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.
Carmen Spezzi Sayreville, NJ BJJ Purple Belt
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!
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.
Tinh Tupy Belmar, NJ (Former Student at Jason's Old Academy)
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.
Greg K. Brick, NJ
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.
Rob Woods Long Branch, NJ BJJ White Belt
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.
Stefanie Gotta Sayreville, NJ BJJ Blue Belt
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 P. Police Officer
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).
