  Hands down the best gym in wny. Fantastic and supporting community wether its your 1st day or 5th year. Extremley knowledgeable teachers who have a drive for wanting students to succeed. I recommend this gym to anyone who needs a new community or even getting into bjj.

  Looked up some possible places while in Buffalo for the week for some work related training. Found this place and reached out. Coach Michael responded, welcoming me to drop in and provided some good info. When I got there the environment was very welcoming, from the instructors down to the newest white belt. I never felt like anyone wanted to prove themselves against the "stranger", a vibe I've gotten on occasion when I drop in on classes during my travels. Got some good drilling in to work on muscle memory, and some good positional rolling for practice and to get the heart rate up. Overall great class.

  I recently dropped in for a class while visiting the area, and I couldn’t be more impressed. The staff and students were professional, courteous, and very welcoming. The facility is top-notch—locker rooms, well-maintained mats, and a great overall vibe. They have a great culture: experienced practitioners with no egos, patience toward new students, and a genuine love for the art. Everyone was humble, respectful, and focused, which made learning feel safe and fun. I’ve been training for 8 months, and I learned more in this one class than I expected. I’ll admit, I was a little intimidated by their photos (they look pretty mean and tough!)—but these same people behind those poses are kind, knowledgeable, and down-to-earth. If I were to ever relocate to Buffalo, Lake Effect Jiu-Jitsu would absolutely be my go-to academy. Highly recommend to anyone looking for top-quality training and a supportive atmosphere.

  I am super impressed with Lake Effect, the gym is always clean and inviting. The instructors are amazing and really put in an effort to ensure the students are getting the instruction they need. The culture is amazing, when you walk in you feel welcome and everyone has respect for each other. I am so glad I found this place it is a ton of fun and I encourage anyone thinking about BJJ to give this place a try I truly cannot say enough good things about it.

  I'm originally from Buffalo but now live and train out of state. I dropped into Lake Effect when visiting home. The facility itself is awesome and extremely clean and well kept. Instruction is top-notch and Michael and his coaches give individualized attention to all students. The culture is really welcoming and friendly, I felt right at home when I walked in. Lake Effect is officially my new home away from home! Thank you!
