Brooklyn Martial Arts

They keep charging my card even after I canceled my membership and refer me to a different number to call. Do not sign this contract. It’s a rip off

Beautiful facility. Conveniently located downtown Brooklyn. Excellent and world class instruction from Professor Peter Lawson. If you’re interested in training Brazilian jiu-​jitsu I highly recommend checking out Brooklyn Martial Arts.

Love love love this place! I’ve tried several different MMA gyms here and there over the years but I have never liked one enough to sign up. Well, I can now say that my search is finally over! I like that the facility is clean and well maintained. I also appreciate that there is a locker room, even if it is a little small, that is neat and clean. Most importantly the class are great! I only take thd kickboxing classes right now so that’s all I can comment on, but the sessions are fantastic workouts, and I feel very accomplished at the end. They’re not those aerobic kick boxing classes either– they use heavy bags and they work us hard! Each instructor has his own style but I like that every class isn’t the same bc it keeps me on my toes. Last but not least, I don’t know what it is about this place but it’s just a really positive environment. I have yet to meet a student who wasn’t friendly, which is great for someone like me who was a little scared to start at a new place with only a little experience. I genuinely look forward to the sessions. Try this place out and you will not be disappointed.

Scam :(beware of the year contract that you have to sign, that they do not tell you about. They give very good workouts but they just throw fees at you for everything. Also if you want to cancel your contract there is a $ 250 fee! ! I called to cancel my membership but apparently it did not go through and money added up for a couple months! They are just very dishonest. Would not recommend this for anyone.

Kick Boxing Happiness!
I don’t know what old Stephanie is talking about? This place rocks. I am a student of Ralph Gracie in Cali and this school is run by his brother’s team Renzo Gracie. I travel a lot with my work and this time i stop to check this place out. What can I say?!? Loved it. Good training, clean spot and everyone was cool.
Being an avid Unilocaler I asked about the kickboxing post by Stephanie S. Turns out its a fake. Figures she has 3 reviews 2 5stars and a 1 star.
Check this place out for yourself.

KICKBOXING SADNESS :(
Let’s start off by saying that Devon and Heather Hardy (she just won the golden gloves this year) are no longer at location teaching. They were the best thing that place offered. Learning from actual professionals and feeling like you had the best work out ever, what more can you say.
I started with a groupon and only signed on for 35 more classes knowing I would get my moneys worth with Devon and Heather teaching. They helped build my core muscles and helped me tone up my arms and legs. I would of gladly had more people join based on how much I loved that class, but than I found out they were gone. Talk about bad business sense, who does that. The class becomes popular, everyone eager to take the class and they get the axe, Wow bad move. Hope I find out where they will set up shop again, so that I can join and bring all my friends to join.

had my first class last week. the class itself was really fun. the first half hour was warm up and various exercises like abs, kicking, punching. the next half hour utilized the bags and gloves, which was so much more fun. i wish we spent more time with the boxing bags instead of doing the other exercises like push ups and sit ups.
the instructor is really cool. i don’t know his name but he has dreads. his assistant was Heather, who seemed really intense and strict. the instructor demonstrated the combination he wanted us to do, then when we were practicing he was training Heather. he didn’t really correct us during the class. so if it’s your first time and you dont have any kickboxing experience u might have a harder time.
another con was the locker room and shower. they were both very small. the shower
water pressure was really low, so washing up after a sweaty class was not easy.
overall looking forward to my next class!

I am so glad I took a chance on a Groupon deal I received for classes at Brooklyn Martial Arts (Boerum Hill). They are so nice there and the facility is clean and comfortable especially for a newbe like me. The trainers are true professionals and athletes, their skill and passion comes through in every lesson. I have never sweat so much in one class and pushed my self so hard. Their Kickboxing class is not only rewarding for my body but also my spirit. I always walk out of class a bit taller and ready to kick some major a**. Thank you BMA! I look forward to completing many more classes with you.
