It's been 10 years since I wrote my last review, so I think we are due for an update. The Pure…read morefacility has more than tripled in size since 2015, and has turned into one of the largest, most state of the art MMA facilities in NJ. They have also grown an amazing kids and adults isshinryu karate program that started in 2019, and their women's Jiu Jitsu team has grown exponentially as well - making it the biggest woman led, women's only Jiu Jitsu programs in New Jersey. It has turned into one of the most sought after places to train, with multiple members who travel more than 45 minutes to train there. I can't express into words how welcoming the community is to people of all walks of life, all experience levels - whether you are coming alone or with your entire family. I highly recommend checking them out!

There's so much I can write about Pure MMA. The staff, the owners, the classes, the other…read morestudents... they are honestly ALL amazing. Coming in to Jiu Jitsu with an extensive background in Tae kwon do I thought would be an extreme challenge... but here I am! Learning and loving every second of it thanks to everyone there supporting me and helping me be better on, as well as off, the mats! I never thought I'd find such an amazing facility where you legitimately feel like part of a family. I HIGHLY recommend Pure MMA to anyone with an interest in trying any of their multiple programs!!

I've been training bjj since 2013, and I've been part of the RGD family since 2014. From parking,…read moreto the cleanliness of the facility, to the generous class schedule, to the friendliness of the staff, and the amazing bjj that Prof. Sernack embodies, everything about RGD is excellent. If you walk into any class on any day, either Vinny (Program Director/ excellent purple belt,) or Prof. George himself will warmly greet you and make you feel at home. The jiu jitsu is top notch, and the students are best I've ever worked with. I simply can't say enough good things about RGD, because frankly I consider it a second home. It's the place I bring my sons to learn about jiu jitsu and life. I'm proud to say that Prof. George awarded me my black belt in October of 2021, and I foresee myself and my family training at RGD for many decades to come. If you find yourself in Morris County for any reason, stop by Renzo Gracie Denville and say hello. You'll be glad that you did! Oss!

I have been a member at AMA for 7 years now, and I honestly don't know if I could imagine my life…read morewith out AMA, Helwig, Carl, Anthony and the group of training partners I have shared since joining. Helwig has the unique teaching skill of being able to relate complex concepts in an easily digestible structure to elevate skills of anyone who trains. Combined with finding what motivates each student and tactfully pushing them. Learning Brazilian Jiu Jitsu will never feel so individualized in a group setting. Additionally, the other black belts Carl and Anthony both instructors, provide great wealth of knowledge and experience. The combined knowledge of these 3 has greatly influenced and grown my skills. The philosophy of AMA is simple; full resistance training. Making sure what you learn can be applied to situations where there is no complying partner/opponent, translating directly to real world application. There is no better place to train in the area if you are looking to get learn Brazilian Jiu Jitsu

The worst training facility I've ever been to. Would give 0 if I could. The instructor Alex asked…read moreme to get in turtle (a compromised position) while he tried to submit me my goal is to not get submitted. I ended up getting smothered a few minutes in and I tapped and said I need to reset because of my elbow. He proceeded to tell me "this is not how that works" (ON MY FIRST CLASS! ) when I asked to get up. I had to use everything I had to get to a position so I could breathe and eventually force the instructor off. I wouldn't recommend this gym to anyone honestly. The owner came in and told me to quote "get the fuck out". Thuggish, little rules, not clean. Sad that an instructor has the ability to strip the fun out of such an amazing combat sport.
