Enhance Your Life.
WELCOME
We are the premiere Brazilian Jiu Jitsu academy in the Hampstead area.
We believe jiu jitsu is more than just a sport, self-defense system, or fitness program; it’s a lifestyle that improves the whole person. The physical, mental, and transcendent benefits of jiu jitsu should be accessible to everyone, from beginner to world-class competitor and any age, sex, or ethnicity.
We will help you achieve your goals and believe Crest Brazilian Jiu Jitsu will enhance your life by improving your overall fitness, confidence, ability to defend yourself (and your family), and connecting you to a community of other positive, motivated people for support.
**We are proud to be an official affiliate of world renowned BJJ black belt, Tom DeBlass and Adopt A Cop BJJ.
FITNESS
Get in great shape while having a blast. Brazilian jiu jitsu torches fat and calories because it includes aerobic and anaerobic conditioning. But your workout is never a chore because you’re focused on your next move rather than the work you’re doing.
Confidence
You’ll know your skills are effective because you’ll actually spar with training partners at near 100% effort which allows you to see the effectiveness of your actions.
Self Defense
See why the winners of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) – a contest that allows any martial art – rely on Brazilian jiu jitsu. It’s the most practical self-defense skillset you can find.
Community
Because you learn alongside training partners, you’re never alone. Doing jiu jitsu at Crest means that you have a positive community that helps support all of your athletic goals.
Getting Started is as Easy as 1-2-3
Something for Everyone.
PROGRAMS
Adult Jiu Jitsu
More than just a sport, self-defense system, or fitness program, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu will help you in all aspects of life. You’ll gain confidence, reduce stress, become more positive, and improve overall happiness. It will enhance your life by improving fitness, confidence, the ability to defend yourself while connecting you to a community of other positive, motivated people.
Kids Martial Arts
The foundation of our kids program is Brazilian Jiu Jitsu which is considered the most practical and effective martial art in the world. It’s one of the best gifts you can provide a child because it provides character development and personal growth that will impact every area of their life. It is a fun way for kids to get into shape, gain confidence, learn respect, improve discipline, and prevent bullying.
Private Lessons
While group classes are a great way to learn Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, some people prefer to start or complement their training with private lessons. Private classes enable the instructor to teach in a way that will optimize learning and adapt techniques to suite an individual’s strengths and weaknesses.

TESTIMONIALS
Very family friendly atmosphere! All of the instructors are great, they have classes for all age groups and everyone is made to feel welcomed and comfortable no matter the skill level. My four kids and I have been training there since June and we all feel like the staff and members at Crest have become like family. My kids are ages 8,10,15,17 and they all Love it! Not only are they having fun and getting physical exercise, but at the same time they are learning self defense. I am 42 and for myself training at Crest motivated me to push beyond anything I would do on my own. Since June I have lost 40lbs, from 275 to 235! Whether you are a beginner, experienced, wanting to compete, or just looking to get in shape and learn some self defense all of the staff @ Crest have the knowledge and know how to help anyone improve and build up from any level.
Crest BJJ is exactly what my family needed. We love the staff, location,and art. Thank you for the opportunity.
We needed this in Hampstead. Thank you Crest!
The gym is great, instructors are awesome, and the location is perfect. They offer classes at a huge variety of times which is great because it accommodates a lot of people’s schedules. Additionally, this school is a Lucas Lepri affiliate and that reverberates in the instruction. It’s great for the novice just starting out and it’s perfect for the seasoned Juijitero. If you’re on the fence which gym you want to join just give it a try…give them all try and you can make the best choice for you. For me Crest was the best choice.
Crest BJJ is the perfect place for the entire family. They have a program for everyone! There is no reason to go anywhere else!
Crest Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is awesome!!! All the coaches are great with kids. Very excited to be apart of this local gym.
