Chris Ulbricht
I’m Chris Ulbricht, Owner & Head Instructor here at Garden State Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Academy.
Over my many years of teaching martial arts, one thing I’ve enjoyed the most is training children and watching them grow.
But more important than the martial arts skills they learn… is the personal skills they develop and carry for life. Because martial arts is not just about arm bars and takedowns, and getting the next colorful belt.
It’s about developing confidence, discipline, character, focus and respect.
To be sure, these classes develop muscles and flexibility. More than that, however, they build strong minds and strong spirits, which will serve them well in all areas of life.
Regardless of a child’s level of fitness, as they learn different techniques and feel the difference in their movements, they grow in self-esteem and self-awareness.
The best part? Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is a ton of FUN!
I’ve seen lots of kids light up learning Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, so I feel confident that your children will love it too.
Please check out more information about how our Jiu-Jitsu training might benefit your child, then give us a call if you have any additional questions.
Thank you, and we hope to see your child soon!
Any of these challenges?
Every child has unique challenges. Even children who are intelligent sometimes have trouble paying attention at school, at home, or in other important situations.
Maybe they’ve never been diagnosed with ADHD or ADD, but it still feels like you have to tell them to do something repeatedly before they do it.
Maybe focusing isn’t the problem. Perhaps they feel awkward or shy, or they have trouble making friends. Perhaps they’re being bullied. Maybe they wish they had more confidence.
THE DIFFICULTIES OF RAISING CHILDREN ARE NEAR ENDLESS
Raising children is never easy, but it only seems to get tougher with each generation and the complications of technology and modern life. However, you don’t need to cajole, plead, raise your voice, or be stern to change how they behave and set them on a positive path.
You can teach your children the value of hard work, self-discipline, and respect in a natural, effective, and empowering way through Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu classes for children also promote fundamental habits of safety, fitness, and health.

LIFELONG CHARACTER AND SUCCESS TRAITS
Friends aren’t your only concern as far as your child’s character development goes. Social media alone gives you plenty to fret about regarding questionable and negative influences.
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu classes can be a productive and nurturing environment for your child’s character, giving them building blocks for success and the courage to stay true to what’s right, even when you’re not nearby. We’ve seen how positive interactions with their instructors and teammates as children learn various techniques draw out and enrich other parts of their personalities, making them shine.
FITNESS DISGUISED
Our busy schedules mean that many families eat on the go during the week, which doesn’t make for the healthiest diet. Laptops, tablets, and video games- plus hoverboards and scooters- don’t encourage regular exercise, either. About 1 in 6 children aged 2 to 19 is considered obese, government statistics show.
Our Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu training provides children with plenty of exercise and also plenty of fun. Our games, drills, and other activities avoid making training repetitious so that children learn to enjoy moving their bodies.
As our young students become healthier, they become stronger, sleep better, and develop a healthy appreciation for exercise that stays with them as they become adults.
SELF-DEFENSE THAT REALLY WORKS
Every parent wants to keep their child safe yet also to know what to do when they’re in trouble, even if they never have to use those skills.
Our Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu for kids teach how to take the tension out of a situation without using violence if possible. That said, we also emphasize how to recognize when using force is necessary.
We meet children at their fitness level and train them in the skills they need to protect themselves in a variety of circumstances.
TONS OF F-U-N !!
We’ve talked a lot about discipline, but we always remember that children are children. They deserve to grow and learn at their pace- and to have fun!
While the regular school day might not always make learning a pleasurable experience, we assure you that your child will enjoy coming to our Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu sessions. We make learning rigorous yet fun by ensuring that our students are never bored and that classes don’t feel repetitive.
All coaches and head instructors are super helpful, as well as fellow training partners. From beginners to advanced the moves will challenge you. Kids learn moves super fast and have fun.
Great place to train. Tons of experience at all levels. Great place for kids as well. Chris is an awesome teacher along with everyone who takes time to help out in class. Couldn’t ask for more. The Jiu Jitsu and kickboxing is a level above the rest.
For years I have given myself reasons or excuses why I don't have time to pursue Jiu-Jitsu, I finally joined Garden State BJJ after wanting to for a long time. The people here are awesome, everyone has been friendly and supportive. The class schedule has been great and easy to attend. After an hour class I walk out of there feeling better physically, relieved of stress mentally and satisfied with how much I had just learned, The workouts and technical approach to BJJ has been so much fun and I can't wait until the next class! The experience so far has exceeded my expectations, my only regret is that I didn't join sooner.
This is the best place to train at. The class times are great to work around my schedule. You are always pushed to work to hard and the whole team makes you feel like you’re a family. Everyone really cares and wants to see your improvement.
Stopped in for some training while I was in the area and was very impressed with the facility, instruction, and overall atmosphere. I will definitely drop in any time I am in town!
I enrolled my son then 6 yr old son, almost 5 months ago and I am amazed at the impact it has had on him. Several friends and family members have commented on how much his focus and attention have improved, and I attribute it to jiu-jitsu 100%, as not much else has changed. I see how the coaches command and maintain the kids' focus. I particularly like Coach Gino's style of giving them consequences for not paying attention or talking in class (a consequence might be sitting out a game). For my son this has worked wonderfully. All the coaches are amazing. I can't say enough good things about Garden State Brazilian Jiu-jitsu and coaches, so I am happy to see my son's progress reflect their work and dedication.
My experience with Garden State Brazilian Jiu Jitsu has been nothing but positive. The instructors are of the highest caliber, providing relevant and personalized instruction, as well as appropriately leveled training. All of my training partners have been friendly and helpful as well. GSBJJ is the exact kind of school I was looking for and I hope to train there for many years to come. I would recommend it to anyone interested in BJJ.
Very good school. My kids love it.
Great atmosphere. I came to Garden State BJJ with zero prior experience and cannot recommend it enough.
My 7 year old daughter began classes a few months ago, and I can't express how impressed I am with the studio and staff. The classes are not only teaching her valuable martial arts techniques, she's learning to be disciplined, getting a great workout, all while having a great time. If you're on the fence between this studio and another one, I highly recommend going with this school.
One of the best places to train in the area. Whether you are just dropping in for a class, attending a seminar or beginning your Jiu Jitsu journey, Garden State Brazilian Jiu Jitsu has what your looking for. The coaching staff is phenomenal and fellow members of the gym are always warm and welcoming. Highly recommended.
I began my training back in March 2021, and was welcomed with open arms by not only Chris and Julian, two amazing coaches. But by all the other members no matter what rank they may be everyone is always willing to help out and better ourselves. If you’re thinking of a New Years resolution list, I would definitely put on begin training at garden state BJJ on there!
