I started training jujitsu here around two years ago with no prior experience, and it has been one of the best decisions of my life. This is a truly amazing environment—it's incredibly welcoming, and everyone looks out for each other. The respect here is unmatched, with higher belts consistently helping the lower belts improve. Shihan Gene Dunn is an amazing instructor. Learning from him has been an incredible experience and I’m very grateful to have been a part of his school.

My son has been coming here for a year now and he loved it so much he asked his big sister to join as well. Now they both come here and they LOVE IT! I recommend it to all parents.

Consistent joy! Being consistent in this art helps me see and feel the joy in the world. I am constantly blessed and surrounded by some of the best people on this earth and the community that arises at the dojo is so special, I really can’t put it into words. Shihan Dunn has created a once in a generation experience of learning and growing and culture based on tradition, respect and love. There is a little rectangle building in south Brooklyn that is changing the world and making it a better place!

I’ve attended kickboxing and jujitsu classes at Gene Dunn’s for a little over two months now and my only regret is that I didn’t join sooner! A growing number of my friends began attending this dojo over the last year and eventually persuaded me to join. I was hesitant at first because I never had any experience with the martial arts, nor heard of Jujitsu, but the idea of being trained in self-defense whilst fine tuning body control and building confidence in my capabilities drew me in. The staff members have been so welcoming and instructive, skillfully balancing a positive and exciting training environment while maintaining a high standard of discipline for all students of all ages. I highly recommend beginning your martial arts journey with the staff and students at Gene Dunn’s and I look forward to growing with them! See you on the mat!
