If I ever move to New York, this would definitely be my home gym. I've visited many New York gyms (from the most prestigious to single local gyms) and I find myself returning to this one. Super friendly, and very welcoming. As a woman who's traveling and training, those two things are very much needed. The instructor provides very detailed demonstration and keeps an eye out during drill AND open mat to give further instructions and tips for improvements.I highly recommend this gym.

5* A+ Grappling GymI've known the head coach/founder, Alex, for several years, and he's a great guy. He clearly cares a lot about his students, and is a high level expert as well as a great coach.I had dropped in a handful of times over the last few years, and always enjoyed the training and environment, so I got myself a full time membership, 4 months ago, to do multiple classes every week, and have been fully satisfied with my decision.The class structure is great. They start on time (so get there a bit early, to get ready), don't waste valuable class time on filler warmups, allocate time for students to drill what they are personally working on, run through high percentage techniques (I actually use pretty much everything that we are taught, in my day-to-day game), and then get into several live rounds (you can opt to roll in a light, medium, or hard section).All of the instructors I have met have been friendly and highly skilled, and the members are all very chill. Whether you are a new white belt, or a seasoned black belt, you'll fit in, and be able to get some solid training. If you're looking to compete, there is a very strong comp team here, as well, with competitors at all levels. The training schedule is also convenient, with classes multiple times a day, 7 days a week.If you are considering training here, go sign up for a free trial class, and get started. It's definitely worth it. Highly recommended

The best academy! Alex has created an amazing atmosphere where everyone feels like one big family. He always goes above & beyond to check up on you when you’re absent. Classes are guided by world class instructors and are packed with knowledge! It’s truly one of the best places to train in the city.Much love & thanks for everything Alex!

Amazing gym, friendly and competitive environment. Perfect gym to join if interested in jumping into the competition scene, as they have pro training classes available. It’s a Clean space and very knowledgeable instructors; that help introduce you the sport of grappling, even on the first day you step on the mats! Outstanding gym that offers a strong sense of community located in the heart of New York City.

Visited from Toronto and these guys welcomed me with open arms. They let me drop in for training and really made me feel like family. Can’t recommend them highly enough!
