ABOUT CLOCKWORK
OUR STORY
Founded in 2009, Clockwork BJJ has been a cornerstone of the New York City jiu-jitsu community for over 16 years. What started as a small group of dedicated practitioners has grown into one of the most respected academies in downtown Manhattan.
Our name "Clockwork" represents the precision and consistency we bring to the art of jiu-jitsu.
We believe in creating an environment where technical excellence meets practical application, all within a supportive community that celebrates growth and perseverance.
OUR PHILOSOPHY
At Clockwork, we believe you deserve to be treated with respect.
We understand the classroom dynamics of martial arts. We use body mechanics and leverage instead of brute force. You won't get yelled at for being slow or making errors. Our instructors are patient and provide detailed and precise methods for most effective learning.
We emphasize technical precision, intelligent application of techniques and hard work over ego. The focus is always on pairing efficiency and aggression where beneficial, all within an inclusive environment where BJJ is accessible to everyone.

COMMUNITY FOCUSED
