Why someone from Catskill would choose a small Tannersville room.
You aren't choosing us for a 5-minute commute. You choose us for capped classes, a calm room, and clear instruction. For adults who want a calmer first BJJ experience, the focus on detail matters more than a big, loud environment.
Make the first drive countFit check first.
A 12-week commitment only makes sense after the fit is clear. Treat the Free Intro as a serious evaluation of whether our coaching style is right for you.
Why not find something closer?
This is for families and adults who want small-group, beginner-safe coaching over a bigger anonymous room. Quality of instruction and safety often outweigh an extra 15 minutes in the car.
Do not cut it close
Do not cut it close; arrive early so the first visit does not feel rushed. Use Main Street parking first, nearby side streets if needed, and head upstairs.
