I have a very high stress job as a corrections officer. The academy has become a place I can go to stay in top physical shape and destress from my day. This place is my therapy. ~Isac Chaves

Training at Cutting Edge Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu has been nothing short of a life changing experience. Since day one the academy has played a major & positive role in my life, helping me get into shape, learning how to defend myself, and building confidence. It has helped me prove that anything I set my mind to I can achieve.

If you've ever felt hesitant to try a martial arts academy stop right there because it's one big family, and we will welcome you with open arms or a friendly stranglehold. ~Eric Llerena

I came to CEBJJ in February 2010 overweight, out of shape and pre diabetic from years of poor eating habits. Professor Manuel and CEBJJ were able to set and motivate me to achieve goals which is a staple of the academy. Everyone at CEBJJ is humble and welcoming, a family in every sense of the word, I hope to continue that example for any new students who may pick our academy to change their lives. ~Marcelo Aguilar

Cutting Edge is the best kept secret in North Jersey! Professor Josef offers traditional values combined with competition-level training to achieve balanced students. I've been going for about four months and have healed a back injury with the help of training and stretches. The conditioning program is proven and effective as shown by the instructors in their many tournament victories. I am definitely proud to be part of this dojo. ~Marcus Nieves

I met professor Josef Manuel when he visited our school in Dover, NJ. I was amazed with his vast knowledge and wisdom in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and his flawless techniques, you can clearly see his teacher (the legendary Robson Moura) in him. He made the lessons so simple that even my two daughters, who joined us for class, could execute the move. One thing that Impressed me the most is his personality. He is very humble and approachable, he made us feel like we've been his students for a long time. I will always be grateful to him that he took some of his time to visit, teach and train us. His students are very lucky to have him as a teacher and all of us are lucky to have him as a friend. I finally joined Cutting Edge Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Academy in October of 2017. They welcomed me with open arms. I am amazed on how dedicated the students are to the art and it shows by how technical they are. I attribute this to our Sensei because he shows us his love for the art, his passion in teaching and his dedication to his students. I travel at least 20 miles one way which is between 20 to 30 mins just to attend class. I do this because I want to repay my Sensei with the same dedication he shows us. I also feel like a kid with a new toy every time I train. Every time Professor teaches, the technique lingers in my brain for hours and hours. This place is definitely a place I call home. It's an amazing place. ~Don De La Pena

Cutting Edge Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is the perfect blend of incredibly intricate BJJ and warming familial bonds. Josef Manuel’s love for the sport infuses every class with vigor, determination, and awe. The array of techniques unmasked ensures he or she will establish a great bjj game while engaging in an intense workout. The outpouring support interwoven within each participant makes one feel apart of something bigger...because he or she is. The environment at CEBJJ is not just a school or gym...it is a family striving for greatness. ~Chelsea Cullen
