Nervous About Your First Class? Wondering if Your Kid Will Like It? Start Here.
Everything you need to know about training at Jungle Gym.
Your First Steps
Train unlimited for one full week, completely free. No credit card required. No contracts to sign. Just show up, train, and see if Jungle Gym is right for you. Call (718) 684-5138 or walk in.
Comfortable athletic clothes (shorts, t-shirt, no zippers or buttons). For BJJ gi classes, we have loaner gis. For MMA or no-gi classes, a rash guard and board shorts work best. Bring a water bottle and a towel.
Absolutely not. Most of our students started with zero martial arts experience. Our coaches meet you where you are and build you up from there.
Not even a little. You don't get in shape to start martial arts. You start martial arts to get in shape. We've had students lose 100+ pounds training here.
Walk in during class hours, call (718) 684-5138, or fill out the form on our Free Trial page. We'll get you started the same day if possible.
