In the bustling state of New Jersey, where skyscrapers kiss the sky and everyone talks a mile a minute, there exists a secret tribe of kids. They are not your average everyday kids. No, no, they are the Jiu Jitsu Juniors! Every day, after they've tackled their math homework and eaten their vegetables (yuck!), they transform. They trade their school uniforms for gis and turn into Jiu Jitsu ninjas! Of course, they have a leader, a quite unusual one. Let me introduce you to Grandmaster Gerald, although he prefers the name "Gerry the Geico". Now, he's not an insurance salesman, but a gigantic, jolly green gecko who walks upright and wears a black belt! With a Jersey accent so thick, it's like a creamy bowl of clam chowder, he teaches them the art of Jiu Jitsu. These daring kids flip and roll around, defying gravity like acrobats in a circus. Through their Jiu Jitsu journey, they learn to be strong, brave, and respectful. Despite their small size, their spirits are as big as the Garden State itself! They call themselves the "Jitsu Sprouts". And, they’re as diverse as the tomatoes in Jersey's famous salads - some are as tough as raw Jersey turnips, while others are as sweet as fresh-picked blueberries. But when they’re together, they create a delicious mix, just like a Jersey hoagie! As the sun sets in the Jersey sky, they end their day with a secret handshake and a hearty laugh. Then, with gis over their shoulders, they become everyday kids again. But remember, inside each of them, a Jiu Jitsu Junior always lurks, ready for the next adventure with Gerry the Gecko!

The Girl Fight program was established in 2009, by Martial Arts enthusiast Prairie Rugilo. After nearly 15 years of being the only girl on the mats. Her goal was to inspire a few girls to try real Martial Arts. Over a decade later, we’ve produced numerous Martial Artists, fighters and female coaches. So many amazing accomplishments have happened at Girl Fight, just because a hand full of girls stepped outside of their comfort zone, while looking for a fun way to “get in shape”.
The “Nicholas Scott Catone Training Center” named after Nick’s late son is a 31,300 square foot state of the art training facility located in Bricktown NJ, and is a Ricardo Almeida / Renzo Gracie affiliate gym. We first opened a 3,200 square ft. facility on September 18, 2010. The following year, in November of 2011, the academy expanded to a 5,200 square ft training facility. Just two years later in November of 2013 we expanded a second time to 8,000 square ft. facility. On December 19, 2017 Nick Catone purchased the building we now occupy, which opened its doors September 8, 2018 on Nick’s late son Nicholas’s 3rd birthday who unexpectedly passed away at the age of 20 months on May 12, 2017. The beautiful facility was built and now stands in memoram of his son Nicholas.
