I came here because I had a bad experience at a different BJJ place, and my experience at this dojo as been incredible from day 1. Because of Emerson Souza BJJ, I have met some truly wonderful people I'm happy to call friends and have fallen in love with the art. Respect for the art and thus everyone around you, is just in the air here, it's something special. There is no bullshit, no shady pricing, just honest, and genuine people who love BJJ. If you are new to the sport, drop in and try it out, you will feel welcomed from the moment you walk in. Cheers

Emerson Souza Brazilian Jiu-jitsu Academy has been located in Baldwin for around 14 years and has…read morebecome part if the community. It is a legitimate Brazilian Jiu-jitsu academy. Emerson not only being a 2 time world champion and winner of countless other major tournaments. Is an amazing teacher. He teaches with such attention to details and it shows in his flawless technique. Emerson not being a very large man, must rely upon technique and not power and it shows. The Emerson Souza Brazilian Jiu-jitsu Academy offers a range of classes for adults and children. At all skill levels and ages. Perfect for someone who wants to just learn self defense, get back in shape or eventually compete. We also can't forget the great values which any martial arts instills in everyone. Especially children and Emerson does an amazing job teaching and relating to them as well. Emerson creates a fun, family oriented learning environment for both children and adults. Everyone is like a big family and you can feel it. I definitely recommend checking it out what it's all about and coming down to try a free introduction. Hopefully I'll see you in class.

My wife grew up in judo and jui jitsu hence, here we go... We tried the first trial class and signed up for our first month today. The 10am class was packed, but very well run with a combination of senseis and advanced students. My boys got a good workout and I definitely saw them learning some very valuable technique at class #2. As their father, of course I love them, but they are distracted (one diagnosed). I noticed one of the senseis (in a black gi) sitting and working nearly exclusively with them both to help them respect and integrate with the class during the entire time. I was actively watching and very impressed by this attention to two new students. My boys told me his name is sensei John and he was very helpful to them both. With the many things parents try for our kids, I'm hopeful this one sticks.

My trainer, Cynthia Conde, has given me the confidence and "Game Plan", to lose weight and get back into shape. She is cognizant of my physical limitations, and works through them to accomplish my goals. The people that work for/train at the gym are friendly and non-judgemental, which is an important factor to me. BTW, I found the gym through two friends, who I didn't realize knew each other. I noticed that a work friend had lost weight over the summer. I asked her how and she told me she was training with Cynthia Conde at The Fitness Loft. I asked her why there? She related to me that she noticed that over a period of time her neighbor, who daily walks her dog past her house, was "shrinking". When she told me her name I realized I knew who she was and I too had seen her "transformation". But I thought she had lost her weight with Weight Watchers. Seems she needed something more and Cynthia Conde at The Fitness Loft was the answer. Needless to say I immediately joined! Also TCL holds a class for a local WW group. You don't have to be a gym member, you pay by class.

I really love it and miss it when I can't make it here due to a busy schedule. The owner Cynthia is an amazing motivator and trainer and her bootcamp class is top notch.

The great music is another plus. 10/10 recommend!

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.

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
