Explore →Great River takes its name and its character from the Connetquot River that winds through it. The hamlet is best known for the Bayard Cutting Arboretum, the 691-acre former Cutting estate on Montauk Highway with its Tudor mansion, towering evergreens, and river walk, and it sits beside both the Connetquot River State Park Preserve and Heckscher State Park. It is one of the greenest, most historic corners of the South Shore.
That easy, outdoorsy pace is a natural fit for Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Because Great River borders Oakdale, our academy is quite literally down the road for local families. Whether you are coming from Great River Road, Connetquot Avenue, or the shops along Montauk Highway, class is only a few minutes away, and the whole family gains a second community on the mats.
Train directly with three-time world champion Milton Regis, who still rolls with students every class.
The same quiet, close-knit feel Great River is known for, right on our mats.
