Came in from out of town for the holidays and wanted to continue training in BJJ while I was home…read more I went here with 2 of my friends who had never done BJJ who wanted to try it out. The facility is very spacious. There's a main training area and then another smaller room with mats and workout equipment for other classes or free rolling. The place is also extremely clean and the vibe is great. If you've been to a martial arts academy with a bad vibe you will know what I mean, but this place is nothing but positive. The woman at the front desk was very helpful and got us situated with a 10 day trial and my friends with rental gi's. We were then greeted by the head coach John Ingallina who is the embodiment of a professional. He is extremely welcoming, kind, professional, and explained the whole Gracie Combatives system to us. During class he was great at explaining the techniques being taught, and made good work of going to each person and ensuring they did it right. As an out of towner I was completely welcomed by the staff and other class members. I 100% would recommend this, and have done so to my 2 friends who I am very close to.

The team/instructors do a thorough job to ensure that even first timers starting out their jiu jitsu journey are welcomed with open arms. At the end of my first class everyone made sure to introduce themselves and ask what got me interested to sign up. I highly recommend for those looking for their next physical and mental feat!

I stopped in one weekend to check it out for myself (typically not one to go somewhere new like this by myself). After speaking with the coaches and hanging with the guys(rolling) I immediately knew this was a great fit for me. Very knowledgeable coaching and the family vibe I received was more than enough to make me feel comfortable, especially with a close combat sport as this. Soon enough I came to call everyone at flow my brothers and sisters. Never knew how much cardio and technique there was in BJJ. Very fun and can be as demanding as you want it to be, from just regular exercise, to tournaments, and even getting in the ring. You will not be disappointed.

After recently moving to the Oswego area, I was having great difficulty finding morning care for both my 10-year old son and my 17-year old son with autism. The peace of mind that I now have knowing that my boys are safe and well cared for is just priceless. Even the occasional half-day, early dismissal, or delayed start to school can be accommodated with ease by the staff. My youngest just began taking after school Taekwondo classes, and is really benefitting from the physical activity, positive interactions with his peers and instructors, and the character education embedded within the martial arts lessons. As a part of the community, they also work with local schools and sponsor special activities such as a recent evening focused on preventing bullying.

They let you trial it for a month, and during that time, they give the kids a belt and get them excited so you'll sign up for the year. A few weeks after that, my son completely lost interest and threw a fit every time we made him go. I called to see if we could work something out, and they told me the best they could do was to let me pay for another 7 months (over $900) to "buy out" the agreement. I told them I didn't want to pay for something I wasn't going to and didn't want to use, and they threatened to send me to collections. We ended up limping through the rest of the year, going some of the time, but it was a very negative experience. Not to mention that for the younger kids, this is glorified gym class at best. I would strongly encourage folks to stay away.
