Eddie Fyvie Jiu-Jitsu Academy 100 Saratoga Village Boulevard, Malta, NY 12020

"I am relatively new here - 8 months, but so far I am very pleased with this school. You can tell that Eddie really cares about his students and really strives to get the most out of everyone. The quality of instruction is unparalleled, no matter which of the black belts are teaching. I am continually learning and my progression is steady. Like i said- Eddie has the ability to get the best out of everyone… not an easy task. My 7 year old also attends and for anyone who has kids understands that teaching anything to children is super difficult. Eddie has an innate ability to relate to the kids and my son loves coming. For this I am forever grateful. EFJJA provides seminars for free to students: seminars provided by some really big names too (Gracie, machado, etc). What more can you ask for? This is a really nice bonus. Really happy I joined, just wish I had done this earlier. I am over 40 but, never too late I guess. If you are searching for a school, look no further. Hope to see you on the mats!"

"I was referred to EFJJA as a beginner with no experience. From the beginning I was impressed with the new student process and felt welcomed coming into my first class. Would highly recommend!"

"Coach Nick Says - Hands Down the Best Instruction Around transformimg the lives of countless practitioners. From beginners to advanced students, here's what makes this academy stand out: Quality of Instruction: The instructors at Eddie Fyvie Jiu-Jitsu Academy are unparalleled in their expertise and teaching ability. Their dedication to imparting Jiu-Jitsu skills is evident in every class. Clean and Safe Environment: The facility is always impeccably clean and well-maintained, creating a safe and hygienic space for training. This commitment to hygiene was particularly crucial during the pandemic, and it's why they remained open when others couldn't. Curriculum and Progression: The academy's curriculum is simply unmatched. It typically takes beginners one year of consistent training to have enough skill and knowledge to defend themselves against a bigger, stronger, faster opponent effectively in a street fight and earn a blue belt. In comparison, at other gyms, this can take anywhere from 2-5 years or more. This rapid progression is a testament to their exceptional curriculum and instruction. I've traveled the world for Jiu-Jitsu training, and I can confidently say that the Eddie Fyvie Jiu-Jitsu Academy curriculum is the best I've come across. It is evident with how good practitioners get quickly. Class Schedule: Eddie Fyvie Jiu-Jitsu Academy offers a class for everyone. They have an over 40s class, beginner classes, advanced classes, a boxing program, a Muay Thai class coming soon, and, most importantly, the best-rated kids' program around. This is why I chose to enroll my son here, and it's also why I chose to coach kids at this academy. The dedication to kids' development is truly remarkable. It's one of the main reasons we transferred here from another gym - The Kids Program! Student-Teacher Interaction: The student-teacher ratio here is the best around. More advanced students and coaches are always on hand to assist in every class, ensuring that you receive the individualized attention you need to excel. The lineage is the best around. Professor Eddie is connected to legends with lessons from Rickson Gracie, Henry Akins, Matt Thornton, and Chris Haueter. You will find no other pure Jiu-Jitsu; this is its purest and most traditional BJJ form around. Community and Camaraderie: The academy fosters a strong sense of community through events, seminars, and social activities. It's not just a place to train; it's a family. Price and Value: The pricing is fair and offers incredible value for the high-quality instruction and environment provided. They even offer trial classes so you can experience it for yourself. Facility Amenities: The academy has convenient amenities like changing rooms and two separate rooms/mats, making it hassle-free to train. Communication and Updates: They keep students well-informed through regular communication, whether it's through newsletters, emails, or social media updates. Flexibility and Adaptation: At first, during the pandemic, Eddie Fyvie Jiu-Jitsu Academy swiftly adapted by offering both live and online classes. This adaptability ensured that students could continue their training in a safe and flexible manner. My Success Story: I can't express how much the Eddie Fyvie Jiu-Jitsu Academy has impacted my life positively. Since transferring here, I've not only honed my Jiu-Jitsu skills to my highest capabilities but also gained a newfound sense of self-confidence and discipline. I relearned all fundamentals here coming from a competition gym. My Jiu-Jitsu requires much less effort for maximum effectiveness, and it's strictly due to the instruction I received here. The instructors here have been instrumental in my growth, providing guidance that goes beyond the mats. I've not only become a more skilled martial artist but also a better person. Thank you, Professor Eddie, for being the catalyst for my personal transformation. Your care extends beyond the mats and has been extremely helpful. Your dedication and support truly exemplify the spirit of Eddie Fyvie Jiu-Jitsu Academy."

"I inquired about signing my daughter up for classes and within 24 hours I had someone reaching out to me answering all of my questions. They let her come to one free class to make sure it was something she wanted to do. After that initial class, she loved it and we immediately signed her up. The instructors were patient and not only taught holds and moves during class but also important life lessons, such as respect, self confidence, and kindness to those around them. I am so happy we found the Eddie Fyvie Academy for my daughter and look forward to seeing what she is capable of!"

"Jiu jitsu has been an amazing experience for my daughter. She began studying at age 10 and is now 13. She has gained confidence and a keen sense of awareness in her surroundings. Self defense require both physical and mental toughness paired with strategy. Eddie Fyvie commands attention with a calm demeanor and thought provoking questions to his students. Real world scenarios and how to respond to them is an invaluable tool to have at any age! Highly recommend, every instructor is phenomenal!"
