Located in the heart of New Jersey, Bodega Jiu-Jitsu is more than just a martial arts academy—it's a community dedicated to personal growth and excellence. Founded in late 2022 by lifelong martial artists Kyvann Gonzalez and Chas Makk, Bodega Jiu-Jitsu was created from their shared dream of bringing world-class nogi-only Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu training to the Garden State.

As close friends and training partners, Kyvann and Chas envisioned a space where everyone—whether a competitive athlete or a complete beginner—could thrive. Their mission was to build a school that offered cutting-edge instruction while catering to New Jersey’s diverse martial arts community. With a deep belief that martial arts serve as a “vehicle for developing human potential,” they’ve created an environment where students of all backgrounds can push their limits and discover their capabilities.

Whether you're in North, Central, or South Jersey, Bodega Jiu-Jitsu offers the perfect blend of technical training and a supportive atmosphere. Join us and become part of a community that’s redefining martial arts in New Jersey. Discover how Bodega Jiu-Jitsu can help you achieve your goals and unlock your full potential!
