The Finger Lakes Martial Arts Center

"We moved to Geneva a couple of months ago, and with a recommendation from a friend, we tried BJJ for our 5 yr old son. We were all hooked from the very first class. Jerry is a phenomenal teacher, and our son has found a practice that he really loves and excels in. I would recommend this school to boys or girls, kids or adults."

"To say I was new to the martial arts world would be an understatement, but it’s something I’ve always been interested in. After recently joining this gym, I quickly became hooked! Coach Jerry has a fantastic way of teaching students at all skill levels, ensuring that beginners don’t feel out of place while still challenging more advanced practitioners. He focuses on building a strong foundation and guiding each student through steady progression. One of the biggest appeals of this school has been its flexibility with scheduling, making it much easier to stay consistent with training. Overall, I’ve had an amazing experience here, and I highly recommend this gym to anyone looking to start or continue their martial arts journey!"

"We are up on vacation camping at Sampson state park and really wanted to find a spot to drop in to keep my kids and my jiu jitsu training going. Not only was Jerry very accommodating, the gym was clean, members friendly, and myself/kids fully enjoyed our class! If you live here or are visiting, I highly recommend."

"I started training BJJ with the Finger Lakes Martial Arts Center in Feb of 2024. I recommended it to everyone who will listen. It is an all around great way to stay or get fit. It is great for any age, body type, gender, and experience level. A lot of people will tell you that it is a great confidence builder, or a great workout, or a great social experience, or a great way to relieve stress... All of these things are true, and what you get out if it will be unique and very positive. If you're not feeling like working out, come in and take it easy, if you're having a bad day, come in and work it out through physical activity, if you just need some human interaction, come sit on the mat and stretch. I consider starting training BJJ at The Finger Lakes Martial Arts Center to have been a significant point in my life that changed things for the better."
