"I’m a purple belt who stopped into this studio for an open mat while traveling and I was very impressed with the atmosphere, structure, and training partners. I’ll definitely be using only this studio anytime I’m in Syracuse."
Maria Sanchez
"Visited for a couple drop-ins while in town on business. Coach Diego was very kind and hospitable, and made me feel very welcome. He's a very talented instructor who is excellent at breaking down the steps of each move. The gym itself is nice, clean, and tidy. I definitely hope to visit again someday! Thanks for having me :)"
