From the reviews
I first visited Unlimited Martial Arts close to a year ago to train in self defense and to learn a new martial arts system, and UMA has quickly become a second home to me. It's a perfect place for someone who wants to explore the multi-disciplinary training philosophy of the late Bruce Lee.
I trained under Sifu Phil Cruz years ago when he was at Anderson's. So happy that he opened his own school in Brooklyn! Been training there since he opened up a few weeks ago and it is awesome! The JKD class in particular is amazing! Update: still here and it’s still amazing! My son and I are belting up together!
LOVE THIS PLACE! I've been training martial arts for the past 3 years and I love the space and vibes Sifu Cruz and Fontana have created at UMA. The place itself it's gorgeous with lots of art work and it's super clean.
This place is like a 2nd home to me. The Staff have turned into big brothers and sister as well as Mentors. Their professionalism and knowledge of the Arts combined with their humbleness makes them one of the Best places to train and to learn. I greatly recommend them to anyone who wants to get into the Martial Arts.
New to muay thai? Start at Unlimited Martial Arts NYC
Unlimited Martial Arts NYC comes up as a beginner-friendly gym, going by their listing and members’ reviews. 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 Unlimited Martial Arts NYC
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.
