Collingswood, New Jersey
Collingswood is our neighborhood academy, a welcoming room coached largely by people who live in town, including parents who train here alongside their own kids. The schedule is built around a real weekday: adult classes before work, at lunch, and in the evening, Sharks programs after school, and Saturday mornings for the whole family.

After watching how powerful and transformative the Little and Tiny Sharks classes were for our daughters, my husband and I started training BJJ too. Absolutely life changing. Warm & welcoming culture, truly a family, and a phenomenal way to challenge yourself and keep your mind and body sharp. Can't recommend McHugh BJJ enough.
