I've trained in gyms Across the globe and this is one of the few places i can confidently say it has it all. From world class instruction and intense training, to esthetically beautiful facilities and a great welcoming environment, Truly a place where the only thing you can do is progress and enjoy the process. The Coaches are great and amazing human beings who are dedicated to help their students grow in Martial Arts and achieve their individual goals.

I have been coming here since December for my 3 children ages 9 , 7 , 4 - 2 boys and the last one girl! They are learning so much from the coaches and I finally found something they actually love! They are being challenged in every single class - I take them 3 times a week. I appreciate all the coaches there especially coach Omar as he helped me through out the process of signing them up which was a breeze.

Glory Martial Arts Center in Staten Island is honestly one of the best places you can train Jiu Jitsu. The room is filled with high achievers and people who push you to get better, but the vibe is still super welcoming no matter your level or goals. Whether you’re training for competition or just trying to escape the stress of adult life for an hour, this is the spot. Coach Omar’s approach is incredibly scientific — you don’t just learn a move, you actually understand why it works. He breaks down body positioning, mechanics, and what happens if you do something differently. It makes improving feel natural and logical. If you’re thinking about trying Jiu Jitsu or looking for a new gym, definitely check this place out.
