Kids Classes

Located in the heart of the Upper East Side on 86th Street, our kids martial arts program is the best in NYC. Now, we may be biased, but our kids constantly amaze us with the growth and progress they demonstrate day after day, class after class. They grow not only in martial arts, but as young people with a strong sense of confidence and leadership.

Kickboxing

Kickboxing is more than just a fitness trend. It's a martial art. Our black belt instructors are passionate about sharing their knowledge of this incredible sport through fun and dynamic classes. You'll learn real defense skills and get a kickass new hobby to brag about at your next party. Try a class! You have nothing to lose and everything to gain.

Brazilian Jiu Jitsu

We are incredibly proud to bring a top-notch Brazilian Jiu Jitsu program to the Upper East Side. Under the guidance of our black belt BJJ professors, our program is better than ever. Our students have a strong sense of community, are incredibly welcoming, and they leave their egos at the door. Come roll with us and discover for yourself the joy of jiu-jitsu!

 "I always wanted to try kickboxing, but I was nervous and didn't know what to expect. What I found was small class sizes, friendly staff, and instructors who make classes fun and non-intimidating. In the months since I started, I've been inspired to improve my diet habits which has helped me really push forward in class. I've completely fallen in love with martial arts!"
