Mayra Robayo
"We're very proud to call Kioto our family. Our children have been attending for many years and absolutely love it. Children not only learn self defense, its discipline, self control but still fun. Professor Milton and Melissa do a wonderful job creating the perfect balance in each class."
Janene Stassi
"Most amazing jiu jitsu training with the best teachers in the art! My boys have flourished under their training. They do things I would have never thought they could do. I am so impressed every time I see all the kids fight. My one son, who has some developmental delays, has been growing so amazingly and Professors have been wonderful with him. They truly love and care for the kids. This place is a family. There is no place better than Kioto."
Rich K
"Professors Milton and Melissa Regis are as world class as you’re gonna find on Long Island, which is along with Southern California, the capital of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu in the US. I personally have been training in the Kioto System for many years now and my children have been for 3 years this fall. I can’t begin to express the confidence Kioto has instilled in my children. The camaraderie at Kioto is like nothing I have experienced, from HS sports to fraternal organizations. Kioto is our home away from home and I consider all my training partners family!!"
Andrew Cohen
"Kioto is such a great family oriented BJJ studio. Milton and Melissa are wonderful, informative instructors for my 4 year old. They really get through to the class in a way that these little kids understand and are able to apply their lessons effectively. It's so much fun to watch and to also see my son gain defensive skills and confidence. We have a long future ahead of us with Kioto."
