I had come to Jamestown on a business trip and decided to check out the local academy because I…read morelove training whenever I can. I came in during the middle of the class and one of the professors greeted me warmly and encouraged me to get in on the class! I was really impressed with the class and the great instruction. In a small town, they really created a strong atmosphere for learning and community. The instructors were very clear on the details and went around and made sure we were executing them correctly, which is definitely not always easy to do with a large class. Even their fundamental classes had great details that a seasoned grappler can benefit from! Lastly, the sparring was great. People were friendly, competent, and competitive! In my rolls, I felt safe with my training partners and didn't feel anyone was trying to win at all costs. I highly recommend this place for all people and will be back if I'm ever in the area.

One of the top things on my list of goals for 2017 was to finally begin some mixed martial arts…read moretraining, specifically - Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and Muay Thai. After moving to Warren, PA for work in January, I began my search for a place to train. Fortunately, about 30 minutes north of me in Jamestown, NY, I found Kinetix Combat Sports & Fitness. Kinetix offers BJJ and Muay Thai for both adults and youth - as well as a Women's Kickboxing class. For Jiu Jitsu - all of the instructors have their Black or Brown belts through the BJJ Revolution Team under Julio "Foca" Fernandez. For Muay Thai - all instructors are certified through the Thai Boxing Association of USA. For a beginner like myself - the smaller class sizes are a huge advantage, as I am able to gain more personal feedback and instruction during regular classes. Every partner or instructor I have ever rolled with or drilled with has been humble and patient with me as I try to improve my skills. After a few classes and getting to know the familiar faces, Kinetix starts to feel like family. Get in touch with Kinetix, come in for a class, and see what you've been missing out on. See you on the mat.

I've been taking Kundalini Yoga from Jen since I arrived here in Jamestown. I have benefitted…read moregreatly - physically and spiritually. I feel more balanced, as I know that the combination of the exercises, gong baths, and meditation is a full-circle healing and an amazing method for centering and grounding. At first I was going once a week, because it is a "class", but now, I feel like the practices are more integrated into my state of presence - my state of being. I always look forward to class and am now doing some of the practices at home. I think it is wonderful that Jen has brought this teaching and practice to Jamestown!
