★★★★★ — Malcolm, Feb 2025

Excellent team of hand picked ,Top Notch , reliable, professional , and 100% friendly Instructors. I’ve followed Mark Fillecia’s career since the early 90’ and it’s always a pleasure to watch him compete competitively or even just train.

★★★★★ — Greg, Oct 2021

I love this place. I’m coming from another BJJ place on the island but this school is different. I have nothing bad to say bout anyone else but this school is for fighters. Beginners and advanced. Everyone gets along real well. Really helpful and the Coach’s are great. U can tell they were all former fighters.

★★★★★ — Henry, Oct 2021

Great new MMA/BJJ gym opened on Staten Island! Location: 407 Manor Rd, SI NY. Gym is located a convenient few minutes off the expressway with decent street parking. Atmosphere: The gym has all the proper equipment a member would need and want to see. All equipment was well maintained and looked new.

New to muay thai? Start at Staten Island Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu/MMA

Staten Island Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu/MMA 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 Staten Island Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu/MMA

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.

Muay thai is a contact sport. Ease in, listen to your coaches, and if you have any injuries or health concerns, mention them before class and check with a doctor if you're unsure.
