One of the best experiences I've ever been a part of. I love this gym, the coach is amazing and knows martial arts in many different aspects. He keeps us humble and at the same time prepares us for both tournaments and the real world.

I’ve been training at RDCC for just over 6 months and it’s been an incredible experience. The owner, Mike, is not only extremely knowledgeable and skilled, but also genuinely supportive and approachable. The atmosphere here is welcoming, and the community is amazing—everyone helps each other out and pushes one another to improve. I’ve met some great people and made real friendships along the way. The facility is spacious, the equipment is top-notch, and the instruction is excellent. If you're looking for a place to train that truly has it all, RDCC is it.

I’ve learned so much since joining this MMA school! The people here are awesome—super friendly, supportive, and always ready to help. Mike, the instructor, is amazing. He really listens to you and takes the time to make sure you’re learning and improving. The school itself is big and has plenty of space to train comfortably. Highly recommend to anyone looking to level up their skills!

I’ve been training at RDCC for a little over a year now, and I honestly couldn’t be happier with my experience. The coaching is top-tier and the instructor is knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely passionate about helping you grow in your jiu-jitsu journey. The atmosphere is super welcoming, whether you're brand new or more experienced. I recently earned my blue belt here, and I’m proud to be part of such a supportive and motivating school. If you’re looking for a place to train, learn, and push yourself while being surrounded by great people, RDCC is it.

Sensei Mike is a legit blackbelt in judo, karate, and jiujitsu. Don't be surprised if you ever run into one of his students that'll throw you or submit you especially teenagers grown from this gym. A great environment to be, and he also runs a great program for the kids too.

Mike is a solid instructor who is well versed in bjj, judo and striking arts. His attention to detail is exceptional. Moreover, his students will take the time to explain or reinforce the lesson of the day.

Mike provides exceptional instruction, distinguishing his approach from many other BJJ schools by placing significant emphasis on takedowns. This focus contributes to developing well-rounded grapplers.

Been training at RDCC for a little over a year and absolutely love it there. I have never met a more involved coach or more technical coach. This place has changed my life for the better in so many ways and I strongly recommend coming down to train.

I've been coming for a couple of months now and it's been nothing short of wonderful. The instructor knows what he is doing and clearly enjoys teaching. Everyone wants to see each other improve so I'm always looking forward to each class. Would definitely recommend!

Ive have been training with Mike since before he opened up Red Dawn. He is the best martial arts instructor Ive ever had. He is a very intelligent istructor who breaks techniques down very logically. We arent just taught how to do things, but why we do them. The one thi g he does not tolerate in his school is an attitude. He does not stand for any bullying or dangerous physicality while grappling. Granted this is a grappling school and every night we do live sparring. While the rolling is challenging it is clear to everyone present that those deliberately trying to hurt other are not welcome.

This is a great place to learn jiu jitsu, get into shape, and meet some great people while you do so. The school in conveniently located on Union Turnpike across the street from Dunkin Donuts. There is tons of parking and public transportation as well. The space is small but it is actually to your benefit because it ensures that the classes will be small. The head instructor Michael Botier really knows his stuff and is extremely helpful and knowledgeable. Take one lesson at Red Dawn Combat Club and you'll never want to stop.

I have been a student at RDCC since November (2011). Although I had some exposure to grappling before, going to class at RDCC significantly improved my technique and understanding of BJJ. Of course, this was no accident. The combination of great instructors, great sparring/training partners, and ego-less atmosphere provide a fertile ground for progression in BJJ. Mike and Freddy make sure you know a technique, its variations and their respective applications in forensic detail so you get the best possible chance of understanding what's going on. The instructors are never too busy to walk you through something you might not immediately understand. If you're looking for proven self-defense techniques, to compete in tournaments, or simply getting in shape, BJJ is definitely the way to go, and RDCC can help you get there. As a matter of fact, two of the guys from RDCC just got gold medals at the last Good Fight tournament. The results speak for themselves and certainly speak volumes for the quality of instruction and methodology at RDCC, as well as the enthusiasm of its students. The school is also very competitively priced (I challenge anyone to find a better price in NY), and the two locations are situated in very accessible areas whether by public transportation or car etc. Of course, I could simply go on with reasons for why I believe RDCC is a great school, but you'll never really see it my way until you try it out. Call up the school and ask for a free trial class. They'll be more than happy to show you why it's one of the best places to train.
