You want a place that can push you in the best way possible? You want a place that has no ego but everyone pushes each other to better themselves in every way whether it’s to compete, get in shape, challenge yourself to do something different? Somewhere you call a second home? A place that treats you like family? Then congratulations you’ve found it. Everything you’d need to give you the tools to be successful is right here. The only excuse for you not to utilize the opportunity and make something of it is yourself. An the only person that would be missing out is YOU. Such a great environment to grow from the kids and youth to Adults. No judgement, no ego, just martial arts.

Great place for beginners and more to come and learn every facet of self defense, or just get in good shape. They even have a cross fit gym downstairs if you want to sign up for that too, the only place I’ve been able to get back into awesome shape and have constantly different workouts and brain stimulation to keep me wanting to come back every day.

I have since moved to Austin, Texas, but I still try to come here whenever I get a chance. I can’t say enough good things about this place. If you really want to experience world class mix martial arts, fromBrazilian Jiu jitsu to Muay Thai, this place offers it for you and even your kids. I have personally seen MMA fights from this gym and the results speak for themselves.I’m so glad I came here years ago to take them up on their membership trial. Learning the fundamental offense and defense is something that you wish may never use, but very glad to know you can use it.

Been going for about six months... and it’s been one of the best decisions i ever made. Everyone is extremely friendly and welcoming and open to teach. I’ve learned so much in the short time I’ve been attending and i look forward to continue my training at Animals MMA.

I've relocated many times over the last decade and finding a solid place to train is always important to me so after moving to Yonkers from Long Island I signed up for Animals (Dec 2018). At Animals there is a great body of students ranging all levels of Jiu Jitsu and body types. There are also a lot of fighters/competitors out of Animals which always makes for some great training.Since I have a baby at home finding a gym with AM classes was also important so I can sneak in some Jiu Jitsu before the baby's up haha. When I first signed up, there was only one 6am class, within 3 months of joining they added another 6am, and then another. They offer a great schedule of classes and as long as people are willing to train they are very open to adding classes to meet that demand.Instructors and technique are top notch with everything from your traditional jiu jitsu to modern techniques. Also a lot of guest instructors and weekend seminars to keep things fresh.Looking forward to signing my son up in the future!

Overall a great place to train. Tons of mat space, knowledgeable staff, and great people all around. Sam and Timmy were always willing to take extra time to help out with technique after class. Hands down the best gym in the area for a super reasonable monthly rate.
