otherworld Jiu Jitsu — Local services in Lawrence Township

I have always been a pilates/barre type of person and would never have done Jiu Jitsu in a million years. But there's this new gym called Otherworld opening up and my friend convinced me to try it together.

Parking is super easy. The gym is in a nice area and the place is very bright and clean, simple yet well-designed.

At first I felt a little intimidated because Jiu Jitsu just "looks that way", and I had no idea what to expect. But the owners/instructors Shane and Collin are super welcoming and patient. They explained and demonstrated everything so well. And I can tell they're very passionate and knowledgeable with their craft.

My takeaway from my first class is Jiu Jitsu is such a mental game as much as a physical one, and I love it! I am so happy to have discovered Otherworld. I'm going to take advantage of their opening promo and add this to my regular workout...

When I was a white belt, I got to experience Collin Rudolph as a private lesson instructor and Shane McCarthy as both an instructor and as a competition coach when he was teaching at Princeton BJJ

Their instruction is clear and their passion for BJJ is contagious.

Shane’s classes are filled with hard work, focus, laughter, and fun.

I always left any private session with Collin feeling like good work had been done and an excitement to bring what I learned from him to my next training session.

When competing, Shane gave me room to be creative and instruction on how to get me over the finish line.

Both Shane and Collin would meet me where I was at as a student and that quality in an instructor makes an incredible difference.

I’m so excited for these two to open up OtherWorld and can’t wait to see...

Great new jiu jitsu gym in the Lawrenceville area! I have been training as a white belt for a little over a month now and I have nothing but good things to say. I like that the gym has a good blend of all belt levels which always keeps things interesting. I also really like the state based drilling along with live drills/games and rolling afterwards to apply what you have learned. Shane and Collin are top notch instructors and always take the time give specific advice on how to level up your jiu jitsu game to people of all levels. If you are even a tiny bit interested in learning or leveling up your grappling, I would recommend anyone in the area come check out otherworld...
