Classes

• Boxing
  While traditional (Western) Boxing originated in ancient Greece, New York City holds a special place in the sport's history as well. Church Street successfully brings this ancient martial art into the 21st century by combining many of the traditional elements of the boxing work out with many of the more recent developments in the sport and fitness in general. Our staff have a combined resume of well over 300 fights, so you can be sure that you are learning from those that have experienced training at the highest level first hand.

• Muay Thai
  Muay Thai Boxing or "Thai Boxing" originated in Thailand and is the official national sport of Thailand today. This sport is referred to as the "Art of the Eight Limbs" as it combines punches, kicks, elbows and knee strikes (8 points of contact). Our Muay Thai classes are also taught by experienced instructors who have competed. Church Street has more Muay Thai Champions than just about any other club at both the amateur and professional level, so if we can get them in top shape just think what we can do for you!

• Jiu-Jitsu
  Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu ("BJJ") is a martial art, combat sport, and a self defense system that focuses on grappling and ground fighting. BJJ promotes the concept that a smaller, weaker person can successfully defend against a bigger, stronger assailant by using leverage and proper technique, taking the fight to the ground – most notably by applying joint-locks and chokeholds to defeat an opponent. Often featured in mixed martial arts (MMA) matches, BJJ offers an effective counter to other combat styles. In addition to its effectiveness as a martial art, Jiu Jitsu practitioners also emphasize its impact on physical fitness and development of character in young people.
