“The best place for martial arts training.
Thanks Sensei Yuri you're amazing“

“Great taekwondo spot, I feel like bringing my child has helped him be more physically active and listen better to instruction, great staff and value“

“Teacher and staff are excellent! My son has so much fun and is learning how to stick up for himself in the process.

10/10 would recommend if you’re considering karate for your little one!“

“We love this place and our son feels so safe. They are so understanding of him and make accommodations when needed. I tell everyone about them and how they meet him at his level. It was hard finding someone who would help especially with his Autism.“

“I absolutely love coming to this school. I came here 6 years ago with the goal of wanting to learn self-defense with absolutely no prior athletic experience. I was welcomed with open arms by the staff and students, who were so kind and patient while working with me. I’m so happy I stayed and continue to practice my skills. The community here feels like family and I have made long lasting friendships here. If you are an adult who needs to find a healthy “third space” Renzo Gracie Rockland is the place to be!
Also, the owners, Omar and Arelis Jimenez are amazing people. They really care for all their students and want to ensure everyone feels comfortable and safe in the environment. Safety is very important in this school.“

“Rigoro gym is truly the best. The instructors are all phenomenal and beyond helpful. This gym wants you to be successful. There is a great community of people, I have made some good friends along the way. Such a great experience! If anyone is looking for a good gym this would be the one!!!“

“This is the best gym I've ever been a part of, and I've trained in martial arts for years. The staff is incredible and my son has gained a ton of confidence from being here.“

“I cannot say enough wonderful things about NY United BJJ. From the moment we walked in, we felt welcomed, supported, and part of a community that truly cares. The instructors are not only highly skilled in Jiu-Jitsu and wrestling, but also deeply compassionate and patient, creating an environment where every child, regardless of ability, can thrive.

What makes this facility truly special is its commitment to inclusivity. My son is on the spectrum and the instructors, (all fathers themselves), have been nothing short of amazing. The instructors understand that every child learns differently and tailor their approach to build confidence, discipline, and resilience at a pace that suits each individual. Watching my child gain strength, focus, and self-confidence has been the most rewarding and I'm forever grateful to Khyl, Marty and Al for helping my son develop these attributes.

Beyond the skills learned on the mat, NY United BJJ teaches invaluable life lessons of respect, perseverance, and gratitude. It’s a place where kids feel seen, encouraged, and celebrated for who they are. If you’re looking for a Jiu-Jitsu school that nurtures both skill and heart, this is the place to be.“

“Highly recommend this place for all parents who want their children to gain self confidence, discipline overall respect for others…

Love it….“

“My Daughter loves this place. I can't speak highly enough of the staff who make it both educational and very fun for all the kids. ??“

“Tiger Schulman’s in Ramsey is the best, top notch Jiu Jitsu and kickboxing classes for kids!! We have both our kids (ages 9 and 5) enrolled for over 2 years and we have nothing but great things to say!! Ryan and Andrew are both amazing instructors and Sensei Rapoport runs a great program. Highly highly recommend!!“

“If you're thinking about taekwondo for your child, do it here. Master Joe is excellent with kids of all types; he helped bring out my quiet child's voice, and helped my bold child learn focus. They are both showing a greater understanding of the martial arts values like humility and perseverance, at home too. The lessons they learn here (physical and emotional) have literally helped me parent them through some kid-sized life difficulties! It’s clear Master Joe truly cares about each student. He is even a thoughtful teacher to the older kids / student teachers he is developing along the way.“

“I have been involved in the martial arts for 30 years and Mr. Clifford is one of the best teachers I have had the pleasure to learn from. His depth of martial arts knowledge and his teaching methodology are incredible. Highly recommended!“

“Instructed Wilkins Abreu is an amazing teacher. The passion and dedication that he has for he’s students is impeccable . Thank you for your patience and understanding Maximus . Highly recommended .“

“Success Martial Arts is a great activity and environment for children. The instructors are very patient and work well with the children. It offers a tremendous confidence and morale booster while also providing structure outside of the home and school environment; that is constructive and healthy.“

“Sir Charles is a dedicated, passionate, knowledgeable and patient mentor, trainer and friend. For those serious about training well and hard this is the best place in rockland.“

“Alan is a excellent professor. He taught me how to safely detain students with his art. He made my entry into brazil jiu jitsu easy. Thanks Alan.“

“A Truly Exceptional Karate School — For Both Kids and Adults

Mac Albus Shukokai Karate is everything you could hope for in a martial arts school and more. They are absolutely incredible with both kids and adults. Every single black belt in the school is willing to share their knowledge, support newer students, and help lower belts develop real skill and confidence. You can feel that each instructor carries forward the experience, discipline, and spirit passed down by Shihan Mac Albus himself.

Their love and dedication to the karate community that Shihan Mac has built is on display every single day.

As an adult returning to the sport after nearly 30 years, I’ll admit—I was intimidated walking into an adult class full of black belts. But that feeling disappeared after my very first class. The black belts were welcoming, patient, incredibly knowledgeable, and knew exactly how to mentor someone restarting their martial arts journey. It was the perfect environment to grow without feeling judged.

I’ve also seen this same level of care in how my son has been treated. In the two years he’s been attending, his confidence and skills have grown tremendously. The school doesn’t just teach karate—they teach leadership. Through their Jr. Instructor program, opportunities to demonstrate techniques early on, and a culture where higher belts are encouraged to help lower belts, the kids learn responsibility, humility, and how to support others.

This is more than a dojo. It’s a family, a community, and a place where students of all ages can thrive. Mac Albus Shukokai Karate is simply outstanding, and I cannot recommend it highly enough.“

“We as members are united in mutual friendship. Sensei Arny is the best. A combination of a great taekwondo teacher, a spiritual leader, a sensitive, and very funny person. My two sons really developed as athletes and as good people at the workout place. And they really enjoyed coming there multiple times each week.“

“My son has been going to J Y Moon Taekwondo and he did their afterschool in summer camp although he’s outgrown after school in summer camp. He really had a good time and formed a good community there. Grand Master is an excellent instructor and a good community overall and they get good exercise and lessons.“
