I joined the gym recently and absolutely loving it! Hitting mainly the 7 a.m. classes before work, Monday through Friday. The team and instructors are all excellent; the warm-up, drills, technique, sparring, and cool down are all wonderful to aid in learning, injury prevention, and safety.<br><br>For morning classes, we do a warm-up, movement drills, submission drills, technique, sparring, and a quick yoga flow at the end! (shout out to Andrew). It's the absolute best way to start my morning. Each night I fall asleep, and I look forward to starting the day with a BJJ session!<br><br>The spacious gym is in a newer building on the 4th floor, features all-white mats, and has a squat rack and more in the back. So far, I've learned a lot of new moves and refined old ones; the curriculum is very efficient, detailed, and accelerated.<br><br>Also, Judo and women's BJJ classes are available! If you're looking for a good community with quality in
If you are looking for a place to train then look no further. Rocian Gracie Jr. is the BEST! The facility is clean, everyone is so welcoming, Professor Marlon Colorado does an amazing job at teaching the true Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. It has been an absolute gift to have this school as an anchor in our community and family. The welcoming atmosphere they provide allows anyone to learn and excel. From your first class and on, the friendly instructors are there to help you grow and progress in your Jiu-Jitsu Journey. The instant trust and camaraderie you develop with each of your training partners allows you to relax and know you are there to learn and progress together. The entire premise of the academy is to provide a safe place to learn self-defense through the gentle art of Jiu-Jitsu.
I can genuinely testify that this is a good school primarily due to the personalities of the instructors which is quite important to me and for the foundations that one will develop in both BJJ and Judo. I signed up for this school primarily because they were offering Judo, a martial arts that to this day I am quite curious about. BJJ was a plus but, as you may well know, an invaluable asset to any martial artist.<br><br>I have been looking for a martial arts school for over 5 years. And it is telling that I chose and kept with this one (considering that NYC has no lack of good martial art schools). It is not perfect and I would give it a 4.7/5.0 if I had the option, but since only whole number grades are allowed I had to round it to the closest unit. Here are the pros and cons:<br><br>Pros:<br>1) Friendly environment. The teachers, staff, and students are very friendly.<br>2) Professional instructors who know what they are talking abou
tl;dr friendly, generously priced, large training center offering multiple modes of combat and self-defense training with a large degree of personalization.<br><br>I’ve been coming for a year for their Brazilian Jiujitsu and Judo programs with zero combat experience*. I do not think there is another center that offers the same level of approachability, space, or, for those who care, affordability in Long Island City. I pay monthly to get unlimited access to all of their BJJ and Judo classes. The environment is low-pressure with a high skill-ceiling I cannot yet fully comprehend.<br><br>BJJ offers multiple classes from different instructors, each with their own strengths and all serious about their craft.<br><br>Judo is offered thrice a week with a back-to-back basics class and a sparring class (randori). Our cohort is friendly, strong, and rapidly growing. Sensei will teach fundamentals with clarity and precision.<br><br>This is a good
If you are looking to get in shape, continue martial arts, learn self defense or just want to find out what BJJ is about, this is the place to go. Marlon Colorado is an amazing professor, his patience and ability to work with new students makes the classes a great place for beginners but his knowledge of the art is above and beyond what you need to advance technically in the sport. All of the students are respectful, energetic, encouraging and excited to train hard in every class, from white belt to black.

I cannot say enough about the team at this academy and the family that this school has become for me. This academy is a great place to train for all.
My son has been training here for a few months now, and we truly couldn’t be happier with our experience. From day one, the instructors have created such a safe, supportive, and welcoming environment where kids can grow, build confidence, and really thrive.<br><br>We’ve recently started participating in tournaments with the academy, which has been an incredibly exciting and rewarding experience for our family.
