Fritz Michel
"If you want to level up as fast as possible, this is where you want to be. Belts don't matter. Only skills do! The mats don't lie! -Fritz Michel Jr"
Mike Vee
"Van guard instructors are world-class. The environment is like no other gym I've received any martial arts training at. Highly recommend this place to any and everyone. Nick, Jason, and the Van Guard coaches will improve not only your self-defense skills but Van Guard has improved my life!. You have to feel it to understand."
Evan Glasgold
"I’ve been training jiujutsu for about five years, and I’ve been at Vanguard’s Lake Grove location for about two. It’s by far the cleanest facility I’ve ever seen, with legitimately world class coaching as repeated by some of the top competitors in the sport. Despite this reputation for truly elite training, each coach and member is extremely welcoming to those getting their foot in the door with the sport. Can’t say enough good things about this gym- try it out!"
Saman Qubain
"Single handily the best Jiu Jitsu dojo on Long Island. Before I started to train there I was weak and did not know how to fight. But only after a few classes I know how to defend myself. The senseis are the best of the best and are really helpful for the lessons and if you do not understand something. Would recommend if you are looking to learn self defense"
