Derek_Picinich_BJJ_BERGEN_COUNTY_NJI have been training with Karel on a regular basis since 2006.  Since my training with Karel, my submissions have well improved.

Before training at Silver Fox, I never submitted an opponent in a tournament.  Now most of my wins are by submission.

Karel is a very knowledgeable instructor who, like most black belts, has not stopped learning and training when he achieved his black belt.

I would say Karel is one of the most knowledgeable instructors around and caters to all of his students.

Troy_Hodas_BJJ_BERGEN_COUNTY_NJ " I first met Karel training at Renzo’s when I was back in College.  We became good friends and from 1997-2000 in addition to training at Renzo’s we would train in his basement twice a week at 6am before he left for work.  For as long as I can remember Karel has been very disciplined and trains every day.  Truly living up to his belief that “the martials arts are a way of life.”  He’s found the right balance that enables him to do this and I think it can partially be attributed to his very technical style.  Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is the “thinking man’s game” and his style exemplifies this.

In 2000 when I graduated life took hold and 10 years later I found myself 32 years old and feeling I was missing something.  I had drifted away from Jiu Jitsu and it was time to come back.  I knew Karel now had his own school and had been devoted to teaching full time, while still training with top level guys at Renzo’s 3 times per week.

I drive an hour and 15minutes and pass a lot of other schools to train at Silver Fox BJJ.  The instruction, quality of teammates, and atmosphere make it an easy decision.  After only 4 months of training here, I entered the Pan Americans and got gold!  Since then I’ve entered two other tournaments and have taken the podium at both.  I give credit to quality instruction and top quality workout partners.  I’ve been back 11 months now and all is well.  I’ve come to appreciate again the discipline of working towards something and having goals.  The atmosphere at the school is great with everyone looking to help each other become better.  There are many success stories and I would recommend for you to come and train.  I believe you’ll find it was the right decision!"

dave-paladino-bjj_BERGEN_COUNTY_NJ“How many people can say they received their Black Belt from Renzo Gracie? I have over 25 years experience in the martial arts and I am currently training with Karel Pravec at Silver Fox Brazilian Jiu Jitsu located at the Bob Long School of Self Defense in Lodi. In my opinion, Karel is a very high level Renzo Gracie Black Belt and dedicated instructor. Karel has a great mind for jiu-jitsu and is a great technician of the art. My BJJ game has improved tremendously since I have been attending Karel’s classes. If you want to learn from one of the area’s best Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu instructors then Karel Pravec is your man. The school is filled with life long martial artists from every discipline which promotes a great training atmosphere and very conducive to improving your Bjj game. Thanks Karel!”

Ricky_DeLuca_BJJ_BERGEN_COUNTY_NJ" I love training at Silver Fox BJJ. Since I've started, I've not only gotten in better shape and learned how to defend myself but I've also made a ton of great friends. The atmosphere is great and the guys are all real friendly. It's more like joining a family than a team. Everyone works together and helps each other develop and grow as martial artists. Joining the Silver Fox BJJ family was one of the best decisions I've ever made."

Cesar_Olleres_BJJ_BERGEN_COUNTY_NJ" It has been almost about two years since I found myself at the front door of Silver Fox BJJ Academy in Saddle Brook NJ. Through a sleep study test, I was found to have sleep apnea, a condition where a person would stop breathing for periods of time. It was mainly due to my weight, as I was about 185 lbs at the time, which for my 5’4 ft/in frame is overweight. I used to train in boxing during my high school years and decided to skip on gym memberships and take up Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu to lose the pounds.

After several trips to other BJJ schools, I found my home at Silver Fox. Karel and the instructors at the school are excellent and even though the atmosphere is relaxing and laid back, the talent of the BJJ practitioners here are of the highest caliber. As I am writing this, I am at 148 lbs and in the process of getting to my target weight of 140 lbs. My wife tells me I hardly snore now when I sleep. Not to mention I am in the best shape of my life and my BJJ game keeps on improving.

What started off as a goal to lose weight has become a way of life, I encourage people out there to give the sport of BJJ a try. I must tell you that it is not the easiest thing in the world, but then again, nothing worth having is."

" I learned a few years back that, to be the best, you have to train with the best. After carefully researching schools within my area (and a few poor experiences), I found home at Silver Fox BJJ.

I was impressed from day one. I was well received, and there were plenty of quality guys of all shapes and levels to roll with. I continue to learn of ways to advance my game with every class, and my technique has improved tremendously. I have been training in BJJ for years, and have never experience such rapid and solid progress.

I have gotten tons of help with my BJJ technique, but also with my WHOLE game, in a fun and practical training environment. Karel and his instructors have inspired great improvements for me, in and out of the mat by the lead of their example. Thanks Karel!"

"Whether you're looking to get in better shape, learn self-defense,or find a hobby thats both physically & mentally challenging you should look no further than Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. And if you're looking for instruction that's personalized and effective at any level (self-dense, aerobic workout, grappling/mixed martial arts competition) you should definitely check out Silver Fox BJJ.

I've used to train with Karel Pravec when I was home from college during the summer and I was looking to take the place of my college BJJ club back in 2008. From my first session I was able to appreciate Karel's ability to demonstrate techniques and break them down into bite-sized pieces that I could wrap my head around.

I just recently started training again with Karel and I was amazed his new facility in Saddle Brook. Brand new zebra mats, changing area with showers, and enough space for everyone to train without running into each other just compliments the training. The new facility comes with new sessions and the best part is you can find a session 7 days a week.

Class starts with a warm-up that's designed to get your heart rate elevated, blood pumping, and muscles loose. Next Karel shows a series of 2 to 3 moves (offensive or defensive). You continue to drill the moves while Karel observes and critics your technique. Class ends with 3 - 5 minute round of live sparring/rolling.

By the end of class you've definitely got a great workout, learned a takedown, throw, choke, or armlock, and have had a chance to implement it into your game with sparring.

Silver Fox BJJ has some of the best instruction around and I say this since I've trained with the Club Team at Rutgers University, Advanced Martial Arts in New Brunswick, West Chester BJJ in NY, and Metro Detroit BJJ in Michigan. The atmosphere is one of respect amongst all skill levels, camaraderie amongst training partners, and spirited competition amongst sportsmen.

BJJ is fun, enlightening, and makes for a healthy lifestyle."
