I've been a member here for a while now and it's been a tremendous delight to see the team grow and the programs expand over time.
The quality of instruction at ITC is phenomenal, with each of the coaches bearing credentials worthy of the priciest schools in the city -- but available to us at affordable rates in a family oriented establishment. Not only are the instructors first rate, but I've had a wonderful experience with the quality of teammates I have here. The environment is safe, friendly, welcoming, and free of common gym pitfalls of overbearing machismo, egoism, or politics.

Plus street parking is very available around the area easy to find (which is refreshing).
I continue to feel more and more inspired to push after every class, and I canāt thank the folks ITC enough. Canāt wait to keep...

For bjj, Coach Quinn is one of the most technical and knowledgable instructors that you will find in all of NY. And Muay Thai is one of the best conditioning classes you could take.
Beyond all this, there is a real sense of community and friendship, that makes it my favorite place to be on any given weekday evening. And it couldn't be easier to commute to, sitting right under the N+Q trains with a municipal parking lot right in the back.
If you're looking to try out any martial art or get in shape without the tedious monotony of a regular gym,...
