The coaches/teachers/professors are great with young kids. We were visiting from out of state for a…read moreweek and they were gracious enough to let my 5 year old join. Everyone was amazed that we were able to find a drop-in gym for kids, but these guys made it no big deal. They were communicative via email, welcoming upon arrival, and even recommended a more suitable class for my kid. Many of the parents also practice and from what I've seen, the teachers know what they're doing. They use humor to engage the kids, never screaming or forcing them. We would happily join this gym again if we're ever in the area.

Many years ago I started my martial arts studies at a school in the Bronx, and it started with BJJ…read moreclasses. As years went by I changed my focus to the Nashid karate system (which I still train in), and then my Sensei brought Professor André into our school...my love for BJJ resurrected! Though I did not find Professor André through Yelp, I wanted to help you, the Yelpers decision easier. He's an excellent instructor to everyone of all ages. The moment you meet him, his personality and love to teach shines through. I mean, it's kept me engaged for three years. In fact, I travel from NYC all the way to Great Neck to continue my training with Professor André and his students (every opportunity I get). So if you're looking for the right place to train, have your children train, and want a person fully invested in all of his students, there's no need to look any further. Just look at all the photos on his Yelp page...including the ones I've uploaded shows he is the real deal. Great Neck and surrounding towns, you're lucky to have Professor Andre and the A Force BJJ academy in your backyard. Thank you for everything you do Professor..ous

I got the new year package which included the child's uniform and a month of classes, two days a week for $99. We are doing the Saturday and Sunday morning classes, half hour each class. They start on time, disciplined from beginning to the end of the classes. The instructors are great with the kids, high energy and keep my little one's attention the entire time. They do a few exercises then break up into groups, depending on the child's belt level, and practice taekwondo skills. They take two short water breaks and keep going. Each class ranges from $15 - $24 each. I am pleased with how things are going so far and how excited my son is from when we get there to when we leave. He looks forward to each class. Definitely recommend this place to parents looking to put their little ones in a good indoor activity!

The classes are great - Master James and Erol are kind and energetic teachers who teach my kids more than just the TKD kicks and forms, but about respect, discipline, and focus. I love how my kids are not only staying physically active, but every aspect of the class has a deeper underlying element that they are being taught. Plus they are having so much fun! I love the small class sizes because my kids really get individualized attention and correction. The space is beautiful and clean, the owners are so generous and friendly. My kids eagerly and willingly get ready for each class and would go every day if they could!

I am a homeschool mother of three and also run a co-op. Nearly two months ago, we scheduled a Jiu…read moreJitsu class with this facility and confirmed the date and time multiple times with the owner. Despite all of that, when our class was supposed to take place today, our entire group was left standing outside in the cold because the owner simply **forgot** our scheduled class. This was, without question, the most disappointing and unprofessional experience our homeschool group has ever had. Our outings are usually smooth, positive, and well-coordinated, so for something this important to be handled with such carelessness is extremely upsetting. There was absolutely no accountability, no apology that matched the situation, and not even an offer to make up the class they failed to provide. I am deeply disappointed in the lack of responsibility, communication, and basic courtesy shown to our group. I cannot in good conscience recommend this place to anyone. Their behavior falls far below what one should expect from any business--let alone a martial arts school that claims to teach discipline and respect.

I first joined because I wanted to lose weight and learn how to handle conflict, but I've gained so much more than that. The training has helped me become stronger, both physically and mentally, and my overall mental health has improved in ways I never expected. I feel more confident, calm, and able to handle whatever life throws at me. The instructors are amazing and truly care about every student. They're patient, encouraging, and make every class a great experience. The community here feels like a second family, and everyone supports each other. I'm so grateful for the love and guidance from the instructors and my fellow students. If you're looking for a place that can help you grow in every way, I can't recommend the New Martial Arts Academy enough. It's been one of the best decisions I've ever made! Tt was pretty affordable, they let you pay monthly under a 12 month contract, or you can payoff the whole contract at once if you can so that you can avoid the monthly expense.
