Sean H
"Absolutely the best academy in the Hudson Valley. Everyone I rolled with on the mat was so friendly and patient with me as I was getting used to it. The owner personally works with the instructors very closely to ensure the environment is positive and engaging for everyone. Great for adults and great for kids!"
Kerry Martin
"Reno Gracie MMA Academy in Middletown, NY, has been an amazing place for my son. He’s on an IEP and struggles with sensory and behavioral challenges, but the coaches here have been incredibly patient and understanding. They take the time to work with each child individually, always offering words of encouragement and making sure they feel supported. Since starting, my son has made so much progress—not just in his skills but in his confidence and focus. The positive atmosphere and structured approach have made a huge difference for him. Highly recommend this academy for any parent looking for a supportive and professional program!"
