"My son has been attending for three years, and we’re very happy with the experience. He is on the Autism Spectrum, and the staff here are incredibly neuro-affirming and supportive. It took him some time to adjust to the routine, but they were patient and consistent throughout the process. One thing I really appreciate is that they limit how many new students are admitted each month. This helps ensure that each child can ease into the class environment without being overwhelmed. While my son has had challenges with following directions, the teachers have always responded with understanding and care. They gently redirect him when needed and recognize that some learning milestones are simply not within his control yet. They meet him where he is, and that makes all the difference. Highly recommend!"
"Extremely clean, big and comfortable (and cold for the summer!) Jao is a really cool teacher and genuinely good person. He is interested in providing supportive vibes for a community to thrive, as well as teaching technique and healthily tries to push you. As a new student, I felt very comfortable as I felt I was in the presence of friendly people. Would recommend."
"stopped by for summer time BJJ training before my competition, Coach Joel and Sebastian really look out for me and make sure that I'm prepped and ready to kick butt. super welcoming and attentive. Only complaint I have is that its too good haha... Also for anyone looking to sign their kid up, brought my shy 13 year old sister to train here and she loves it, really came out of her shell and is more confident from the training... highly recommend this place"
"My son has been attending JMA BKNY for a few months now and loves it. He is learning new techniques that he is always eager to show us after class. We are super happy with the level of respect the instructors have for each student and the time they take to encourage each individual to improve. It has been a very pleasant experience."
