“Amazing school with incredible instructors and supportive classmates. The flexible schedule makes it super convenient to attend classes no matter how busy you are. The training is top-notch, offering a perfect balance of challenge and encouragement for all skill levels. The staff creates an inclusive, family-like atmosphere where everyone feels welcome and valued. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking to train and grow!”

“Recently went as they offered a complimentary Self Defense class for woman. As an Asian female nowadays, we felt it was important to take and I'm so glad we did. We were encouraged to sign up with a partner so we would be sparring with someone we already knew (for health/safety). The instructors showed us the moves slowly and walked around to make sure we were doing it correctly. After, they provided us with personal alarms in partnership with the NYPD and felt we learned such valuable takeaways from this one class.”

“Visited from Toronto and these guys welcomed me with open arms. They let me drop in for a few classes and made me feel like family. Can’t recommend them highly enough!”

“Gentle Art is the best choice for Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. Check them out! The best instructors and staff, and super clean!”

“I started training here 2.5 years ago at 32 with no prior martial arts experience. With that said, I couldn't be happier with my decision to go with Gentle Art Studio. The instructors and students made me feel welcomed and helped me along the way. The instructor are world class and my only regret is I didn't join sooner! Everyone I encountered here has been friendly and respectful and I feel safe and welcomed.”
