No matter your goal, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is a great hobby to have, and you will be surrounded by like-minded positive people who care about themselves and their health.
What People Are Saying
"I came to Modern Martial Arts a year ago. Being a 2nd degree black belt in Judo, and having “rolled” with many BJJ practitioners, I had a idea of what to expect. I was expecting a contest of egos and big time grinding. What I got was grinding, but without the egos… I was welcomed and respected by all. This is no accident. Santana, the head instructor instills an atmosphere of mutual benefit and respect in all his students."
- Christopher Maksymowicz
"This place is a hidden gem in the NY jiu jitsu scene. Prof Santana has a unique ability to convey the fundamentals of BJJ and build it as a foundation for the students as they progress. If you haven't tried BJJ, I highly recommend that you do. It is a great workout, and cerebral activity. Most importantly, it is a lot of fun.”
