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.

New to kickboxing? 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 class is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit or coordinated to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and coaches scale every drill to you. Second, you won't be thrown into hard sparring — reputable gyms build the basics (stance, footwork, and punches and kicks on pads and bags) first, and any contact eases in gradually under a coach's control. Third, all fitness 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 kickboxing class at @Jiu-Jitsu NYC (Jackson Heights, NY) Mixed Martial Arts Academy
Nervous about walking into a kickboxing 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 — stance, footwork, and punches and kicks on pads or a heavy bag — not hard sparring. Go at your own pace and rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: comfortable athletic clothes you can move and sweat in, and supportive trainers. What to bring: water, and hand wraps and gloves if you have them — many gyms lend loaner gloves for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gloves and wraps (and shin guards once you start sparring). Sparring is optional and eases in gradually, once your basics 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.
