Lawrence Ho

"Great BJJ school! Excellent culture and instructors. The schedule covers a lot of time slots for both BJJ and Kickboxing throughout the entire week. Class always starts on time. Offers both BJJ and Kickboxing at beginner and advanced levels. Highly recommended!"

Jack Depiro

"Amazing atmosphere and great people. Highly recommend for everyone at any level of experience and any age. From beginners to advanced athletes skilled in any martial art, there’s a class for everyone. An amazing team to be apart no doubt."

Anisa Tocila

"I just gotta tell ya about this super cool BJJ & Muay Thai martial arts school I found in Morristown! It’s like a big adventure playground where you get to learn awesome moves and make lots of new friends! First off, the coaches there are so professional . They’re so nice and patient, and they really know their stuff. They show you all these cool moves step by step, and they make sure you’re having a blast while learning. And the other members there are very welcoming. Everyone is cheering each other on, helping each other get better, and having a great time together. It feels like a big family! So if you wanna have a workout, learn self defence,make awesome friends, and have a ton of fun, this BJJ & Muay Thai school is the place to be. Trust me, you’re gonna love it!"

Delaney Son

"I just moved to the Morristown area 3 months ago and stumbling across AMA was one of the best things to happen. I was looking for something to do so I could mix up my gym routine. I've been lifting for for 10+ years and thought "let me give muay thai a try." After doing the trial class with Coach Brandon I was hooked. I'm here pretty much every day of the week and now exclusively train Muay Thai instead of lifting. If you're looking for a great Muay Thai/BJJ gym this is the place to be. Great coaches, great atmosphere. Couldn't ask for anything more!"
