Friendly and underrated jiujitsu gym.
I dropped in for a morning class and found the environment, curriculum, and team to be really solid even though I came in with no intentions of socializing. This is the epitome of sustainable training.
However, I was pretty disappointed to find that I was the only woman at the time of drop in, and that the lightest other person still had 40+ pounds on me. That can't really be helped for the vast majority of jiujitsu places, though.
Had a chance to drop-in with the Clockwork crew (7a) during a short trip to NY. GREAT atmosphere, excellent instruction, super clean, down to earth vibe. Kyle was very welcoming and engaging. Looking forward to visiting again in the future!
I've been training at Clockwork for about 6 months. I did trial classes at about three other schools before choosing to train here. It was one of the best decisions I've ever made. It's such an easy environment to learn and grow. It's the type of gym I can see myself still training at a decade from now. The instructors are meticulous about their craft, very approachable, and inspire a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The white belt classes are perfectly suited for complete beginners. Jiu-jitsu can be a lot to take in at first, and I think many people quit early simply because they get overwhelmed and have no idea how to digest it all. The white belt classes do a great job of introducing you to the sport by only focusing on two techniques each week. That way you can really take your time to explore the techniques and concepts before moving on to the advanced classes. I highly recommend this place to practitioners of all levels.
My kid started last December due to bullying at school and overall not being a physical child. Well, his confidence in the physical department skyrocketed and now he's considered an assertive kid. Clockwork is an awesome safe space to say the least. Staff is great and it's a very clean place too. I highly recommend.
Great group of people ! Kyle and Sebastian are excellent instructors. The curriculum is super organized and easy to follow .. I especially their focus on drilling as opposed to fitness. I highly recommend
I tried a BJJ class several months back and I really enjoyed it. Kyle Jackson was instructing the class and he made it very clear that we were there to have fun and not to worry about getting everything right on the first try. The welcoming atmosphere is fantastic for people who are new to BJJ and are nervous about attending their first class.
Everyone was super nice and it was a fantastic class. My pet got sick so I wasn't able to sign up and actually ended up finding a school that suited me better as they offer Muay Thai and BJJ, but I highly recommend checking out this school if you are looking for an awesome place to train BJJ!
What a fantastic school. As a visitor, I was struck by the amount of individual attention afforded not only by Josh but by other higher-level belts in attendance. This pays off enormously not just in tracking student progress, but in how each technique is drilled - if you're doing it wrong, the head instructor will catch it and help you. At other places, there is just too much going on for that to happen because the teacher to student ratio is too high. And like their website says, this is an ego-free community, which makes it all about learning. If you have the chance to train here, congratulations!
I just started training here. The facility is clean, the staff is friendly, and the instructors are excellent. Classes always start on time. On my first day, I could easily tell that Clockwork works hard to cultivate a friendly environment where you can challenge yourself (and each other) and still have a good time.
Laid back and a very open community. Perfect for the hobbyist or the competitor.
Josh has created a special ego-free environment that accommodates all levels of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. I love training at Clockwork and learning the curriculum from such a great Sensei.

Josh and the folks at Clockwork are refreshingly warm people who know their bjj absurdly well. They are amazing teachers of technique, super talented practitioners, AND humble, encouraging, and kind to their students.
I am a fourth degree adult female brown belt from LA so was a visitor to Clockwork for six weeks while in NY for work. I came to Clockwork via a friend's glowing recommendation. I'm hopeful for an excuse to go back to NY just so I can train with them again! I was challenged and well taken care of at the same time. I had a blast every time I trained with them.
At Clockwork, the instruction was thorough and questions were answered patiently and with great detail. The facility was clean and safe, well lit, spacious, and equipped with showers, lockers, and restrooms for men and women. This is especially important when doing contact training like bjj. The response time for inquiries about classes was same day. Anytime I attended class, the students seemed very happy to be there. It was a generous and welcoming community. I am very grateful to Josh and everyone at Clockwork. Go check them out!

1. Caring instructors
2. Friendly and supportive culture
(especially for beginners)
3. Focus on long term learning and technique
Signing up was a no brainer for me.

I was on a holiday trip to NYC, came across clockwork academy looking for a place to roll during my stay and they immediately welcomed me to their class and gave me a gi. Both Kyle and Josh were very welcoming and treated me as If I was one of their students. Amazing experience that I recommend to anyone looking for a roll in NY. Oss

Five stars. Excellent instruction, friendly atmosphere and very high level rolling.
This is a statement that is on their website: "Our instructors genuinely care about their students and are dedicated to your progress", well if I could, I'd add that they genuinely care about their guest as well. I have a good friend who used to train in Los Angeles where I train (and live) and he invited me to train at Clockwork Jiu Jitsu while visiting NYC (my hometown). I expected the training to be top notch and it was (I learned so much while there), but what caught me off guard was how much of warm and friendly culture I experienced. I couldn't imagine a more convenient location, they are near pretty much every train and bus. It's also a clean and comfortable facility. I would like to specifically thank Josh Griffiths and Russ Kerr for being so welcoming and treating me with the seriousness that they treat their regular students, while I was there.
I'm a 40-year old guy, mildly athletic. I've been training at Clockwork for 9 months now. I love the positive atmosphere, wholistic instruction, and comraderie among students of all ranks. I wish I'd found Clockwork years ago!
This place is great. It's cleaner than any BJJ place I've ever been to. The instruction is great. Everyone is either nice or at worst neutral, no problems with anyone so far. The other students who had been there longer were also super helpful as well as the head instructor. The workout is intense as hell, but that's jujitsu...it's hardcore. I also should mention that I bought a gi months before coming here in preparation but I don't think it's even necessary, I'm pretty sure they give out gi's for the class if you don't have one which is great.
Rolled here on Friday... really great group of people from top to bottom. Everyone I worked with had very kind words and solid advice for me (I'm a white belt). Also, the gym was very clean. If you're looking for a place to train in the city, look no further. This is your spot.
If you are in NYC and you already train or have never trained before, YOU MUST check out this academy. Its what Jiu Jitsu is all about: incredible technique, thorough patient instruction, personal attention, a close family of students, a welcoming attitude, and no B.S. whatsoever. You will leave feeling better than you did when you walked in guaranteed.
