Joining Madama has been one of the best decisions Ive made in my life thus far. Being a 22 year old single mom to a newborn, I was very worried about being able to defend myself and my son, God forbid the unthinkable might occur. After my free class there wasnt even a second thought in my mind, I had to sign up! Everyone is SO welcoming and SUPER friendly. I was worried prior to class that I would be outnumber by males but that was not the case! There is so many females there and they were very excited to see another one walk through the door! The atmosphere is amazing and the coaches are truly phenomenal. A few months after joining life threw an unexpected curveball my way. I was diagnosed with cancer and it felt like my world was falling apart. I found strength from my teammates and the professors at Madama who encouraged me to get on the mats and go at my own pace. Going to Madama gave me my sanity back. I had a millions thoughts running through my mind keeping me awake at night, but all it took was simply stepping on to that mat and they vanished. Im in remission now and waiting on a final scan to clear me to go back and that day can not come quick enough. There are no words I can say to truly thank my teammates, my coaches and especially professor Josh Madama for all the support theyve given me since day one. This place isnt just a gym its like a second home, these people treat you like family. So if youre considering joining a jujitsu school look no further, this is definitely the place to go !

Let me start by saying finding Madama BJJ has been life changing for me. From the first time i walked through the doors and was greeted by Professor Madama, not with a handshake but a full on hug. You are treated as family there and the atmosphere is second to none. Ive been to a few different schools through out the state of NJ and none holds a candle to the quality of instruction we receive on a daily basis there. A previous reviewer mentioned price being over $200 a month, let me tell you thats just not true at all. I said before my decsion to enter Madama was life changing and i meant that. I am a combat veteran and suffer terribly from PTSD as well aches and pains from nagging injuries i sustained from my time fighting for our country. I now have an outlet for my PTSD and im not carrying around so much anger anymore, im not constantly doubled over in pain from getting blown up because my body is becoming more loose and limber from the safe and controlled atmosphere at Madama. The fact that they offer day and night classes is HUGE!!!! I work hard to support my family and even between work, my wifes work and my 7 year old sports he plays i still managed to get in to the gym 3-4 times a week and i want more. In closing, if you are in the Toms River or Ocean county area and want a true BJJ gym look no further than Fischer Blvd to a wonderful little place called MADAMA. See you on the mats!

Madama Jiu Jitsu is an excellent academy to learn this beautiful art. The atmosphere is friendly, courteous and you will feel welcomed as a new student. The facility itself is beautiful and state of the art. Not only will you learn one of the most effective self defense disciplines, you will also get in great shape! New students dont need to be in good shape to start Jiu Jitsu either. This will come naturally as time goes on. Professor Madama is an extraordinary instructor. His attention to detail and execution of instruction is world class. This in part because of his lineage. Professor Madama is a 2nd Black Belt under Matt Serra. Team Serra is an affiliation with Master Renzo Gracie. This allows Professor Madama to learn form the best in Jiu Jitsu which includes Professors Matt Serra, Renzo Gracie, and John Danaher. Member tuition is quite reasonable. The friendships and comradery you will acquire are invaluable. The lessons you will learn on the mat will translate to every aspect of your life. I cant stress enough how important Jiu Jitsu has become in my life. It truly has made me a better person. Madama Jiu Jitsu has made me a better person.

I moved to the area about 8 months ago from NYC. I had previously trained at Renzo Gracie in Brooklyn and was VERY concerned about moving to a new area and not being able to find a comparable school. (Which is a tall order seeing my previous school was at the top of the food chain). A couple of my friends had told me about Madama so I decided to come in for a free class. The minute I walked in and felt the energy I knew I had found a home. Josh is the real deal. The facilities are top notch, very clean, and exactly what a Jiu Jitsu school should look like. Josh and the team are very personable which really solidified me signing up. The same friendliness and inviting energy is in place today as it was the day I signed up. In fact Ive had 4 of my buddies sign up and one more referral and the next full year of BJJ is FREE on Mr. Madama! So, to say I am happy there is an understatement. If anyone in the area is looking to join a world class school- Please stop down for a free class and form your own opinion.

Where do I start? Jiu-Jitsu has saved my life in more ways than one. I was threatened to be shot and was able to take my opponent down who was easily twice the size of me using Jui-Jitsu. In class I have also been whooped by guys half the size of me. Its extremely humbling and a lesson I find to be invaluable. Madamas Jui-Jitsu and kickboxing academy is not only the best in the area but rates in the top of its class among ALL martial arts schools. Beginning with its lineage of Gracie and Serra Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu down to the battle tested professional fighting/ instructors, this academy does not fall short of knowledge and experience. There is something for everyone and with classes throughout the day scheduling couldnt be easier. As soon as my kid is old enough he will be going as well. I plan on remaining part of the Madama team/family for a long time.

I am happy to report that after 2 months of training at Madama Jiu Jitsu I couldnt be happier. I have challenged my body by taking both Jiu Jitsu and Muay Thai Kickboxing classes at Madama Jiu Jitsu. Not only is the workout incredible but the skills you take away are invaluable. My support team of Instructors and Teammates keep me motivated to come back. I havent felt this great in years and look forward to continuing my training. I can say without an hesitation that I personally would not have seen these types of results so quickly had I gone back to my gym routine, Madama Jiu Jitsu has redefined a workout for me. Do yourself a favor, join Madama Jiu-Jitsu.

Best decision ever joining Madama!! I recommend to anyone either you have a child or just for yourself come on in. Everyone welcomed me with open arms not just our instructors but also our teammates who are now friends to me. Everyone encourages you to go 100% even if youre having an off day just coming to class does a 360 to your mood and that off day turns into a good day. From my experience Im learning so much about myself and I have to thank each and every person at Madama. Dont miss out come on in you wont regret it.
