I was walking along St Marks when I saw this beautiful sign for Jiu Jitsu, I decided to venture in, and what I found was an amazing academy run by a local family that has been in business for 20 years. The gym has top notch instruction, a warm atmosphere, and even a back room for lifting. Would recommend to anyone wanting to start their grappling journey!
