares to the community and instruction at Sneaky Panda. Whether you’re looking for fitness, self defense, or just a supportive place to grow, this is the gym for you. Highly recommended for families!
Dave is a great guy and a phenomenal instructor! He has a clear vision for Sneaky Panda and has created a friendly and supportive atmosphere. Dave provides top-notch instruction to everyone, whether you are brand new or with years of experience!
Frequently Asked Questions
IS THERE A FREE TRIAL CLASS?
Absolutely. We invite all prospective students to try their first class free at Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Phillipsburg. It's the best way to experience our training environment, meet our coaches, and see if BJJ is right for you. No experience or equipment needed — comfortable athletic clothing is fine.
DO I NEED ANY EXPERIENCE TO START?
No experience necessary! Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Phillipsburg welcomes complete beginners. Our instructors break down every technique step by step, and our community is known for being welcoming and patient with new students. Everyone starts as a white belt, and that's exactly where you should start too.
WHAT SHOULD I WEAR TO MY FIRST CLASS?
For your first visit, comfortable athletic clothing works perfectly — a t-shirt and shorts or athletic pants. Once you commit to training regularly, you'll want to invest in a gi (kimono). Our coaches can recommend quality options at a range of price points.
HOW OFTEN SHOULD I TRAIN?
Most students at Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Phillipsburg train 2 to 3 times per week and see consistent progress. Showing up regularly matters far more than training intensely once in a while. We offer multiple class times throughout the week so you can find a schedule that fits your life.
DO YOU OFFER CLASSES FOR KIDS?
We primarily serve adult students. Please contact us directly to ask about availability for younger students — we're happy to point you in the right direction.
