I was a past member of Hoboken Jiu Jitsu in 2013 and have since returned later in 2019, I can say…read moreevery class is a challenge and feels like competition training. Though the physical is always an obstacle you will feel great afterwards, your mood will elevate, body will transform and you will learn (in my opinion) the most efficient form of self-defense. Additionally, owner and instructor Rich Van Houten is a truly welcoming individual, always encouraging members to test their mettle and be their very best. Head-instructor of HJJ is Dan Covel; Dan's instruction is solid and really melds both technique and fundamental concepts in order for his students to grasp what is being explained. Live training is every class and it always starts from the feet; to Dan's point the battle always starts there first. Instructor "Munch" has a keen eye for fundamentals and position specific drilling scenarios. If you have an interest in the sport and are in the area (or not) Hoboken Jiu Jitsu is most definitely worth checking out.

Since moving into the NYC tri-state area, I never really had a place to pick up my boxing, Muay…read moreThai and MMA training. There were lots of different smaller studios for jujitsu and MMA but I also wanted a place I could work out freely and cross train. Honestly, I was a little concerned about what kind of atmosphere the UFC brand would have and wasn't sure it was for me. But much to my surprise, I was completely wrong. Upon my first time entering the gym, I was greeted warmly by other gym members and the manager at the front desk. Super cutie but you could tell she had that look in her eyes that she trained here too and could throw a punch or beat me up lol. So I refrained from hitting on her then and was shown around the facilities. Amanda (I got her name at least) told me about all the amazing classes and training programs they had going on. I was even offered to come and take a free class to see how I liked it. Best part about this was how genuine she was. Everyone knows how uncomfortable it is to get hit with the sales pitch and told to buy now. I never got that from her at all. She believed in the brand and quality of the gym and let that speak for itself. And like I said earlier, wasn't just a pretty face to boost sales. She lived by the brand herself. Being a bit rusty and out of practice, I decided to take a Muay Thai class. I was also a bit skeptical because I had gone other places where they taught "kickboxing" and it was just basically a cardio class with no real technique or skills taught or sharpened. I believe the instructors name was Chris. Let's just say the warm-up itself was enough cardio for me and put other full classes to shame. I felt like I was going to throw up, so I knew at that moment that I was in the right place. ;) After the warm ups, we went straight into working on our kicks, push kicks, elbow strikes, skill and tech drills and full combos. The class functioned like a well oiled machine and it felt FANTASTIC. Veterans helped newbies and there was zero judgement. Chris went around and polished every student, adjusting them and giving them tips. I was hooked. My body definitely felt it the next day but I couldn't wait to sign up for the gym and get back in there. This gym has amazing instructors, staff that actually cares about you and a small town family vibe that you just can't find anywhere else. They even hold boxing matches and other local events at the gym where not just members can attend, but the entire community. I mean I have stopped by numerous times not even to work out but to just talk to people and of course see the gym's mascot, Rylee, an adorable English bulldog that will just melt your heart. And come to find out, that's a very common thing. Members will just drop in anytime they walk past because its not just about the gym but the people in it. My only regret is that I did not find out about this place sooner!

Visited UFC Gym with my friend for a kickboxing class. Upon entering I was greeted by a nice lady…read more She had us scan a QR code and fill out a form and sign a waiver. She showed us around the gym. It was a bit small compared to others but they had all the workout equipment and space needed to do what you needed to do. They have a bunch of other type of classes like jiu jitsu, boxing, muay thai, and yoga. We began classes at the exact time it was supposed to start. I liked the music that was playing. It made you really hyped and ready to get started. The warm-up was REALLY intense for a beginner class. I would have liked if it was a bit more step by step since it was entirely new to me. We were then shown some basic movements for boxing and that was more repeated to grasp and we hit the punching bags. I never sweated so much! Be ready to get a major workout! When leaving we were able to grab free food samples from Made Meals Co! They deliver meals that are made with local and organic ingredients. I had grilled chicken, broccoli, and sweet potatoes. Definitely helped restore my energy! Overall I liked the experience but I definitely think I needed a more basic and step by step class to ease my way in.

This place rocks. I…read moreemailed them to ask if my boyfriend can take a class to see if this is a gym he would be interested in joining as he is a MASSIVE INSANE CRAYCRAY UFC fan. It would be my birthday gift to him. They emailed me back and said he AND I can take a class for free and decide if we like it. The coach / manager Jeffery was a doll. He showed us around and introduced us to some important peeps who fought in the UFC. Really awesome, my boyfriend was totally in his element. The gym is reasonably sized and even has an apartment upstairs where members can just hang out and watch TV. It honestly felt like I was in the Real World UFC. So I took the class too. I was the only girl. And I think I definitely kicked some a$$! Woo Hoo. Everyone was so nice and forthcoming. Nobody was creeping on me for being the only fah-male in the room. The other thing is, some of these guys are pros but were helping out the beginners like it aint no thang. Really awesome "bro-ski" vibe. I felt like one of the boys. Jason, the boyfriend, ended up signing up to the gym because he enjoyed it so much. Really cool experience for his birthday. Thanks EDGE for an awesome Friday night!

Since my son has joined, his confidence and selfesteem has gone up, his fitness and skills have also increased. He's made new friends and has a new love and respect for the sport and culture.

I've been a member since 2021, and I keep going back. Partly because I've already been boxing for…read more12 years and have a bunch of semi-discipline, (lol) but I've also enjoyed learning NEW things, and interacting with the cool trainers. Primarily FFKK caters to the kids, teaching them karate and having summer programs, after-school programs, plus some classes where the parents and kids train together. But four days a week at 7:30pm the adults attend kickboxing/muy thai classes for an hour. They also sell intro gloves, leg gear, head gear and shirts, hoodies and a duffel to put it all in. They strictly prefer that all wear the shirts when they train. The black-belt trainer, Jerry is a great guy, patient, kind, able to train all levels at once. He makes sure your form is good, makes sure folks don't get hurt, and is very flexible with your decision to spar when you get to a certain level. There are sessions just for testing, and folks who perform what they've learned get a belt. Another black-belt trainer there, X, is a good guy too. He co-trains with Jerry and always puts an effort in and boosts up folk's confidence when they feel they aren't quite getting the drills. He challenges folks without pushing too hard beyond the scope of what they are capable of, and is genuinely respectful of everyone at all levels. Part of what keeps me going back is training with them, and actually learning to kickbox, not just do HIIT training for a Hot Gurl Summer. They respect the sport, and they help you to enjoy training and learning. I wasn't good at holding mitts or pads when I'm paired up, because I never had to in boxing. When we do drills we pair up and learn from each other. Folks learn how a punch or kick feels so they know at what speed or force to do it themselves. Yet no one walks out of there looking to fight anyone. They just feel they've learned enough to protect themselves and avoid combat confrontation. And they make new friends. The place is clean, bright, organized, not always cool, but you're gonna sweat hard anyway, so ventilation and a decent temperature is good enough. The heavy bags are quality, the pads well kept, and there are snacks and beverages should you need em. Seating at the front is great for anyone having to wait for you, or to put your gear or shoes, although they do have cubbies for that too. There always seems to be package deal pricing, and the prices are reasonable. Check em out and then go kick something.

This place and its classes are what is keeping me going. It gave me a sense of purpose and…read moresomething to look forward to. The workouts are great, I feel like I'm really learning here. The classes are 45 minutes (strictly while the summer camp is also happening, but once the kids are gone, we're allowed up to 15 extra minutes to get a quick workout in). I personally attend the morning sessions as I have to work during the evening ones. After each class, I leave feeling pump and ready to face the day. I have been recommending this place to everyone, and if not for you, then I recommend your kids doing karate here. This is simply a place you need in your life and I hope that everyone gets to experience it at some point in their lives.
