Fabio Clemente StudioX BJJ

• Self defense school

"We absolutely love these guys! Our 7 year old daughter has some sensory issues and can sometimes be a challenge, but the team here worked so well to support her. This is such an incredible sport for young children!"

"I’ve been training here for a few years now and it is a great place to train. The environment is very welcoming. I came in as a blue belt after taking some time away from bjj but I felt at home from day 1. The instruction is detailed and instructors are always willing to help with whatever questions I’ve had. I’d recommend Fabios for anyone looking to train casually or competitively. On top of the instruction, the facility is also very clean"

"I have never practiced sports before and joined Team Fabio Clemente in , starting with classes 2x a week in the mornings. What I found here is a great environment, with top and dedicated coaches and teammates that are super invested in helping you improve and keep a healthy and vibrant community around the gym. The instructors are active competitors, with multiple accolades in international competitions, but still manage to be patient, kind, and super fun coaches. The head instructor, Fabio Clemente, is a living legend on this sport and a Jiu-Jitsu walking encyclopedia. The gym is always clean, has good showers, and is super close to the Union Square subway. I started with 2 classes per week but soon enough was doing 5, 6 and over the past few years have joined the team competing in tournaments in NYC and NJ."

"I can't recommend Fabio Clemente's enough. Not only is the jiu jitsu instruction top notch, but with the help of his kids (Zata & Vedha), Fabio has fostered a tremendously communal atmosphere in the gym. Whether you're an experienced competitor or someone stepping on the mats for the first time, the level of instruction and quality of training partners is unmatched. Top to bottom this is a world class facility."

"Having been to several other BJJ academies over the years, it's refreshing to arrive here as an outsider and be welcomed. Other places I've been were not welcoming at all to non-locals. So, if you're in NY on business/short term this is the go to place for you. Not only because of the very friendly/welcoming environment, but because of their very robust schedule. Professor Zata and Pedro are great instructors. They also have a brown belt female named Vedha that works here for any women that have concerns about fitting in. Professor Clemente has also been very welcoming, friendly and surprisingly humble. There is much to learn here so I hope to see you all on the mat! P.S. Vedha is really hot."
