A BJJ private lesson in Brighton Beach with Josh Supitskiy costs $100 for a solo hour, or $50 per person if you split the session with a partner. There are no packages or memberships — just a flat per-session rate for gi or no-gi one-on-one instruction.
How Much Do BJJ Private Lessons Cost in Brooklyn?
A one-on-one BJJ private lesson with me runs $100 for a solo hour, or $50 per person if you bring a training partner and split the session. That's it — one flat rate, no packages, no membership to sign up for. This is the private jiu jitsu lesson cost NYC readers usually ask about when they search around Brighton Beach.
I teach out of Darfight Martial Arts at 130 Brighton Beach Ave, 2nd Floor, a few minutes from the B and Q trains at Brighton Beach station. I rent mat time there — it's not my gym, and I'm not affiliated with the school as a business, just a guy who books the room and teaches privates.
What Does a $100 Private Actually Include?
You get a full hour of one-on-one instruction, gi or no-gi, built around whatever you actually need that day — not a fixed curriculum you have to follow. That might mean cleaning up your closed guard posture, drilling a specific escape, or getting wrestling-for-BJJ fundamentals like a double leg or sprawl worked into your submission grappling game.
Beginners get the room to ask the dumb questions they'd never ask in a packed group class. Competitors get someone watching only them, correcting grip fighting or guard retention details a coach can't catch when they're running six pairs at once. Same price either way — the hour is yours.
Why Flat Pricing, No Packages?
I don't sell bundles, punch cards, or first-lesson discounts because I don't want anyone locked into paying for sessions before they know if this works for them. You book a slot, you pay for that slot, you decide separately if you want another one.
It also keeps the math simple. $100 solo or $50 each with a partner — no tiers, no upsell, no fine print about what's included. If you've read why private lessons accelerate your progress you already know the appeal of a private is the attention, not a subscription.
How Does Partner Pricing Work?
Bring a training partner and the hour becomes $50 per person instead of $100 solo — same hour, same instruction, split between two people instead of one. This is popular with couples, training buddies, or a parent and an older teenager who want to work together.
The tradeoff is obvious: less individual mat time per person than a solo hour, more reps against a live body instead of just me. For beginners especially, having someone to actually drill sweeps and escapes on can matter more than pure one-on-one attention. If you're weighing this against a regular class schedule, private lessons vs group classes breaks down that tradeoff further.
How Does This Compare to Manhattan Pricing?
I'm not going to throw out a Manhattan number I can't back up, because I don't run those schools and don't know their current rates. What I can say honestly: Manhattan real estate costs more, and private lesson pricing across the city tends to track that — rent gets baked into the rate one way or another.
Brighton Beach isn't Manhattan rent. A private lesson here doesn't carry that overhead, and my flat rate reflects that without me needing to guess at anyone else's number. If price is the main thing pushing your search, that gap is usually the honest reason why.
Who Should Book a Private Instead of a Class?
If you're brand new and nervous about stepping onto a crowded mat, or a competitor with a specific hole in your game before a tournament, a private makes more sense than another group class. Read BJJ private lessons in Brooklyn for a longer look at when one-on-one time actually moves the needle versus when group training is the better call.
Hours run Monday through Thursday mornings, Friday and weekend midday-through-afternoon blocks — exact open slots are on the booking calendar, not fixed appointment times I can list here.
Quick price recap
Solo: $100 for one hour. With a partner: $50 per person for one hour, same session. No packages, no memberships — you pay per hour, every time.
