Glory Martial Arts Center

Glory Martial Arts Center teaches Brazilian jiu-jitsu, Muay Thai kickboxing and mixed martial arts to kids and adults, along with women-only classes and strength and conditioning sessions. Kids' classes build focus, discipline and confidence through belt progression and group games, while adult classes combine grappling and striking for fitness and self-defense. The school has more than 16 years of experience.

Adult Brazilian jiu-jitsu is offered in both gi and no-gi formats, and students of any fitness level are welcome. Parents can stay and watch kids' classes or step out for a while. The studio is located in Brooklyn, and the school also lists locations on Staten Island. New students can sign up through the website or by phone.
