  I trained and taught karate for many years and always wanted to get into Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. Having no other point of reference I gave Michael Casey's school a try and soon found out there is no more legitimate Gracie School anywhere, much less in NYC. Michael maintains the philosophy (self-defense first, sport second) of the Gracie family that inspired a nation of martial artists in the early days of the UFC. He has, and shares with his students, direct access to Grand Master Relson Gracie and his brothers but just as importantly, he's cultivated the best group of assistant instructors and training partners I've experienced at any BJJ school (and I've now had the opportunity to visit quite a few). Whether you're looking for a long term adventure into a lifetime of Jiu Jitsu or just want to 'get in shape' with something more interesting than the drudgery of 'going to the gym' three days a week, I can't recommend Michael's school enough.

  Michael Casey 2nd degree black belt under Relson Gracie. One of the nicest easy going professor I have ever trained with. He is dedicated to maintaining traditional Gracie Jiu-Jitsu but has an open mind to new concepts that will improve our over all game. Mike and his instructors are all very passionate about teaching and it shows. Glad to be a part of this school.

  Instructor Mike Casey is a terrific guy, an incredible martial artist and a great teacher. His school is a fun, easy-going and safe environment, where you'll meet great people, and get supported in becoming a better version of yourself, all while having a blast learning a martial art that could literally save your life in the street one day. I wholeheartedly recommend his school to anyone, old or young.
