I highly recommend this BJJ gym. From the moment I walked in, I felt a warm welcome from the community. Everyone is friendly and genuinely supportive of one another. The coaches are not only passionate but also deeply knowledgeable, always providing clear, thorough explanations of techniques. My experience here has consistently been a 10/10.

I was in search of a gym with a welcoming atmosphere, knowledgeable instructors, and friendly to my work schedule. It was super easy to set up my free trial through their website and I was hooked after my first class(thanks Luke)! They offer a robust Muay Thai and jiujitsu program with expert coaches. I particularly enjoy the seminars and guest instructors that are hosted at the gym. I’m able to enjoy morning classes before work and mix in evening sessions as well. Thank you Kings Forest Hills for bringing world class training into our awesome neighborhood!

As a newbie with zero experience what so ever, i was SUPER intimidated walking into this gym. Especially, it being my very first jiu jitsu class..but everyone there was so welcoming and accommodating. They truly made me feel like i belonged there, even though i knew nothing and was clueless lol they gently guided me through class. The space itself is really clean. There’s showers available for use for after class. (Would rec bringing your own towels) Also, the water fountain is a huge plus! The Coaches are amazing and very knowledgeable at what they do. Extremely easy to approach and genuinely the chillest people you’ll ever meet. By the end of the first class, i already knew i had to sign up! I’m now a month in and i can’t stop going back!!! ~feels like second family~ if i could, I’d rate it 11.5/10!!

Kings combat is a fantastic place for BJJ. The instructor is excellent—knowledgeable, patient, and really supportive. The people who train here are friendly and welcoming, which makes the environment even better. Highly recommend! --- Want me to make it sound a bit more casual (like something a student would naturally post) or keep it polished and professional?

Awesome people, clean studio, very welcoming for all skill levels. Went here with zero experience and a year later, it’s what I look forward to every week. The coaches are great at teaching and pushing you to perfecting your craft. The team is incredibly helpful. Classes are at good times too so if you would full time, there’s a schedule for you. Take the leap, Sign up for your intro class and meet the team!
