From the reviews
Absolutely love it here! Great place to learn striking and bjj. The curriculum is easy to follow for all levels. The coaches and rest of the team are super welcoming and make the classes super enjoyable! Best place to train in Queens!
My daughter’s second home. Training 2x to 3x a week not only provides strength and competence with Jiujitsu but helps her to be a better person. They teach techniques and rules to avid for the sport and life :) Coaches are always hands, supportive and are most of the time willing to lend a listening ear.
My son has become so mentally positive and loves to teach others about this art. Professor Alvaro loves teaching and he encourages all his students in every way. Same can be said about the coaches whom work with him.
Jiu Jitsu NYC is welcoming and friendly, with great training for all levels. The instructors create a safe, supportive environment where beginners and advanced students thrive. It’s a fantastic place to train!
New to muay thai? Start at @Jiu-Jitsu NYC (Jackson Heights, NY) Mixed Martial Arts Academy
@Jiu-Jitsu NYC (Jackson Heights, NY) Mixed Martial Arts Academy 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 @Jiu-Jitsu NYC (Jackson Heights, NY) Mixed Martial Arts Academy
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.
