Beginners Welcome!

We Teach Techniques That Are Proven To Work!

We teach martial arts techniques that are tested by Military, Law Enforcement and in MMA competition to be the most effective against TRAINED OPPONENTS. If they work against UFC Fighters, they’ll work even better against average people; that is why the arts that we teach are the ones that most military and Law Enforcement agencies have adopted and use practically in real Self Defense s.ituations

MMA Fighters GET PAID to win fights, so they choose the most effective fighting styles to train in. We teach Brazilian Jiu-jitsu because it is PROVEN to be the most effective single style of Martial Arts without cross training - this was established in the UFC when there were almost No Rules and No Time Limits! We also teach Muay Thai because it is the most well rounded and complete style of Kickboxing that incorporates Kicks, Punches, Knees, Elbows and Takedowns. These are the styles that THE BEST fighters in the world use to beat trained opponents; they are also the styles that a large majority of Law Enforcement agencies use to prepare for the worst Self Defense Situations.

It is important to be Well Rounded.

At NYMAG, we teach several styles of Martial Arts, but the core of our program is broken into two parts: Muay Thai and Brazilian Jiu-jitsu. The reason for this is that for both Fighters and People practicing for Self Defense, the combination of these two arts makes for a well rounded student. In each area of fighting, these two style are the most well rounded: Brazilian Jiu-jitsu is the most complete style of Grappling and Muay Thai is a complete form of Stand-up fighting. Unlike most Kickboxing styles, Muay Thai has a complete array of techniques and Fighters can strike with just about every part of the body. Muay Thai is one of the only "Kickboxing" styles to fully address the Clinch position and even has takedowns. Unlike Wresting, Brazilian Jiu-jitsu practitioners can fight from both the top and from their backs and actually submit their opponents from this position (the guard).

Unfortunately, there are still many schools that do not balance their training to incorporate both Stand-Up Fighting and Ground Fighting. In recent years some Karate schools have added a Grappling or "Jiu-jitsu" program to their curriculum, but at NYMAG, we have been teaching Authentic Brazilian Jiu-jitsu since 1997 and are the Source for BJJ instruction in Hudson Valley.

Brazilian Jiu-jitsu is SO EFFECTIVE that after seeing BJJ Practitioners DOMINATE the UFC vs other styles, The US Army decided to base almost their entire Combatives system on Brazilian Jiu-jitsu. The US ARMY COMBATIVES MANUAL was re-written for the modern world in 2002 by a Brazilian Jiu-jitsu practitioner.

The US Army can't afford to risk lives on Hollywood Myths and "Dojo Theory"; they field test their techniques in the real world and use Brazilian Jiu-jitsu ... because it works in REAL situations!

The History Channel's, Terry Schappert Talks about Training at NYMAG

"As a Green Beret, every skill that I train for the battlefield must prepare me to fight and win in the worst conditions. Martial arts training is no exception. What I learn must be practical, simple and effective - but it must be taught in a way that I can understand quickly and incorporate in my skill set.

Not every great fighter makes a great instructor, but the team of trainers at NYMAG are all skilled and accomplished in their disciplines, as well as very effective teachers.

Everyone is welcome to train here. The atmosphere is relaxed but intense. If you want to get in better shape more efficiently, train here; if you want to compete in Jiu Jitsu or Muay Thai, train here. And if you need to learn how to defend yourself and your family in today's world, you BETTER come here, the instructors at NYMAG know that the disciplines they teach all come from a need to survive and win on any battlefield -- a dark alley, an MMA cage, or the unforgiving streets of the Middle East.

When you train at NYMAG you will have fun, but you will be pushed. You will meet friends who will fight you with all they've got. You will get stronger, faster, tougher and develop skills that make you a better fighter and a better person. That's why I'm here - I don't have time for stuff that doesn't work, so I train at NYMAG -- and that's why you should be here too."

- Terry Schappert, US Army Special Forces Medic, and host of History Channel's "Warriors with Terry Schappert"
