We started our son’s training with Professor Chad at Team Jucao Long Island City Brazilian Jiu Jitsu when he was six. He has an ADHD diagnosis, and our goal with BJJ was two-fold: to give him a physical outlet for all his energy and to provide him with a structured space that could help him learn how to control his body and his emotions. We definitely found that with Prof. Chad and Team Jucao. Just by itself, BJJ is a worthwhile, lifelong pursuit—it’s great exercise; you learn the techniques by being in constant physical contact with the other students (compared to form-based, striking arts like Tae Kwon Do); it’s actually practical (i.e., you’re learning something you could use if you ever needed to, god forbid), etc. However, the environment Prof. Chad creates around the discipline itself is just as valuable. He’s great with kids—serious when it’s called for but unfailingly kind and caring. He is very skilled at recognizing where each
My kids have been training Brazilian Jiu Jitsu at Team Jucao LIC for 5 years. My daughter and son have learned about discipline and respect while getting great exercise. Not only is Professor Chad experienced at teaching the basics of BJJ techniques to kids of all ages, he makes it a lot of fun. One thing I find refreshing at Team Jucao LIC is the lack of the hidden costs/ fees associated with martial arts - in fact, a GI is provided once you sign up and there are no additional fees for promotion (stripes and belts). Professor Chad has also helped us with private lessons and small group semi-private lessons when our schedule did not allow us to attend class.
Excellent BJJ school for both adults and kids. Both of our kids (ages 7 and 9) train here. Chad is a top notch instructor who clearly has lots of experience working with kids. Facilities are clean, safe, and very conveniently located for LIC residents. For those seeking a more dense BJJ learning experience, Chad also provides private and semi-private lessons, which are very well-structured, effective and fun. Highly recommended without reservation.
My 11-year-old son has been attending classes here for the last two years, and the experience has been nothing short of transformative for him. The classes are fun, well-structured, and engaging and cater to all skill levels. All instructors are skilled, and patient. Professor Chad makes sure that it is a safe and encouraging environment for all the kids to learn and grow. Not only has my son developed impressive jujitsu techniques, but he's also gained confidence, discipline, and patience. I highly recommend Team Jucao LIC to any parent considering martial arts for their child.
My daughter has been attending Jiu Jitsu classes at Jucao LIC academy for the past two years, and the experience has been nothing short of exceptional. From day one, she fell in love with the art and has since made remarkable progress, both physically and socially. Professor Chad's professionalism and pedagogical approach are commendable, contributing significantly to her growth and development in the discipline. My wife and I couldn't be more satisfied with the quality of instruction and the positive impact it has had on our daughter. We wholeheartedly recommend Jucao LIC academy to anyone seeking a top-notch Jiu Jitsu experience for their child.
Incredible community. This team welcomes everyone at any level and learning jiu jitsu here is immensely fulfilling. I leave every session with a deeper understanding of jiu jitsu, myself, and life. Also huge shout out to professor Chad! I've been to different jiu jitsu gyms and Chad is a world class teacher especially for beginners.
