Most adults can only do so many aerobic classes or run so many solo miles before they start dreaming of something more enjoyable and exciting to do to stay in shape. Our program is a great way to stay in shape that doesn’t become dull or routine because as you get better and learn more, there are always more challenges ahead to keep you inspired and coming back to the school.
Our Martial Arts curriculum is customized for adult men and women. Unlike a children’s program, adult programs focus on high-intensity fitness and real self-defense that applies in today’s world. With adult martial arts, stay active and improve your overall health. Our Jiu-Jitsu and taekwondo programs are the best way to stay fit and lead a more balanced lifestyle.
Our Elite Adult Martial Arts Curriculum
Aside from our world class Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu program, we offer an adults martial arts program with roots in Tae Kwon Do, kickboxing, Boxing, and Muay Thai.
Master JAO has over 35 years of experience with these striking disciplines and has tailored the classes to be much more than a cardio kickboxing workout. The program emphasizes technical striking from all of these styles and is not limited to the structure of just one discipline. The classes focus on precise and technical striking drills, targets, partner drills, sparring, self-defense, and conditioning. Whether doing striking classes alone or as a supplement to Jiu-Jitsu training, you will enjoy the benefits of a stronger and healthier mind and body.

adults love our Martial arts program
Men and women often join for the ability to take care of themselves in any potentially dangerous or uncomfortable situation, even though most of our adults seldom, if ever, get into a fighting situation. They often find themselves, however, in an uncomfortable situation, such as walking to their car late at night or escorting their spouse or friend in a less-than-secure neighborhood. It’s at times like this that martial arts training greatly enhances your self-confidence because of the ability to really take care of yourself or someone you care for when the time arises.
These fitness-based martial arts classes for adults will help you reach your goals. Running and mountain biking are great activities, but if that’s all you do for fitness, you may end up limiting your flexibility. Because these activities are basically “linear” in nature, they don’t challenge you to develop in all fitness areas. That is why most professional athletes cross-train outside of their chosen sport. There is nothing like martial arts training to develop you to your maximum potential, both physically and mentally.

I have been training here for around a month and highly recommend it. The lead instructor is not only extremely knowledgeable, but also kind and genuine. Everyone who trains here has been equally welcoming and nice. They all want to help each other and it shows. I have felt really comfortable from day 1. Only regret is not joining sooner. If you're curious, take a free trial. You have nothing to lose.
Joel was an amazing instructor to my little brother, he was quite shy when he first joined this facility a couple years ago. But Joel made sure to make him feel comfortable and has always been kind and supportive. My brother has taken a break from here for a few months but even then Joel still supports him virtually and is always ready to welcome him back. This is an amazing facility for all kids and adults, and everyone interested should definitely check it out.
I'm usually so lazy and unmotivated that I drop things at the first chance I get but I've been going to this academy for around 2 years. That in itself should be a testament to how good it is. JAO's approach is both casual and welcoming yet structured and methodical. The students are all friendly and willing to help each other learn too. There's plenty of people who just like to show up and casually learn bjj but there are also people who are more competitive so you can really choose the kind of experience you want to have. Overall, I'd highly recommend dropping in for a class if you're interested.
I’ve been with Jao for the past 3 years of my Jiu Jitsu journey. He’s an incredibly knowledgable and technical instructor who puts his heart into teaching. The environment that he has cultivated over the years is super welcoming to everyone and anyone. Feel free to drop in and try a class!
People here are wonderful training partners! the curriculum is very technique-oriented, people are welcoming, and classes are fun and safe. If you are a regular family guy like myself who works a regular job and is just trying to stay fit amidst the busy work-life schedule, or is looking for some stress-relieving activity, try one of the classes here. You'll definitely like it!
The best bjj place in Brooklyn! It’s great for beginners, kids, and adults. The members, staff, and coach are all very welcoming. Great training spot for both those who want to compete and those just looking to get in shape!
If you’re looking to train in martial arts, this is definitely the place to be. Coach Jao is a fantastic teacher who explains everything in great detail while also making it simple and concise. There is also a strong sense of community with lots of positive vibes. Definitely recommend whether you’re a novice or a seasoned vet.
This is one of the best gyms I’ve ever trained at. I can’t tell you how much I appreciate the wonderful atmosphere and friendly environment. They made me feel welcome and part of the team as soon as I walked in. The instruction is top notch and the classes were fun! I can’t recommend this academy enough. Come as you are, this place is truly inclusive and open to all.
