Williamsburg MMA — Local services in New York

This is the most welcoming martial arts gym in NYC. People from all backgrounds come here to train, and everyone is treated with respect. Whether you’re a complete beginner or more experienced, you’re welcomed the same.

Roger, the owner, sets the tone. He’s patient, friendly, and genuinely cares about every person who walks through the door. I’ve been training boxing here 3 to 4 times a week since the end of 2024, and I’ve learned a ton just by showing up consistently. You don’t need any experience—just the willingness to learn.

You’ll get an intense, technical workout. You’ll be learning real skills, and you’ll be tired. But you’ll be fine. And you’ll feel yourself getting sharper every time.

It’s an amazing and welcoming group of people- don’t hesitate if you’re looking to learn grappling...

The owner/founder Roger Mamedov, truly treats EVERYONE, regardless of background, level, as family (I know this sounds cliché, but it is true). In terms of the curriculum, any MMA, martial artist fan, will really appreciate the environment. You are being taught by one of the best practitioners in the country (seeing is believing). Now, my 4 year old daughter has begun training here as well and I have seen tremendous personal growth in her. If you strive to challenge yourself and you are ok with being pushed out of your comfort zone, this is the place for you. Come and see for yourself. You won't be...
