I came to Jason with Judo experience and he was able to knock the rough edges off of my ground game. I didn't intend, at first, to switch fully to BJJ but I was hooked. Jason's endless pool of technical knowledge in this sport and his teaching style make learning very easy. The way Jason teaches and his equal attention to all his students create an atmosphere for success in Jiu-Jitsu and a happy club environment. Jason's dedication and love for the sport challenges and motivates me to achieve a higher level.

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.

I started with Jason in August of 2008. I was not too excited about going there and not knowing anybody. I was also concerned about my weight. I weighed around 225 pounds. I wasn’t sure if I was fit to do such a task, but Jason puts together a very friendly and fun environment to be in. His laid back personality and great knowledge is just what I was looking for to start jiu jitsu. He teaches the techniques step by step so that you can perfect them, and he even stays after class to help you even more. He pays special attention to everyone to make sure they perfect the technique in which their learning. Jason is a great teacher and I would recommend him to anybody. Thanks to the great and easy going way that he runs his class I walk around at a more faster 190 pounds. I am glad to call him my teacher and a 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 actually cares about the students and wants to see them succeed! I was hooked after my first day and haven’t stopped since. Everyone in the class made me feel comfortable and totally welcome. It might sound hokie but it is like a family.

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!

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.

Since I began taking jiu-jitsu classes about a year ago, I've had the privilege of training with Jason many times. I always feel inspired and enlightened afterward. His love for jiu-jitsu and teaching is evident; he is always willing to share his extraordinary wealth of knowledge about the sport - breaking down moves and explaining them in a way that is simple and easy to understand. His technique is clean and efficient - beautiful to look at. He's also a lot of fun to train with, because he's so easy-going and patient, and he clearly enjoys his time spent on the mats.

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 was a student of Jason's for over 3 years and I'm proud to call him my friend. I would recommend Jason to anyone looking to train, from the BJJ competitor to the beginner. His message is simple, "No politics, just hard training".

Rob Philhower

Jason is friendly and has an easy going personality that makes you feel comfortable during training sessions. He emphasizes on learning and using techniques correctly, for it is the best weapon. He provides rigorous training, but somehow he makes it fun that you forget about the hard work he’s putting your body through.

I am more than thankful that I am given the opportunity to be Jason Scully’s student. Not only does he practice genuine respect for all of his students, he is also honest, and more than enthusiastic to share his knowledge of the sport. He takes his time to explain the importance of each technique and of course he doesn’t hesitate to help correct your mistakes (in an easy going and respectful way). He cares about your progress so he pushes you closer to your goals (whatever it may be).

Testimonials

There are countless people skilled in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, but few who truly understand how to teach it. Jason is one of these few. The organized fashion in which his classes are taught resembles the curriculum of an Ivy League graduate program (not that I have ever been remotely close to one). When you train under Jason Scully you truly are “studying” bjj. His knowledge of all aspects of grappling is astonishing, but it is his systematic approach to teaching that sets him aside from other instructors.

No matter what type of student you are Jason will find a way to improve your grappling. He provides you with a number of learning resources you are unlikely to find anywhere else including one on one attention, video analysis, personal emails, and access to his grapplersguide website, which has a multitude of technique and workout videos, written articles and strategies, as well as a forum giving you access to a knowledgeable community of grapplers all over the world. Jason does all of this while offering you a fun ego free environment to train in. Jason Scully is one of the most positive people I have ever met and his love for the sport and for life is seen in every one of his classes.

Jason Scully is a great technical and enthusiastic instructor. He breaks down each technique so it is easy to pick up, learn and apply to your style of rolling. I have been training for 6 years and felt that my skills as a purple belt have hit the wall. After training with Jason for a couple weeks I found myself breaking through the wall we all have hit time to time. If you want to be a part of a bjj school that is high energy, great technique, and awesome rolling sessions Jason Scully is the instructor you want work with.

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 Gruevich

Jason Scully has given me my most complete Brazilian Jiu Jitsu experience since I began. He teaches with a deep understanding of teaching, techniques, motivating students and handling classes with different level students. Most BJJ instructors focus solely on one or two aspects of the art, but Jason incorporates all of his knowledge and experience from other disciplines. This gives all his students a distinct learning advantage and why I refer him to everyone I can. Expect that your skills will grow exponentially under Jason’s instruction.

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 at www.grapplersguide.com 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.

Kevin Carter

I began training Brazilian Jiu Jitsu with Jason about 3 years ago. I can honestly say he is the reason I am still in the game. Having no previous martial arts experience, I was pretty hesitant to sign up for BJJ. Luckily Jason offered a free week of training that I was able to take advantage of. It was during this week that I realized just how much pride Jason took in his school, his teaching, but most importantly his students.

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!

Jason is a great combination of instructor, student, and friend. His patience, devotion, creative classes and detail-oriented instruction will train you to be the best you can be. His focus on improving his own game and learning other aspects of the art translate into developing modern instruction that captures the techniques and philosophy the best practitioners today are using to bring them to the top of the their game. Best of all, he genuinely cares about all his students equally, and wants nothing more than to have them all excel, perform well, and generate a comfortable yet exciting atmosphere in which to train. No matter where he teaches, you can count on great instruction and environment.

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.

Adam Grodzki

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.

Jason Scully is obviously a great teacher. His extensive knowledge of jujitsu is complimented by his attention to detail and genuine interest in helping students learn. From the basic submissions up to the most advanced counters and transitions, he has something to teach you. Great athletes and competitors don’t always make the best teachers but Jason knows how to convey the ideas necessary to advance your game.

What makes the Grapplers Guide Academy such a great place to train is that Scully’s positive attitude radiates out to create the perfect environment for learning and training. Everyone works together to better each other week after week. This kind of trust and mutual respect is of the utmost importance in combat sports and is what sets Jason’s school apart.
