After over 40 years in the martial arts, I count NY Best Kickboxing founder and chief instructor David Ross as an amazing colleague, and a dear, trusted friend. Exemplary in his field, he has traveled the world, training and learning from lineage masters, and great modern innovators alike. This knowledge and experience, and the passion that David Ross has for helping others find their own focus in fitness, traditional, and progressive martial arts programs is no less than inspirational, and will always put David Ross and New York Best Kickboxing at the vanguard!

A lifelong fitness fanatic, discovering NY Best Kickboxing in my early 40s was my best find yet. From the warm up through the rounds and right through the very last push up or crunch, my body and mind are put to the test and I always feel like I can conquer whatever a NYC day throws at me after a class with one of the awesome instructors. I can honestly say the classes have helped me be in the best shape of my life - both physically and mentally. If you're looking for a no-frills, no-nonsense workout, look no further than NY Best Kickboxing.

This studio is my sanity, therapy, and happiness. I don't know where I would be without the support of these instructors, and these amazing classes. I walked in after purchasing the groupon, the instructors thought I would never return, 3 and a half years later I still walk in. Just the best!!!

I have been a member of this gym for about a year and the level of instruction is one of the best I have encountered in my many years of martial arts training across different styles and instructors. Whether you are a beginner wanting to get in shape and learn basic technique or an advanced practitioner who would like the experience and guidnace of a world renowned CMA instructor.

I have been a member here for years and I continue to love the gym, the workout and the people. Never thought I would do any exercise consistently this long, but not only did I see results, the classes remained quite fun! The place is just awesome, everyone friendly, a good sense of humor, quite a sweat.

Advice to anyone reading this, buy the groupon, it's a better deal than the web special. And they will give you a better start up offer if you start with a groupon. They are open 7 days a week but they do book up pretty quickly, a few friends had to wait a week for their first sessions.

Do not be intimidated, the staff is cool and very pro

i love this place and go here nearly every day. It is a great workout and everyone is really helpful, encouraging and enthusiastic. Not only do you get fit but you also learn a lot about martial arts and self-defense.

(Edit: after submission of this review, the owner replied with lots of made-up lies, which made me lost faith completely about this school. At least, one should be honest. This place has no trust, I don't expect them to teach.) ***Original: If I could give 0 star I would. There's no place that's more rude than this gym, they don't treat customers with respect, which is the most important element of Martial Arts. Plus, it's really inconvenient to schedule an appointment: they don't have a schedule online and when you call, the staff is so rude and didn't even have patience to tell what are the times and what are the classes, and you have to call to schedule an appointment which they either don't pick up, or be very rude and wouldn't want to talk and tell you any information needed, making it very inconvenient to drop in.

This place changed my life, I am completely serious. Not just real martial arts, but a family that supports you

I found a groupon for this place while looking for kickboxing classes and thought it would be an easy way to start. I seldom comitt to anything, and I did about 4 classes until I finally signed up for a full membership. Been there about 6 months now and pretty darn happy.

Distinctly different from a lot of kickboxing places, they have a staff of real martial artists and some former fighters. They even have people who have fought professionally here. Not that they will punch you or anything, but it's good to know you are getting real technique. Furthermore, for a bunch of pretty serious people, the atmosphere is pretty laid back and easy going. The jokes come fast, and are often pretty bad.

Same token, this is a no frills experience. The product is the sessions, tons of sweat, and results. They have lockers but in a room with just a curtain. Bathroom is clean but small. You buy water out of what looks like a fridge someone's mom didn't need anymore!

Wokouts though, seven days a week which is a major plus, are INSANE. I have never felt anything like it. Things ached I didn't know existed. But like I said after 6 months I am liking what I am seeing ane people are making nice comments.

A no-frills gym, NY San Da is a great value for the price of classes. The draw of this location is without a doubt the instructors...a varied workout plan and varied instructors from class to class keep you constantly discovering new exercises (and muscles)! I have been attending the location for one year now and it has become an integral part of my fitness routine....as someone that had never practiced kickboxing before I found a welcoming environment that allowed me to develop my skills and instructors that will constantly help you improve your technique. Definitely recommend it for anyone male or female regardless of age or technique who is looking for a fun and effective way to exercise!!

I have been a member here for several years, though off an on due to school and work conflicts. That is one of the best parts, they not only have monthly (which would never work for me), they also have class cards where the classes never expire. So I fall off the planet for six months and I can come back without a single issue

Workout is pretty intense, but I also like it is a real kickboxing class. They teach you technique along the way. Not at all like a karate class I took, they are very laid back and super friendly, but you really learn how to kick those bags.

While some of the instructors were former fighters, the major direction here is fitness and everyone is welcome. If anyone is complaining in a review here, it is because they didn't want to behave like a normal person. Everyone who has been a member here has seen those people, you can't come into a class 20 minutes late and YES you need your gloves, it's kickboxing!

If you are interested in getting a great workout that will produce results while meeting some cool new people, I strong recommend this place

DISGUSTING CUSTOMER SERVICE
I WOULD NEVER GO HERE.
THE GUY WHO CALLED TO SET UP AN APPOINTMENT WAS RUDE TO ME AND MY COWORKER.
We decided to go up there and see if we can take an earlier the class the guy stated we couldn't then talked about us like a dog to the owner because he thought we left.
When I left a message to speak to the manger the same guy called me back and told me I was retarded and hung up. So I walked over to make sure he issued me a refund , to which he claimed he was calling the cops because i was acting like a child and I was creating a scene. Oh and I was also accused of trespassing.
I decided to walk out and wait for the cops which he did not call.
How i knew he didn't call was because when i called to make the complaint the police said my complaint was the only one made.
I will be reporting them to the BBB and headquarters. THEY ARE DISGUSTING AND RUDE.
I am a paying customer just like everyone else.
i was called retarded . crazy, disruptive just plain rude.

4 classes in on a 10 class groupon and quite happy so far. I don't commit to anything, so I have not joined yet, but I have come back. Didn't really think every class would be different, everyone says that, but in this case it is true. NOT for the faint of heart, these workouts are hard, but I need to change my life and think ultimately this may be the way to do it

Place is not "spa quality" but it it clean. It is just very basic, like curtain room with just locker basic. The major feature is the staff, who work you very hard but always with good attitude. I took a bootcamp where they cursed me out, eck! Discovered most of the trainers started off in the classes so that is something convincing to me

One warning, hard to get an appointment they book up fast. Also morning classes are very small, maybe too small. So you can not hide in them, you need to do a night time class to do that, otherwise you stick out like the out of shape person you are

My friends dragged me to kickboxing class, I had never really worked out even though I have two gym memberships. I almost didn't survive the warm up, seriously. The classes are very hard but they showed me a bunch of pictures of people losing weight and I wanted to get into shape. My friends have lost weight and look good. So I joined. I wish they had showers but the staff is super friendly and it has remained different and interesting even after more than a month. I have not seen the results my friends have, but they come a lot and I only come a little bit.
