Overall: 5/5 One of the best martial arts places I've seen…read morein NYC. The Muay Thai instructor on Monday nights is awesome. He cares a lot about the students, and after class gave me pointers on how to work out and be more relaxed... above and beyond the scope of duty. The BJJ instructors were quite friendly as well. They throw you into the deep end here for BJJ... everyone learns the same drills, so there's no "easy different drill". Which can be both a good thing (you learn with rest of class, and you get forced to catch up) or bad thing (you might not need such a specialist technique) depending on your opinion. Value: 5/5 They have a great deal on Groupon, but I think they have a great welcome offer as well. They didn't try to hard-sell you an upgrade when you sign up, and didn't even need a credit card # when I used my groupon. Environment: 4.5/5 Community seems quite friendly. People were willing to help you out, and weren't looking to hurt you. What more could you ask for? Instruction: 5/5 The Monday night Muay Thai instructor is the best martial arts instructor I've seen in NYC. Admin: 5/5 See value section. They didn't try to hard sell and the owner seems quite interested in what's going on in his gym.

I can't recommend them enough!

Neither of us had any experience with Muay Thai before but we were up for the physical and mental challenge of learning something new. They do offer a trial class for you to go and see if you like the atmosphere and the sport itself. I would highly recommend doing a few private lessons to really master some basics that you can then implement in the class. That's what we did, we did private lessons weekly for close to 3 months before enrolling in the classes themselves. Im glad that we did that as I felt much more knowledgeable and comfortable going into class and knowing what I needed to work on to improve. The people that work there are wonderful and the students are great too! Everyone is very inviting and friendly which I think is important for a new person stepping into an atmosphere, that from the outside, might look intimidating. If you're considering a martial art to try Muay Thai is fun and an intense workout! But they do also offer BJJ, I do not practice this so cannot personally touch on it, but I have friends who do those classes and they love them! All in all, it's a great facility with amazing people making it a fun experience, intense training session, all for an affordable price. You're missing out if you don't at least look into Hinds!

I didn't know how to react at the moment. Also, the jui-jitsu trainer named Kyle is just absolute trash, does not know how to talk to people and got very mad at me and started having a personal vendetta towards me cause I didn't give him a handshake and I recently found he actually went to prison. When I DMed the hinds combat admin about this they didn't do anything about it. I went to their other place in Midtown and the owner actually kicked me out for calling out for the BS. I asked for my money back and he refused, it escalated to him getting in my face where I pushed him back and one of the other trainer came out of nowhere and sucker punched me. I reported him to the police and he left in handcuffs. The owner I think showed how trash and ignorant he is. I wouldn't recommend this place. Someone who wants quality training
