Nico R
"I started training a few months ago, the atmosphere in is gym is a great learning environment. Everyone is friendly, experienced rollers take time to teach you, and you leave feeling exhausted from a great workout. One class at Kaizen and I was hooked, I look forward to training a few times a few week."

"The BEST Martial arts Academy in NYC. A complete hidden Gem. World Class instructors, I've gained so much more insight starting back on my journey. I've been training for a year now, It was very challenging getting back. But the amount of support I've received is truly incredible. I've had a tremendous loss of my best friend back in 2017 when I stopped jujitsu, and struggled with depression. Kaizen has helped me on my healing journey, the great people, positive space, and environment. Especially for women, which is difficult to find a home to train jujitsu. Kaizen has helped and continues to help transform my life through this practice. Looking forwards to growing here for years to come, and one day obtaining my black belt. So YES!! Just start. Oss!! Chef Jullenne❤"
