I started BJJ with Jason in October 2005. I was uncomfortable going to a BJJ school and being "the new guy" so i decided to give a Jason a call. He came to my house for a private lesson and i have been hooked ever since. It was Jason's laid back personality and his love for BJJ that made me want to start training. Definitely train with Jason if you want to get in shape, learn BJJ,and have a great time. I am happy to be able to call Jason a great teacher and friend.

Working with Jason was a vital part in the development of my jiu jitsu. He taught me it wasn't enough to just know the moves but to have concrete set ups. Jason opens your eyes to the different aspects of the game and will try his best to bring progress to his students. He's a dedicated instructor and a good friend. Training with him will elevate any ones game.

 Jason has an extremely great knack for teaching and it shows with the students. You can see that he really enjoys what he does. When looking for a Jiu-Jitsu school, please give the Grapplers Guide Academy a visit you will not regret it! Kris Hopwood Belford, NJ BJJ White Belt |

When I began training with Jason, I had no prior grappling experience. I had never wrestled, never done Judo, and certainly never had prior experience in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Jason is able to break techniques down into their natural parts, explaining how everything works in a manner that made it easy to learn. He teaches the principles behind the movements, so that they become a part of you, making it that much easier to learn the next move. Jason is very knowledgeable about the art of Grappling, and constantly looking for ways to improve both himself and his students.

Jason Scully is a very motivated individual with a high sense of respect for everyone he is around. His grappling classes are based on effective techniques and strategies needed to excel in the sport. The classes are very organized and well run, not to mention his attention to detail, which makes him a perfect instructor for beginners as well as advanced students.

Where do I begin? I have known Jason for about 7 years now. We met doing bjj at the rec center in Howell. Since then, we have become training partners, business partners and I am happy to say, very close friends. As a person, Jason is a stand up guy, who sticks to his beliefs and will not back down to anyone. As a teacher, Jason has taught me more then anyone(black belts included) about the sport of jiu jitsu. He has a passion for learning and teaching bjj that is unparalleled. He is very patient when it comes to teaching and is very knowledgeable on the subject. I am sad to see him move to a different school but am also looking forward to training with him in the future.

I trained under Jason Scully for about five months. When I started with Jason I had already had a few years of BJJ training under my belt but wanted to further my knowledge of the martial art. Jason provided me and my fellow training partners with a comfortable training environment which allowed everyone to learn effectively and efficiently regardless of previous experience. He was friendly and humble from the first day I met him and had a wealth of knowledge of BJJ both in the gi and without the gi, along with competition experience. Scully was active in competitions and believed in the value received from the competition experience. He is a calm individual who never seemed to get frustrated, and a teacher who you could tell took pride in seeing his students conquer their own personal goals. I had a pleasant and beneficial experience training under Jason Scully.

Where do I begin, I have often said Jason Scully is a true student of BJJ. I've always been very impressed with Jason's knowledge of the sport, I refer to him as a walking BJJ encyclopedia. Jason is able to fully explain techniques and break down BJJ to it's simplest form. He makes training intense and fun at the same time. His teaching ability and character is something you will have a difficult time finding at another school. I've been a student of Jason's for over 3 years and I'm proud to call him my friend. I would recommend Jason's academy to anyone looking to train, from the BJJ competitor to the beginner. His message is simple, "No politics, just hard training".

Jason is one of the best instructors i've had the pleasure to train with in my 3 years of BJJ. He is extremely good at breaking down techniques so that even a beginner is able to pick things up very quickly. I always thought his class format was very well put together, in a way that made it easier to remember techniques previously shown.
Jason always takes extra time, even after class is over to answer everyone's questions and give his students individual advice on how they can improve their game. This definitely shows he is there because he wants to see all his students improve as much as possible and not just for the paycheck. I definitely believe a student at any level would benefit a lot from Jason's instruction. Alex G. BJJ Blue Belt |

Jason is an excellent instructor. His methods, techniques, and curriculum are of great value to the student. After taking a class taught by Jason, I always feel that I have learned valuable skills and look forward to the next class. His teaching style benefits students of all levels. Everyone in Jason’s classes work together as a team to help each other progress in their BJJ skills. The classes are fantastic workouts as well.

I've been fortunate enough to train under Jason Scully for the past 4 years. His BJJ instruction is easy to comprehend for any experience level. More importantly, he focuses on solid positions and high percentage techniques. His dedication and knowledge of BJJ is phenomenal. I also use his grapplers guide website which can easily be viewed where he has broken down positions in great detail, even adding pictures and video. I would best describe it as the windows of BJJ positions.

 Jason is a very personable and understanding individual who believes there is no such thing as a bad question. He does everything he can to make his students feel comfortable and is constantly seeking input for ways to make his school better. His passion for the sport is evident in his teaching and in the way he runs his classes. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced Jiu Jitsu practitioner, The Grapplers Guide Academy will be for you! Dave O'Brien Howell, NJ BJJ Blue Belt |

I have known and been a student of Jason's for 4 years. There is no mistaking his genuine love for jiu jitsu, and it reflects in his teaching. Classes are well organized and the techniques are easily comprehendible for students of all skill levels. Jason's broad knowledge of the sport and great attitude make improving your game both easy and fun. He makes everyone feel welcome and is always willing to help students with their specific questions. I have always felt that Jason truly wanted his students to succeed, which in my opinion, is the sign of a great teacher. In short, regardless of whether you are a beginner, intermediate or advanced, I would definitely recommend taking jiu jitsu classes with Jason.

Jason Scully is a great teacher. I trained with him for over a year in which time he definitely improved my game. His teaching style really helps you improve your technique, showing particular attention to the small details that tighten up your game. He takes a lot of time explaining each move and doesn't rush you through it. He makes sure you understand the technique and if you don't he will personally help you until you do. He has a great work ethic and will push you when you need to be pushed. But he also has a great sense of humor and provides a relaxed atmosphere to train in. He does this all without ego. He provides a great environment for beginners and for advanced level guys to flourish.

Great Job Wilson!!
Here is a great quote that one of the members at The Grapplers Guide posted in response to a post about taking risks. I think it’s a great quote so I figured I’d share it here:
“It is not the critic who counts, nor the man who points how the strong man stumbled or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly…who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at best, knows the triumph of high achievement; and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.”
~Theodore Roosevelt
