For whatever reason, there is a serious lack mma training centers in nyc. Are there any one stop centers to train in bjj, wrestling, mt, and boxing? I know Renzos has mt classes, but they look more like fitness classes than hardcore training sessions. Anyone heard anything about Fighthouse? I’ve heard real good things about Studio X (on 27th street) as far as their bjj training goes.
Matt Serra’s gym is on Long Island. My friend visited his gym last week and said it was pretty good. He got to meet Matt Serra as well, and he said he was a great guy.
If I’m not mistaken, he said there was an octagon inside with a chain link fence (to simulate a real octagon) and the place was pretty packed with students of all levels, from kids to professional fighters.
Here is the website:
there are a few places that I know of.
and there are plenty more too
I wrestle and played judo so I go mostly for that.
I find more places from other people
who also roll.
fighthouse they are on w27th- maybe its the same as the one you mentioned.
