I stopped in one weekend to check it out for myself (typically not one to go somewhere new like this by myself). After speaking with the coaches and hanging with the guys(rolling) I immediately knew this was a great fit for me. Very knowledgeable coaching and the family vibe I received was more than enough to make me feel comfortable, especially with a close combat sport as this. Soon enough I came to call everyone at flow my brothers and sisters. Never knew how much cardio and technique there was in BJJ. Very fun and can be as demanding as you want it to be, from just regular exercise, to tournaments, and even getting in the ring. You will not be disappointed.

The facility is very spacious. There's a main training area and then another smaller room with mats and workout equipment for other classes or free rolling. The place is also extremely clean and the vibe is great. If you've been to a martial arts academy with a bad vibe you will know what I mean, but this place is nothing but positive. The woman at the front desk was very helpful and got us situated with a 10 day trial and my friends with rental gi's. We were then greeted by the head coach John Ingallina who is the embodiment of a professional. He is extremely welcoming, kind, professional, and explained the whole Gracie Combatives system to us. During class he was great at explaining the techniques being taught, and made good work of going to each person and ensuring they did it right. As an out of towner I was completely welcomed by the staff and other class members. I 100% would recommend this, and have done so to my 2 friends who I am very close to.

Once upon a time they cared about the kids and Josh was a hands on, skilled and caring instructor. It was very rare that Todd the owner would ever stop in. Maybe he couldn't be bothered? Who knows. It sure felt like he couldn't be bothered. Josh made that place tolerable. Again, it once felt half way decent, until Josh left. That was a huge loss.

As a 45 year Professional Martial Arts Instructor, writer, speaker and 24 year Veteran Teacher at…read morean Ivy League University, I give Syracuse Martial Arts Academy a Five Star rating. Martial Arts isn't about violence, power, and control over others. Rather, it is about using violence as a very last response, having the Personal Power to better ourselves and learning how to control our body and our mind! I have been affiliated with SMAA for nearly 20 years and I can attest first hand that I have witnessed the highest levels of courtesy, respect for others and a sincere interest in their students, clients and visitors rare in our society today. Regardless of the day, each and every time I enter the doors at Syracuse Martial Arts, I am greeted with smiles and warmth. The program at SMAA reflects this demeanor at the highest level as well. I have taught well over 20 Workshops at the school and the skills, attitude and energy is always consistently solid! For anyone that may say negative things about SMAA, I can only shake my head and think of what my teacher, the Top Student Of Bruce Lee and the Leading Authority on Martial Arts in the World today once said to me..."They only tackle the MAN with the ball. If you weren't worthy of criticism or threatening, you would be ignored."

My husband and I were genuinely disappointed by our experience with this dojo before we ever had…read morethe chance to step through the door. We were visiting Syracuse for one week, and my husband--a seasoned black belt in two different karate styles--called ahead simply to ask if he could attend a few drop-in classes during our stay. His goal wasn't to "shop around" for a new school. Like many dedicated martial artists, he wanted to continue his training while traveling, train respectfully, and perhaps learn something new from another instructor. The owner's response was shocking. He told us that it would not be okay because he was only interested in committed students and that someone coming in for a week would just be "fooling around" in class and taking time away from his regular students. He said it wasn't something he wanted to get involved with. That response goes against everything we believe the martial arts are supposed to represent. Respect, humility, camaraderie, and the willingness to share knowledge with fellow martial artists are foundational values within the martial arts. Experienced practitioners visiting other dojos has long been a respected tradition when done with courtesy and permission. Instead of welcoming a fellow black belt who reached out respectfully beforehand, my husband was treated as though he would be a burden. If this is how prospective visitors and fellow martial artists are treated, it's worth considering what kind of culture exists within this dojo. A dojo should be a place where respect is freely given to those who show it. Unfortunately, we found the attitude to be exclusionary, dismissive, and contrary to the spirit of martial arts. We left with the impression that this dojo values exclusivity over community. If you're looking for an instructor who embodies the traditional values of honor, respect, and mutual learning, our experience suggests you may want to look elsewhere.

After recently moving to the Oswego area, I was having great difficulty finding morning care for both my 10-year old son and my 17-year old son with autism. The peace of mind that I now have knowing that my boys are safe and well cared for is just priceless. Even the occasional half-day, early dismissal, or delayed start to school can be accommodated with ease by the staff. My youngest just began taking after school Taekwondo classes, and is really benefitting from the physical activity, positive interactions with his peers and instructors, and the character education embedded within the martial arts lessons. As a part of the community, they also work with local schools and sponsor special activities such as a recent evening focused on preventing bullying.
