American Killer Bees NYC (now 5 Boro Fighthaus)

The best sport experience in my life. Those people really threat you like family, but at the same time a lot of guys really competitive and you for sure gonna find real martial arts spirit in there

I’ve been training at 5boro Fighthaus for 3 years now and it’s been and continues to be a great experience. Not only are all the instructors knowledgeable and passionate about Jiujitsu and MMA, but they also care deeply for their students. Everyone who decides to become part of the organization gets treated with respect no matter your level of experience or lack there of. We support each other inside and outside of the gym. Would definitely recommend if you’re looking for a place where you are treated like family.

I visited AKB NYC (5 Boro Fighthaus) twice now as an out of state visitor who trains under another AKB gym in my home state. The first time was early 2023, and the most recent time in March of 2024. Each time I was met with hospitality and a good time. I can't say enough good things about the people and comradery had at this gym. Anytime I am in NYC, I shall be visiting this gym each time. Posted is a picture from my first visit (I don't have one from the second visit).

Knowledgeable and great instructors who care about your progress in the martial art. Consistently providing tips on how to improve and encouragement when needed. Definitely recommend coming by for a trial.

5boro has been a second home to me. Ive never taken ANY fighting classes as a kid. I am not the most aggressive or nor was I the most athletic. I think the VERY MOST IMPORTANT thing in this gym was how they accommodate you. It was very important for me to feel comfortable enough to learn how to fight while being physical with someone. Both Instructors and students are EXTREMELY patient. If it wasnt for their patience and their consistent effort to help me feel comfortable than i wouldnt have survived in a martial arts gym. I got very lucky with this gym, I highly recommend checking it out and giving it a chance. I, as a person whos never trained to fight can understand how one will feel intimidated but can honestly say its not only been the best experience but the most healthiest. Happily from 240lb to 170lb; 5boro has helped me lose the weight through their courses. From coach Luis Martinez, Elkin Ordenana (Brazilian Jiu Jitsu) to Mario Ramirez and Erik Vincente (Muay Thai); All coaches are fully involved. 5boro has been an extremely life changing experience. Definitely worth the trial classes and sticking through it.
