“As good as it gets! My son has had the privilege of training with JT Torres, the owner/professor of Essential Jiu Jitsu.You literally cannot ask for a better more experienced instructor for adults or children. Hartsdale is so fortunate to have a true Brazilian jiu jitsu world champion in their midst, so please take advantage of it. There are few people in the world that match JT’s ability to compete, train, and effectively communicate with students. If you want to learn BJJ, this is the place.”
