Oh where do I begin? Everyone at the facility is so enthusiastic, encouraging, and educated in their practice. They are so inviting and accommodating to everyone, no matter your skill level or your length of time spent with their team. The women empowered program is exactly that, EMPOWERING! I am so grateful to have a safe place where I can explore these practices that are life changing and to arm myself with knowledge of how to protect myself through the help of Ronin Athletics! No matter your age/ability level I truly encourage you to visit this center and explore their programs, you will not regret it!!! (FYI I started training with Ronin Athletics back in 2019, took a break during the pandemic, but couldn’t wait to get back on the mats with them, now I’m on my way to my pink belt *fingers crossed* - I truly have nothing negative to say, they are awesome in every way!)

What can I say this academy is a true gem in the heart of NYC. The only Gracie University CTC in the big apple and I’ve been so grateful to have found this academy. The level of instruction and attention to detail that the team there …

Travelled from out of town to train with the only Gracie University Certified Training Center. What I like most about training at a CTC, is the way the classes are broken down and structured so that it doesn’t matter if it’s your first class or 100th class, you’re going to take something away from it leave feeling more confident.The staff is very knowledgeable and professional. The studio is clean and well organized. Matts were cleaned between classes.I highly recommend Ronan Athletics to anyone looking for a place to train. They prove that Jiu Jitsu is for everyone.Look forward to my next trip to NYC.

I live in NYC and wanted to improve on my self defense, looked for Gracie Jiu Jitsu style and found Ronin Athletics, tried them ou and the way they teach is very professional, respectful and with patience. Its great training with them where I go 4 to 5 times per week. By Shalom

Been training here for over a month now and absolutely love the place, coaches and overall environment! 100% would recommend to anyone looking for a mix martial arts gym, or even just looking to learn self defense in a friendly environment. I go to both the kickboxing and the jiu jitsu classes. Perfect for beginners and more advanced people.

Been training Jiu Jitsu here for about 6 months now & super lucky I chose this place. I did some research before joining & found Manhattan to have A LOT of world class schools ( including Ronin). What made me choose this academy isn't just the friendly atmosphere & the champion instructor, which many other schools had, but from my first trial lesson until today, you get a sense the sole focus of this school is in the development of their students-they make it about ME. First-their curriculum is SOLID. Every class I attend I'm prepared for before hand, because they're posted a month in advance& I have online access to the lesson so I can review before & after. The lesson's are structured & cohesive where they build upon one another. Because the lessons are planned out, it changes the dynamic of the training session. My partners automatically work with me on learning the technique of the day, rather than grind me down to get a win. It's almost like high school lab where you're working with one another to refine your knowledge. Don't get me wrong it's still physically & mentally challenging-but it's assuring to know that I'm retaining this stuff after every class I attend. These guys are bigger part of a network called Gracie University & Ronin is the NYC official training center. It's really self-evident that they designed the program to convey Jiu Jitsu in the most efficient & injury free way. If you're shopping around, I'd suggest you at least take a trial lesson so you can compare their teaching methodology to the other gyms you're considering. All-in-all, Jiu Jitsu is AMAZING so even if you don't join Ronin, it's definitely something everyone should practice. Hope this helps.

It’s been an awesome experience learning Jiu Jitsu here at Ronin Athletics! It's a very welcoming and positive atmosphere and the instructors are top notch! They are insightful, have great attention to detail, give everyone great feedback, are very patient with the students & leave no stone unturned when discussing the techniques and all the intricacies within them. There are a lot of great people from all different walks of life learning Jiu Jitsu here, and with all the Jiu Jitsu options out here in the New York City area, I've got to give myself a huge pat on the back for joining Ronin Athletics! Definitely made the right choice!

Yes, the reviews are real. This is a great place.Before I found my way to Ronin I took introductory BJJ classes at two other places that were both close to where I live in Manhattan. Although I've studied standing Martial Arts for years I was new to BJJ and at these places, I was thrown into rolling in the first class before I even knew the most simple basics. I could have used my strength and bigger size to muscle through the opponents I faced but that wasn't why I wanted to learn BJJ, I wanted to learn techniques I could use on opponents who might be bigger and stronger than me. And unfortunately, that method of teaching seems to be all too common at BJJ schools. Luckily I was familiar with Gracie University, had watched their videos' and looked into their curriculum and was thrilled when I found out they have a Certified Training Center in NYC. So my next stop was 39th and Madison to take a Gracie Combatives trial class at Ronin Athletics.All I can say is Ronin Athletics exceeded my expectation, so much so that I joined right away. The instructors, Christian and Bart are not only excellent teachers but are also warm, and welcoming. The curriculum is top-notch, this is Gracie Jiu Jitsu as it was taught when they first came to the US, which is self defense oriented (read Worth Defending by Richard Bressler, the Gracie families first US student in 1979.) You know exactly what you're going to learn before each class and you can review the Instructional videos produced by, and starring Ryron and Rener Gracie, both before and after the class. There's nowhere else you'll find a curriculum as well thought out as this, that provides you with all the tools you need to succeed at being the best you can be in a positive and welcoming environment.So if you want to train in a great environment, with great people, I highly recommend you check out Ronin Athletics.

Gracie Jiu-Jitsu CTC in New York City is the place to train for any age or gender. I completed Combatives at their old location in 2019. I left NYC shortly after and still envy the time I spent there.If you are 30+ and want to meet new people, get a good workout in, and learn some self-defense and be able to go to work in the morning then this is the place for you. You don't have to be flexible or strong or athletic to thrive here.If you are younger and looking to compete then you can still do that at Ronin Athletics without concern of getting injured often. You can still learn great technique, and the coaches are more than willing to spend extra time with those that live Jiu-Jitsu. I honestly think some of the coaches would love helping students that wants to compete.I recently visited their new location and the place is beautiful. This is one of the cleanest "sports facilities" I have ever been in. They even cleaned the mats in-between some classes, which is rarely done at other places, if at all. The instructors are very detailed and want to help their students learn. Everyone in the class (Combatives and Master Cycle) is super friendly and not looking to "kill" each other (when rolling in master cycle).In my opinion, even other CTCs have a hard time competing with Ronin Athletics.

Ronin Athletics provides excellent instruction and recognizes the individual progress of each of the students who participate in the Gracie Combatives program. I would highly recommend this facility to anyone who would desire to learn. The facility is also very importantly family friendly. Programs for men, women, and children are available. Much appreciation to Head Instructor Christian Montes and his staff. Thank You!
