From the reviews
Greg and his team welcomed my autistic son with open arms and compassion. Our goal was to get him active and have more body awareness. I can say wholeheartedly that since going to Hampton’s Jiu Jitsu we can see a positive change in my son’s mood, self esteem, and sleep patterns.
What an amazing dojo!! My 11 year old son recently started practicing at Hamptons Jiu Jitsu with sensei Greg Melita.. This is his first experience with Martial Arts and Greg has not only made him feel welcome and capable but he’s already instilled in my son a love and respect for Jiu Jitsu.
My daughter experienced have been awesome and she enjoyed the classes and her couches

New to muay thai? Start at Hamptons Jiu Jitsu
Hamptons Jiu Jitsu comes up as a beginner-friendly gym — noted on their own site. If you've never thrown a punch or a kick, that's exactly who a good beginners program is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and coaches scale the conditioning to you. Second, you won't be thrown into sparring — reputable gyms build fundamentals (stance, footwork, and the basic strikes of the "art of eight limbs") for weeks before any contact, and sparring stays optional. Third, all levels really are welcome — ask about a dedicated beginners or fundamentals class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out. Most gyms are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
Your first muay thai class at Hamptons Jiu Jitsu
Nervous about walking into a muay thai gym for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good coaches expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling the basics on pads and bags — not fighting. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: shorts or athletic wear and a t-shirt; you'll train barefoot on the mats. What to bring: water and hand wraps if you have them — many gyms lend gloves for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gloves, wraps, a mouthguard, and shin guards. Sparring is optional and comes later, once your fundamentals are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the coach. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
