AMA Brazilian Jiu Jitsu & Muay Thai

I have been training over a year at this place, it changed my life, best gym in Nj. I lost more than 20 pounds, I’m in best shape of my life. Thanks to AMA for that. Coach Spider is very knowledgeable Instructor and very friendly. He makes every single class interesting and fun. They also offer awesome Brazilian jiu-jitsu classes. Try a trial class, you won’t regret it.

Amazing atmosphere and great people. Highly recommend for everyone at any level of experience and any age. From beginners to advanced athletes skilled in any martial art, there’s a class for everyone. An amazing team to be apart no doubt.

My kids attend Jui Jitsu and Muay Thai classes at AMA. The instructors and staff are AMAZING. Stripes/belts for jui jitsu are earned and not just handed out, and muay thai is giving them so much strength and confidence. Definitely recommend!

I just gotta tell ya about this super cool BJJ & Muay Thai martial arts school I found in Morristown! It’s like a big adventure playground where you get to learn awesome moves and make lots of new friends! First off, the coaches there are so professional . They’re so nice and patient, and they really know their stuff. They show you all these cool moves step by step, and they make sure you’re having a blast while learning. And the other members there are very welcoming. Everyone is cheering each other on, helping each other get better, and having a great time together. It feels like a big family! So if you wanna have a workout, learn self defence,make awesome friends, and have a ton of fun, this BJJ & Muay Thai school is the place to be. Trust me, you’re gonna love it!

AMA is a serious, but welcoming community of people trying to learn, compete, and have fun! Professor Helwig’s BJJ program is exceptional and full of dynamic and diverse competitors at all skill levels. The same is true about coach Spyda’s Muay Thai program. Seasoned mixed martial artists and those just looking to begin their journey would benefit greatly by checking out AMA fight club!

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.

This school has a place for everyone, whether you're a seasoned competitor/fighter or just the average person looking for an excellent work out while developing a new skill. The environment is very welcoming to all new comers. The facility is brand new, very clean and offers a tremendous mat space. The instruction given by Professor Helwig is second to none, If you're serious about taking this sport up this is the guy you need to train under to become the best version of yourself on the mat.

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 moved here from out of state, it's hard meeting people & making friends as an adult. I Joined Ama to get a good work out in but fell in love with this gym. The community is everything & instruction. I've learned so much & I consider the people here at AMA family. This gym has everything you're looking for!

I have been a member at AMA for 7 years now, and I honestly don't know if I could imagine my life with out AMA, Helwig, Carl, Anthony and the group of training partners I have shared since joining. Helwig has the unique teaching skill of being able to relate complex concepts in an easily digestible structure to elevate skills of anyone who trains. Combined with finding what motivates each student and tactfully pushing them. Learning Brazilian Jiu Jitsu will never feel so individualized in a group setting. Additionally, the other black belts Carl and Anthony both instructors, provide great wealth of knowledge and experience. The combined knowledge of these 3 has greatly influenced and grown my skills. The philosophy of AMA is simple; full resistance training. Making sure what you learn can be applied to situations where there is no complying partner/opponent, translating directly to real world application. There is no better place to train in the area if you are looking to get learn Brazilian Jiu Jitsu

State of the art facility welcoming to everyone from brand new beginners to professional level athletes. Kids classes with a great instructor-to-student ratio, top level instruction for the teens and adults, and a growing women's program makes AMA the place to train for anybody. I'm a proud part of the team since 2016- easily the best decision of my martial arts journey.

If you're looking to learn jiu jitsu in the North Jersey area AMA is the place to be. The entire AMA staff is extremely welcoming and truly want to see you progress as a martial artist. Each class is run with extreme attention to detail and the curriculum is constantly updated as the sport of jiu jitsu develops. You will not find an authentic jiu jitsu experience like AMA anywhere else in the area. I have been training at AMA for a little over two years now and and I couldn't imagine training anywhere else.

Excellent training in an encouraging environment. Jonathan Helwig (Jamie Cruz Jiu Jitsu black belt) is extremely attentive to all of his students, and breaks down his curriculum that's easily digestible for beginners and advanced students alike. You will learn jiu jitsu in its purest form, in a friendly but serious training environment. Whether you're a competitor, aspiring MMA fighter, hobbyist, looking to learn self-defense, or general fitness--there's a place for everyone at AMA.
