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

However, it took me a while to see that I benefited from what I learned. They gave me more of what I would need rather than what I wanted. I think it was worth the time and money in the long run. I do agree that they could improve their business model by being more upfront and clear about what they charge for and how they charge. Some people may feel it's worth it if you want old school style training and relationship with the instructor. Let's hope they help more than they hurt or take.

Don't bother if you aren't willing to push yourself at least a little. All the teachers are friendly and professional, and obviously super skilled. I hope I can stick with it. I'm pretty sure I will. I'm a little older but not that old to get back in shape and stay that way. Right now it's Covid-19 time so we haven't moved on to BJJ and hard core Muay Thai, but as soon as this virus dies I'm looking forward to learning all of it. We do practice the kicks and punches though. I love how I feel after coming out of the place. But you have to push yourself or you will get nothing from what they have to offer. I want to be healthy in my old age, with the ability to fight for me and my family, if I need to defend myself.

Garcia Muay Thai is a wonderful place to learn the "art of eight limbs". I have trained Muay Thai…read moresince 2008 and trained at many gyms in the US and Thailand. I recently moved to Glen Cove and was pleased to find that there is authentic Muay Thai being taught in the neighborhood. I checked it out for myself and quickly appreciated it. Signing up for a monthly membership was an easy decision. Master Garcia is knowledgable and caring. He will take the time and put in the effort to train you whether you are a seasoned fighter or someone who has zero martial arts training. If you're reading this review, I suggest you find the class schedule, message the owner, and come in to try it for yourself. I hope that more people in the neighborhood will begin training Muay Thai and that it fosters a greater sense of community.
