Westchester ny training

[haysus31]

Was trying to post on another thread
Any new info on places to train in Westchester County NY. I am a bit surprised that there seems to be only a few places considering the size and population of the county

Steve Kardian has a gym in Hawthorne - Thornwood MMA - FREE Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Mixed Martial Arts | Westchester County New York, Thornwood, NY, Pleasantville, Yonkers, New Rochelle, White Plains, Valhalla, Mount Pleasant, Mount Kisco, Hawthorne, Chappaqua, Briarcliff, Bedford, Byram Hills, Armonk, MMA B

Jojo Guarin has a gym in White Plains - ECUBJJ - www.ECUBJJ.com - Train BJJ and MMA in North White Plains NY in Westchester County and improve your life today! Men, women and Kids welcome. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Mixed Martial Arts, Kickboxing, Judo and Yoga classes offered daily.

Gracie Barra Westchester Gracie Barra of Westchester - GBWBJJ.com I don't know who the head instructor is currently but my buddy Marvin is one of the instructors and he is a real cool dude.

If the trip isn't too far check out Precision MMA, in lagrange ny MMA and BJJ in Poughkeepsie, LaGrange, and the Hudson Valley. The school is run by black belt and MMA fighter, Brian McLaughlin. I train there so I'm biased but it is an amazing school, best school that I've trained at.

I can vouch for both Marvin and Jojo... Marvin trains with us quite a bit and he's a beast on the mat... Also, got a few friends that train with JoJo and I've heard very good things. Good luck.

Thanks for the response guys. Im considering a job in the area thats temp and thought to myself there has to be places nearby. Im surprised that the county dosent have more places to train BJJ considering the fact that its a largely populated place.

Just do a youtube search of JoJo so you can see for yourself...Awesome guy and the ECU school is about to explode. I've known him for a while and he's a class act all the way. He also brings in some high level guys like JT to train every so often as well as Rob Gutierrez, one of the best instructors you'll find ANYWHERE, to do seminars and train. Also the Jungle Gym with Justin Garcia has a New Rochelle location to think about. Either way, you win. Great guys to train w/, great instruction and great BJJ.

I started my training way back in 08 with Jojo in White Plains. He's a really great teacher, and an awesome competitor as well. Good gym overall.

Thanks for the replies guys anyone have any other info on the county? Any current guys train at GB Westchester or the new jungle gym in New Rochelle?

 

[haysus31]

Any one else have any info? The county population is roughly 930,000 bigger than may cities.

If you're near Bedford Hills you should check out Premier Martial Arts (right now we're franchised under a McDojo name) but our BJJ program is legit from Royce Gracie. We get at least 1, usually 2 Royce seminars a year and at least 1 Rodrigo Gracie seminar a year among some other names. Once summer hits we'll have a new facility build and be under the banner of Westchester Mixed Martial Arts. Our current cheesy website is Premier Martial Arts Bedford Hills New York | Premier martial arts and jiu jitsu classes in Bedford Hills New York but once we move out you can find us at Westchester Mixed Martial Arts and Fitness | Just another WordPress site

I train with Steve Kardian whenever I'm in the Westchester area. There are 2 black belts that train there (I forget the other guy's name) as well as multiple others of other ranks. Steve teaches, and the other black belt randomly rolls around on the mat, pulling people out of the instruction to roll playfully with them; it's hilarious. He'll literally just roll towards you on his back, start pulling you into some position,and you're rolling with him. Sounds odd, but it was truly relaxed and fun.

Very chill atmosphere, good instruction, good rolls with all of Steve's guys, and Steve himself has been extremely kind and welcoming to me each time I've visited. Highly recommended!

I train with Steve Kardian at (thornwoodmma.com)

The atmosphere there is awesome and the level of instruction is top notch. Everyone is willing to help and everyone has an awesome attitude.

We have 4 black belts that are frequently there and always willing to go over stuff with you after class. (actually everyone will help you one on one)

Come in and check it out, Steve is an old school guy that keeps it real.

No matter what you decide, I would recommend you check each place out in person and try out the class.

ps also further north is black hole jiu-jitsu (blackholejiujitsu.net) Their guys train with us frequently. That is also an excellent school.

Good luck!

I don't know much about Westchester Fight Club but it looks like the jiu jitsu instructor is Bobby chandler. Bobby is a real cool dude, very slick jiu jitsu.
