American Killer Bees NYC (now 5 Boro Fighthaus) — Local services in New York

Everyone has different criteria when judging a gym, my personal checklist includes: Cleanliness Staff technical knowledge Staff attitude

Cleanliness- 5 STARS ... as most know martial Arts gyms can easily become basteria cesspools. That’s not the case at 5 boro, they disinfect and wash the gym religiously. Upon entering you can tell they don’t cut corners on cleanliness.

Staff technical knowledge- 5 stars... the schools lead black belt/professor (Luis Martinez) has won several gold medals in IBJJF competitions, the striking coach (Erick) has won several boxing championships, the other coaches / instructors (Freddy, Elkin, Pablo) have all had professional and amateur fight/competition experience providing a wealth of knowledge to all who come to train.

Staff attitude - 5 stars... after the first class you can tell this isn’t just a gym but more of a community/family. Every from the instructors to the students is so warm and welcoming. They definitely promote a positive training / learning environment.

If you’re looking for a clean, professional training environment that also has a warm inviting familiar feel then this is your place. If your looking for some cookie-cutter cesspool gym that just wants your money and doesn’t care about you then 5 boro fight haus definitely isn’t for you.

Oh and they offer free trial classes if you want to see...

5boro has been a second home to me. Ive never taken ANY fighting classes as a kid. I am not the most aggressive or nor was I the most athletic. I think the VERY MOST IMPORTANT thing in this gym was how they accommodate you. It was very important for me to feel comfortable enough to learn how to fight while being physical with someone. Both Instructors and students are EXTREMELY patient. If it wasnt for their patience and their consistent effort to help me feel comfortable than i wouldnt have survived in a martial arts gym. I got very lucky with this gym, I highly recommend checking it out and giving it a chance. I, as a person whos never trained to fight can understand how one will feel intimidated but can honestly say its not only been the best experience but the most healthiest. Happily from 240lb to 170lb; 5boro has helped me lose the weight through their courses. From coach Luis Martinez, Elkin Ordenana (Brazilian Jiu Jitsu) to Mario Ramirez and Erik Vincente (Muay Thai); All coaches are fully involved. 5boro has been an extremely life changing experience. Definitely worth the trial classes and...
