Clever Combat Jiu-Jitsu & MMA

"I’ve been wrestling in the Capital District for over 20 years and have trained at a lot of different clubs. Clever Combat is hands down one of the best. The wrestling, Jiu-Jitsu, and Muay Thai programs here are top-notch, and the coaches really know how to bring out the best in their athletes. The wrestling program is amazing. The technique, intensity, and attention to detail are next level. Whether you’re just starting out or already competing at a high level, the coaches here know exactly how to help you improve. It’s not just about drilling moves—it’s about developing real skill and mat awareness. The Jiu-Jitsu and Muay Thai programs are just as impressive. The training is tough but supportive, and the atmosphere pushes everyone to get better. It’s the kind of place where hard work pays off, and you can really see the progress. If you want to take your training seriously—whether it’s for yourself or your kids—this is the place to be. Clever Combat is doing something special, and I can’t recommend it enough!"

"The most fun place to train. Awesome location and set up with high level BJJ, wrestling and Muay Thai. Love the community and friends I have made here and always welcoming to new people."

"Go someplace else, this place is a nuisance. A lot of drama and issues. The coach’s have anger issues and whine about the most abstain things ever imaginable. You’ll only be trained if the coach likes you otherwise dodge this place. Coach wanted to go to court with me over spreading a word big mistake. You can keep your clever jokes to yourself never again."

"The staff, atmosphere, quality of instruction, and value are unmatched by any other MMA gym in the area. BJJ, Muay Thai, Wrestling, Yoga, and Weightlifting all under one roof. Do yourself a favor, and join the fight club."
