Ithaca Brazilian Jiu Jitsu — Local services in Town of Lansing

Professor Matt is a master teacher. He leads his classes with care and confidence and takes pride in his students' learning experience. It's a place of learning and growth for all ages.

The classes are well-structured and personable. He never hesitates to give individualized attention to his students. He is a teacher who cares and pays attention. The community members are awesome too. It's such a family-friendly atmosphere. I love watching the children's classes. They really blossom there.

Even though Jiu jitsu can be challenging, he encourages his students to always stay calm and think it through. It will come. He also teaches when to move quickly! He does it all.

He is able to get on the level of his student's and identify their strengths and weaknesses, and as a result can easily help adjust technique and give correction.

He regularly encourages overcoming struggle and developing self-mastery. He is an exemplary role model.

As an adult who recently came to jiu jitsu with very little prior experience, I find myself moving with agility and improving all the time. And I'm excited for what's to come!

Professor Matt is a true teacher. I am truly grateful to have the opportunity to learn from him.

Thank you...

I love taking classes at Ithaca BJJ. I've really wanted to train in mixed martial arts but Ive had a lot of trouble finding a place to do it. I heard great things about coach and owner Matt Lee through word of mouth and it all rings true. He's a former professional fighter whose super friendly, inviting, patient, and passionate about martial arts. I've found Brazilian Jiu Jitsu to be the perfect martial art and foundation for learning how to fight but its also great for general fitness and relieving stress, as well as building confidence and discipline. It's also a nice way to meet great people. The family friendly atmosphere at this school makes it so that ANYONE can practice there and feel comfortable. It's just as good for experienced fighters and enthusiasts. I love that in a small town like Ithaca, I can get lessons from a former pro fighter. He has years of experience training other professional fighters as well as adults and kids in different countries across the world. I highly recommend this school to anyone...

Ithaca BJJ is fantastic! It is really rare to find martial arts instruction where you get highest quality teaching, authentic martial arts, and a family friendly environment all in the same school. Coach Matt Lee is providing exactly that: high quality, authentic, high level Jiu Jitsu, excellent instruction, all in a clean, friendly environment. I couldn’t be happier, and look forward to every class. Awesome school, awesome teacher, couldn’t ask for...
