Dropped in for a beginner BJJ class while visiting from Houston. Paid $40 to drop in and $10 for gi rental which pretty reasonable considering the classes offered. I was warmly welcomed by Jason, a brown belt at the academy who also offered a tour of the facility and was interested in getting to know the school I was visiting from (Gracie Barra Westchase) and even knew some of the team from my home school. Although the facilities are a bit old, I found everything to be very clean and proper. I also found it very interesting that the beginner BJJ class was ALL white belts without any higher belts. I guess this could bode well if you're really interested in growing with the people you start with. Overall, a very high level experience and I'd recommend it to anyone! Oss!

Dropped in the beginners gi evening class on 10/15/2019, while in the city for a business trip. They offer Gi rental which is reasonably priced and very convenient. Great facility, instructors and students- very respectful, welcoming, and safety conscious. The professor gave me the same attention and technique correction during drills as his other students, which was first rate. Will definitely drop in again when visiting NYC. Thanks RGA!

What an amazing school with a great vibe! I stopped in when Master Renzo and John Danaher were doing a charity seminar for one of their students who had cancer.
Students were super cool and it was an amazing experience to walk into the World Headquarters of the Renzo Gracie Academy for the first time!

This place is amazing. Just an unbelievably welcoming gym with incredible instruction from the best in the world. Renzo is so full of positive energy it permeates throughout. I loved every second I was there and look forward to going back.

Can't say enough good things about this academy. Instruction, training partners and facility far exceeded what anyone could hope for from an academy. Thank you for having me.

Don't train here if you are beginner- intermediate advanced. This place is a injury factory, and you will pay extra for the "name value" (comparatively to the other MMA gyms in NYC), but you will never see Renzo teaching beginner/intermediate or even many of the advanced classes, and 90% of the other coaches do not care unless you are a fighter or black belt. Ego is not left at the door, and a safe and friendly training environment to prevent injuries is not a culture that is fostered here, expect to get injured more often than you should. This is a decent gym if you are a fighter or high ranking belt, great place to learn leg locks (which you can only learn when you get to a much higher level), anything else and I highly recommend NOT to train here. Same problem with Marcelo's, but Marcelo is actually there quite often... still I recommend instead training at one of the smaller MMA gyms in the area.

Renzo's is the place to be!! World class instructors who truly care about your progression. Training there is one of my favorite things to do. Can't wait to train tomorrow.

Great place for quality jiu-jitsu with a welcoming vibe. Renzo is awesome and his instructors show the vast diversity within the RGA family. Always look forward to visiting HQ from Canada.
