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. Tim Fullerton Red Bank, NJ BJJ Blue Belt




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 4 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. James Sweeney Middletown, NJ BJJ Purple Belt




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 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. Dave Merces Shrewsbury, NJ BJJ White 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. Tom Stuhrmann Brielle, NJ BJJ White Belt




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 C. Police Officer




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! Dave O'Brien Howell, NJ BJJ Blue Belt




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. Eddie Chou Jersey City, NJ BJJ Purple 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. Adam G.




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. Mike Meistrich Keansburg, NJ BJJ Blue Belt




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.
