This my 2 cents about Lotus BJJ Club. This is the best place for NYC kids to train bjj as my 4 year old attending it. Plenty of toddler kids starting 3 years old and up. Kids sparring according to their age/weight/height so its pretty fair. Abundance of toddler girls is pretty surprising. Most of the bjj gyms are pretty much same in general terms but Lotus Club is willing to work with you according to your needs. Cant wait for new bigger and convenient location to open up!!! Highly recommend!

Probably the best place in all of NYC to train Jiu Jitsu, I travel all the way in from Manhattan to go to Lotus. It’s not only some of the highest level training and instructor you can find but Professor Santos and his team are some of the most approachable and inviting people you can find. A great place for all genders, ages and races, really inclusive and inviting.

I've trained in many gyms around the globe and Gentle Art Studio is a world-class quality establishment. Let me emphasise this place is CLEAN to the highest standard. I am a complete beginner in BJJ but everyone is so supportive I am able to enjoy every single class. Definitely worth checking out.

I've spend way too many hours to even count in this school and every single time I've been treated like family. Everyone is friendly, respectful and willing to offer help when stuck with a certain technique you haven't quite mastered. They also offer seminars which are worth the money every time. The school is also cleaned daily so no worries about any type of funk .
