The worst training facility I've ever been to. Would give 0 if I could. The instructor Alex asked…read moreme to get in turtle (a compromised position) while he tried to submit me my goal is to not get submitted. I ended up getting smothered a few minutes in and I tapped and said I need to reset because of my elbow. He proceeded to tell me "this is not how that works" (ON MY FIRST CLASS! ) when I asked to get up. I had to use everything I had to get to a position so I could breathe and eventually force the instructor off. I wouldn't recommend this gym to anyone honestly. The owner came in and told me to quote "get the fuck out". Thuggish, little rules, not clean. Sad that an instructor has the ability to strip the fun out of such an amazing combat sport.

I have been a member at AMA for 7 years now, and I honestly don't know if I could imagine my life…read morewith out AMA, Helwig, Carl, Anthony and the group of training partners I have shared since joining. Helwig has the unique teaching skill of being able to relate complex concepts in an easily digestible structure to elevate skills of anyone who trains. Combined with finding what motivates each student and tactfully pushing them. Learning Brazilian Jiu Jitsu will never feel so individualized in a group setting. Additionally, the other black belts Carl and Anthony both instructors, provide great wealth of knowledge and experience. The combined knowledge of these 3 has greatly influenced and grown my skills. The philosophy of AMA is simple; full resistance training. Making sure what you learn can be applied to situations where there is no complying partner/opponent, translating directly to real world application. There is no better place to train in the area if you are looking to get learn Brazilian Jiu Jitsu

More jujitsu classes to include a expert level. Cardio kickboxing and an amazing striking program. My 8 daughter trains kids jujitsu there and loves it. It's the only sport that she has stayed with and loves going to class. The instructors are amazing and I have no idea how they get my kid to listen so well. Proud to say my wife is a member of the Main Chicks Jujitsu Team, the largest women's jujitsu team in the Northeast. Over 30 strong and still growing. Just attended an amazing seminar there by Ryan Hall, this season's winner of The Ultimate Fighter. I'm always seeing the areas top jujitsu black belts and professional MMA fighters coming in to train with Andy and Mike Main. The group of people that I have the privilege of training with are the best I could ask for, we all want to see each other improve. Andy, Mike, and all the instructors there have proven to me time and time again that truly care about my development as a martial artist. I feel completely comfortable knowing that I can walk up to any person there to help me. Doesn't matter if I want to practice, drill, or just have a knowledge question. The people that have been training longer will alway take the time to answer my questions or help me find the answer if they are unsure. I started training here just for fun. It has definitely been fun and so so much more. It has become something that my wife, daughter, and I have in common and can bond over. A great stress reliever and confidence booster. The people at pure have become our friends and going there is so much more then just training.

They have also grown an amazing kids and adults isshinryu karate program that started in 2019, and their women's Jiu Jitsu team has grown exponentially as well - making it the biggest woman led, women's only Jiu Jitsu programs in New Jersey. It has turned into one of the most sought after places to train, with multiple members who travel more than 45 minutes to train there. I can't express into words how welcoming the community is to people of all walks of life, all experience levels - whether you are coming alone or with your entire family. I highly recommend checking them out!

Purchased the Groupon package and went in for my first class a few days ago and let me tell you ,…read morethe instructor (Jermel ) kicked my ass ! I was not expecting such an intense workout session but I left there exhausted! We did everything from running laps to push ups. If you're a first timer they ask that you go in early for orientation where you fill out paperwork, pick out your gloves and learn the different punches and kicks. I recommend going for the orientation or you'll be so confused because the class is fast tempo, so I found that the orientation helped a lot. They also provide you with a free bottle of water on your first session. Keep in mind that the location is on a busy street metered parking street in Newark. You will get ticked if you're not careful. Also with the Groupon package you're given 2 weeks to complete 5 classes ( 1st class is free ) which I found to be a little tight... I'll keep y'all updated on how the rest of my sessions go

The classes start off with warm up which is meant to get your heart rate up. You can go at your own pace. Then the real fun starts as you start punching and kicking the bag to your heart's content. Music pumps you on throughout. It has the energized feel of a spin class but folks of all ages are participating. I also like that they keep the place clean. Wiping down equipment 2x a day and airing it out by propping the door open. The bathroom/showers are also maintained and the ladies shower has amenities such as shampoo/conditioner and body wash. I am looking forward to my next class!h
