My first set of classes, I left already planning to maximize my time. Typically, in a new city, I try several different places before settling on one I like. I couldn't sign up fast enough, after my first evening workout. The Jiu Jitsu instruction is solid. Brian McLaughlin has a lot of knowledge to pass on, and his students benefit from his enthusiasm and desire to teach. The advanced class is before the lower level class, which is opposite of most places. Kids classes are also offered, and there are TVs in the sitting area to watch your kid and get yourself motivated to sign up for your own classes. Most boxing classes at other gyms are focused on just cardio or fitness bag work. Not so much here. You are going to get a solid boxing coach and training with drills to solidify what you learn. You will get the conditioning to go along with it. I'm not much for Muay Thai, but if you are in to that, I'm sure the training here is on par with everything else. Train here. You won't regret it!

The whole staff was extremely courteous and welcoming. The techniques Prof. Brian went through were great and I even had the opportunity to go a couple rounds with him. The space was large and super clean which is always a plus for a gym. The vibe was also fun and there was definitely a sense of community. If you are in Poughkeepsie and you're looking for a great place to train BJJ, Muay Thai, or Boxing, look no further than Precision!

We signed him up to go to the karate school soon after and he has really blossomed - he was more of a shy uncertain kid with little to no self confidence now he has no problem raising his hand , offering to helping others , speaking up and using his voice , he's like another child The thing I really love about them ( one of many things I should say ) is they send forms to the elementary school to see how they are doing and keeping up with their studies as they really emphasized how important it is to do well at school and be respectful at home They also do these wonderful events that the community is invited to : open houses , holiday parties , summer BBQ 's , back to school events , parents night outs so many to name!

So my husband is super picky about martial arts since he has extensive training in martial arts himself, when he found out that Sensei Mike Polito is starting the kid class, he was excited. The class is organized in warm up, punches, kicks, forms, free style fight, and closing. Thanks to the lifted restrictions, mask is no longer required. From watching them practice, I really appreciate how patient yet firm sensai is with the kids. My daughter loves the class and looking forward to her continuous training with sensai. P.S. the adult class is from 8-9 pm Monday, looks pretty interesting too.

So my question is those words are from a professional person that who is working with kids? I don't think so! I don't recommend this school at all, if the master instructor doesn't have patience please don't accept kids. Also why they made me pay for one month if after 2 weeks they called me to say that my son isn't ready to take their class? I paid for one month and he just go 4 times in 2 weeks. Very disappointed!
