"I first enrolled my daughter in their after school program, then I included their BJJ program integrated within their after school program. They helped her become more grounded, able to control her emotions and energy, and built confidence. I was so fascinated with their facility that I ended up enrolling into their monthly unlimited BJJ program. I found a new passion because of this place. Everyone including the owners cherish this facility and everyone entering. They became pillars of the community. Overall a winning team! Best decision was investing in them by joining the lotus family."
"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!"
"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."
