BJJ in Long Island City

Long Island City occupies the western tip of Queens, directly across the East River from Midtown Manhattan — accessible via the 7, E, M, G, and N/W trains, making it one of the most transit-convenient non-Manhattan training options in the city. Five academies cluster in this rapidly developed neighborhood, reflecting the residential growth that followed the commercial build-out along the Queens waterfront. **City Jiu Jitsu Academy** carries Renzo Gracie affiliation, aligning LIC with the dominant lineage network of the broader NYC market. Team Jucao Long Island City brings competition-oriented BJJ with Brazilian roots. Marlon Colorado Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Hinds Combat Sports, and LIMMA Team Savage round out the local roster with a mix of gi, no-gi, and MMA programming. For residents of Astoria (adjacent to the north) or hunters point and Sunnyside (to the east), LIC serves as the default training neighborhood before commuting into Manhattan. Price band is consistent with Western Queens: $180–$250/mo for adult unlimited.
