ABOUT CLOCKWORK

Clockwork BJJ Training

At Clockwork Jiu Jitsu, we offer an ego-free training environment in downtown NYC where all levels are welcome.

People usually reach out to us because they're curious about Jiu Jitsu. Inevitably we see this curiosity grow into passion. As our new students get more engaged in training, something even more remarkable happens.

They become sharper because they're inspired.

They get in the best shape of their lives, not through monotonous workouts, but by doing something they love. They become even better versions of themselves.

MEET OUR HEAD INSTRUCTOR

Josh Griffiths - Head Instructor

Josh Griffiths

4th Degree Black Belt | Head Instructor

Josh is a 4th Degree Black Belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and the head instructor at Clockwork Jiu Jitsu.

He began training in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu while completing his engineering degree at Stevens Institute in Hoboken, NJ.

After a few months he started training more regularly and watching competition footage. Jiu-Jitsu quickly became an obsession and something that Josh would do almost everyday and some times twice a day.

Soon after this Josh started to compete; medaling in his first 2 tournaments and taking the gold in his third (submitting all 4 of his opponents).

Since then Josh has trained with some of the best in the sport and won some of the most prestigious titles in Jiu-Jitsu including the Pan American Championship, The North American Abu Dhabi Pro Trials, and multiple Grappler's Quest and Copa Atlantica championship titles.

In 2007 Josh received his black belt from UFC star Kenny Florian. Currently Josh is focusing fulltime on instructing his students at Clockwork BJJ at 650 Broadway btw Bond Street and Bleeker Street in New York's Noho/Soho neighborhood.
