Who We Are

A small studio built around steady progress.

Sensei Sandy BJJ is a small, coach-led Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu studio in Tannersville, New York. Sandy is a BJJ Black Belt with deep expertise in both Jiu-Jitsu and Judo, backed by a strong competitive track record. He teaches with clear language, patient pacing, and a steady structure so kids, teens, adults, and returning students know where to begin.

With a lineage rooted in foundational grappling principles, the goal is bigger than learning jiu-jitsu techniques. It is to create a room where people feel seen, supported, and capable of making steady progress together.

Our Standard of Care

  • We keep class sizes capped so every student receives direct coaching.
  • We remember our seasonal students; you return to a room that knows you.
  • We notice extended absences and reach out, not to pressure, but to check in.
  • We make scheduling frictionless. Students reschedule by texting the coach.
