Great BJJ school! Excellent culture and instructors. The schedule covers a lot of time slots for both BJJ and Kickboxing throughout the entire week. Class always starts on time. Offers both BJJ and Kickboxing at beginner and advanced levels. Highly recommended!

I just moved to the Morristown area 3 months ago and stumbling across AMA was one of the best things to happen. I was looking for something to do so I could mix up my gym routine. I've been lifting for for 10+ years and thought "let me give muay thai a try." After doing the trial class with Coach Brandon I was hooked. I'm here pretty much every day of the week and now exclusively train Muay Thai instead of lifting. If you're looking for a great Muay Thai/BJJ gym this is the place to be. Great coaches, great atmosphere. Couldn't ask for anything more!

By far one of the best Martial Arts academies in the area. I have learned from the highly skilled and professional coaches in the Muay Thai and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu programs. I've always enjoyed stepping into the gym as everyone was welcoming and accommodating when I began classes. They all recognize me whenever I return and make me feel like I'm part of a team whenever I'm there. If you're looking to become a better version of yourself and build strength, confidence, and discipline, I suggest signing up for AMA as soon as possible!

I’ve trained at AMA Fight Club for over 2 years now. I bet it’s the top martial arts school in the Morristown area. It has helped me develop great Muay Thai technique, physical strength and endurance, and connections with others in the classes. When I started, I couldn’t do a push-up or jump rope for more than 30 seconds. And I’d never thrown a punch. Now, I spar, jump rope for 10 minutes no problem, and do sets of 20 pushups. The coaches are motivating and there’s always something new to learn. Did I mention it’s fun? The only negative I see is that it’s crowded. They need more classes or a bigger space due to its overwhelming recent popularity.

I almost never write a review. However, the topic of having your child learn proper self-defense is of such importance to a parent, who will make a large commitment in time and resources in the hope that their child leans valuable skills, that I want to share my opinion of AMA after 1 year. My two young sons are in the children's jiu-jitsu program. The instructors are serious, skilled martial artists and capable teachers. The program, particularly at the Little Champs level, is fun, which got my boys started off enjoying attending class and learning jiu-jitsu. The ciriculum is practical, and serious grappling skills are taught. Every class involves applying what is learned with sparing. There is no time wasted learning katas (or forms) or punching the air, which bored me in martial arts as a kid and undoubtedly would have caused my boys to lose interest also. Also, all of the people I have dealt with are very pleasant. In sum, I think the program is high quality and and my boys and I are very pleased and grateful to have found AMA.

The best place to train Jiu Jitsu! Want to talk about developing great technique but also discipline, this is the place to be. Some places will show good technique, but at AMA, Professor Helwig emphasizes showing up ready to train and only train with laser focus. He gives his 110% and wants it reciprocated from his students. I started here and moved away for school and trained other places, once you get AMA, you will not settle for anything less! A major reason I moved some where in the middle, was to just to be able to train here.

I've been attending AMA for the last three months, 4-5 classes per week, and they've built a welcoming and accessible community for combat training. I've yet to start up on the BJJ classes, but I see Jonathan Helwig there every time I go, always training or teaching or walking through and taking care of the facility. He is always a friendly and helpful. I look forward to learning from him. As far as Muay thai goes, I unequivocally reccomend training with Jean "Spyda" Clervois. Spyda is truly a great mentor and coach. He loves teaching fundamentals -- no frills or gimmicks, just the art of 8 limbs. So, no matter which level you're at, he is the coach for you. He also takes great care to observe his students and give individualized feedback. His instructions are so clear, and his knowledge so vast, that he makes your goals attainable. I've had various striking coaches in my life -- ITF TKD, orthodox boxing, and other muay thai coaches -- but Spyda has been the most comprehensive, bar none. Look no further, waste no time, learn from this man for as long as you can.

I'm from New York and wanted to drop in for some rolling & decided to give this facility a try. Walking in for the first time, I could tell this place is the real deal. The bathrooms & locker rooms were clean with showers for convenience, plenty of cubbies to put your belongings in, but most important: the mat space is unreal!! I'm not good with square feet measurements, but I can tell you that two other classes were going on at once while my 10:30am BJJ Gi class was in session, it's REALLY spacious here!!! Also they've got a full-sized MMA cage, so that already tells you that this facility is serious about what they teach. BJJ instructor Carl is a true professional & the way he taught was very easy for me to understand. He truly made me feel confident in my technique execution & came over to help me when I needed to be corrected. What's even better is that the guys in my class were amazing. Very supportive & made me feel welcomed. Thank you Carl & the AMA Fight Club for an outstanding experience yesterday. Once I do make the big move to NJ, I will surely be back to continue my journey with you guys!

Best introduction to BJJ I could've asked for from a school. I stopped attending because I'm moving back west, but am absolutely hooked on BJJ. AMA is serious about teaching the craft and mindset of BJJ, while being super approachable for all (as long as you're willing to show up and put in the work!). I found myself immediately hooked, challenged, and humbled. (And I also got my abs back after a few months so that's a plus). Professor Helwig breaks down move sets and concepts in a way that's super easy to understand. He also gives insight based on real fighting experience, and tailors advice to each body type: "in an MMA cage, you'd have to consider this", "if you're taller and lankier, you're going to be susceptible to this counter...", "if you're against a wrestler, they're going to try and sprawl out unless you grab this part of the gi...". Shout out to the other coaches - they're super fun and helpful too! Great community with a great attitude. If you're interested in getting in shape, strengthening your mindset, or finding a community, I'd strongly recommend.

I originally joined at the previous location back in 2015. Went in to train Muay Thai which was absolutely fantastic. However, I couldn't help but try their Jiu-Jitsu program which is run by Jamie Cruz blackbelt, Jonathan Helwig. As many would attest his teaching style is approachable and breaks down every movement in a manner making it very accessible for beginners and experienced practitioners male or female. With a strong emphasis on fundamentals and practicality, all skill levels benefit from the teaching style and format provided allowing them to tailor their own journey in the art for what works for them regardless of body type and how to grow each time on the mats for the better. As for the facility itself, it has been revamped completely at its new location in Cedar Knolls with all amenities required to foster a career in martial arts, whether you are an aspiring fighter or a local hobbyist looking to do something productive with their time and get a workout in coincidentally.

I was a member at the previous location which was already great. This new facility, however, is simply amazing. Without naming names, it is by far cleaner and larger than the other New Jersey BJJ gyms I've trained at. With unlimited classes included in the price and class times that have worked for me even with an erratic work schedule, it is also the most convenient. I started out BJJ as a way to stay in shape, but it has become a pursuit that I can’t imagine living without. AMA is family friendly too, offering a great deal for families- which I’ve taken advantage of by introducing my little brother to BJJ and my father to Muay Thai. AMA fight club is the best for beginners and professionals alike and I recommend it to anyone interested in real martial arts.

AMA has the BEST children’s karate program around! Mr. Dylan was my son’s instructor from the time he was 3 years old until we moved when he was 5. He is patient, knowledgeable, creative, and all the children and parents absolutely love him! He provides classes that are appropriate for child development as they focus on coordination, balance, agility, and discipline which is needed in order to become a good martial artist. If you are thinking of enrolling your child in to a martial arts program, I highly recommend this one! You will not be disappointed!

I absolutely cannot recommend this place enough. There is a reason this gym has its own wikipedia page...it is led by world class instructors who care just as much about their students as they do martial arts. 5/5 stars all day.

I have been training Bjj, Muay Thai and mma since 2011. During those years I had privilege to train previously in 2 other great gyms. AMA is my 3rd mma gym and possibly the best place I got the chance to train. Its a great place. A home to true athletes. If you are new don't feel intimidated because those guys are very respectful and everyone is willing to help you out. If you decide to take on Muay Thay you will be training under a living Muay Thai legend, Kaensack. Bjj program is top notch. I was really happy to find out that Professor Helwig takes his craft very seriously. Each Bjj practice feels like a personal class because he is very attentive to his students. Rules of a good class are always implemented ( no talking, focus, listen, etc). You get to train with wide variety of skill levels, weight class and age. Open mat is just a true test of your abilities. Big "H" is always there waiting for you. You will always learn something from that encounter. Now let me make it clear, you will be pushed to break your limitations. This is how you will grow. If your goal is loosing weight, changing your body composition or getting into shape in general, trust me that's just a side effect of a good training program that is a standard. It might seem like I'm sugar coating but trust me it's also a serious gym. Top level guys from mma world pop up there to train. Many guys who train there compete and are really passionate about what they do.

A great atmosphere conducive to learning and evolving as a martial artist. The instructors for Muay Thai and BJJ are second to none. Ive only been training here for 2 months and I already cant imagine not coming here every week. I only wish I started years ago.

AMA has been a crucial part in me being able to surpass my goal of fighting in just one MMA fight. Thanks to AMA's instructors and long list of fighters I was able to train and then compete in 4 Amatuer and 1 professional MMA fight. I was able to achieve a total record of 5-0 do to the training I've received there. if your looking to learn JiuJitsu, MuayThai,MMA or would like to be a top competitor in either one of these Arts this is the place to go.

Regardless of the discipline (Jiu Jitsu, Muay Thai, etc.) or the level (Kids, Adults) all the instructors are top notch and great to learn from. You'd be hard pressed to find a better school in the area and I highly recommend AMA.

AMA Fightclub is the best MMA facility in the area. If you want to train with the same instructors that train the pros, this is the place. I started training at the age of 42. Beginner and advanced classes offered daily. My only regret is that I didn't join sooner.

Top-notch martial arts school. As a former military member I have had a basic understanding of BJJ, and was totally clueless about Muay Thai until I went here. The workouts and training are intense, but 100% worth your while. Strongly recommended!

I've been practicing martial arts and MMA for almost 5 years and after being a member of several martial arts schools, I found myself staying put at AMA. It took me years to find a place that suited my needs, and AMA goes above and beyond. Whether it be jiu jitsu, Muay Thai, conditioning classes, MMA, or wrestling classes, AMA Fight Club has instructors that will both make you better and help you push yourself. They are knowledgeable, helpful, and friendly. I've never been more comfortable walking in the door and being greeted by staff, instructors, and fellow students. The level of camaraderie at AMA is greater than any other school I have been to. I have, and will continue to recommend AMA fight club to martial artists of all experience levels.

I've been a fan of MMA for as long as I can remember, but only recently was I able to muster up the courage to sign up at AMA. I can honestly say it was the best fitness decision I've ever made. AMA houses world-renown instructors who are always willing to take the time to answer questions and ensure you are developing your skill set. The students/training partners are like one big family. So do not be hesitant as I was…come to AMA to watch a class. I guarantee you will sign up right then and there!

This place is crazy. I was just a fan of the UFC when I decided to take up the sport on the side, but now I find myself doing a lot more training then watching. The guys who teach really know their stuff. I've trained at other MMA gyms, but AMA has the toughest workouts. It's hard to find a gym like this where it literally doesn't matter what your skill level is. You can just be looking to get in shape the fun way, or be a pro fighter, and you'll be hooked on these classes. Now I know how to arm-bar and ankle lock my co-workers which I do all the time. Lol. Just kidding.

My 8 year old son took Tae Kwon Do classes for 2 years with limited results. The instructors at the other schools let the kids run wild, with no sense of order or discipline. Every month there was a belt test, and every kid was promoted even if they did not know the katas. My husband eventually pulled my son from Tae Kwon Do and enrolled him at AMA Fight Club. We were amazed at the level of training and discipline that was provided to our child. For the first time in two years, our child was learning practical self defense techniques both standing, and on the ground. You will not find a school like this anywhere in NJ. Highly recommended!!

You can't find a better mixed martial art school in the area.The atmosphere is very friendly and the instructors are highly skilled. Whether your just looking to get in shape or self defense the school has it all. There are classes all throughout the day so you can always find a time to train. I highly recommended AMA Fight Club.

AMA is the best martial arts school in the North Jersey are. They have an amazing facility and Outstanding programs. The thing I like about this school is the fact that they have classes all day every day to fit my busy schedule. Plus the have black belts that teach their classes. This place is for everyone, from the basic classes for someone who has never trained in the martial arts to people who are professional fighters. Its cool that you can walk around the school and see people who actually fight in the UFC. I highly suggest you check out this school. Bar non the best anywhere
