Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ) is a grappling-based martial art that was mastered by the Gracie family in Brazil. BJJ focuses on using multiple dominating positions, submission techniques, wrestling, and judo techniques in order to successfully get an opponent to the ground and immobilize them, thus rendering the opponent defenseless.
Maxum's Kickboxing program is taught by our world-class coaches: Shawn Gastaldo and Lenox Chance. A typical class starts out with a dynamic warm-up specifically designed to increase the heart rate and prepare the body for the training to come. After the warm-up, students will drill techniques shown by one of our instructors on either the heavy bags or the hand-held pads.
At Pro-Ex, we believe in a simple and proven wrestling philosophy: keep it simple and outwork your opponent. We adopt a physical, technical, in-your-face, collegiate style of wrestling. We feel that if you master the method in which college wrestlers prepare and perform then it will certainly improve your high school and college wrestling development and overall experience.
All of the techniques shown in our children's program are designed to help children gain self-confidence. We help our students apply that self-confidence and important BJJ skills in what they learn every day in order to protect themselves and/or to compete.
Other aspects of our classes include the proper way to handle being approached by or speaking to strangers, how to get a hold of the police, knowing your address and telephone numbers, how to identify a potentially dangerous situation, etc.To avoid any injuries, all children's classes start with a warm-up consisting of a series of exercises and drills.

I have trained at a few places before i came across Maxum bjj. It didn’t take long for owners Joe and Alex to make me to feel welcome or even part of the family. High level instructions with great training partners that will push you beyond your limits. Even the Lennox gives a very detailed Muay Thai and kickboxing class. I always feel at home when i go to Maxum bjj.

I start training Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu here during the Month of May, 2017. The staff was very welcoming along with the members of the gym. I learned and progressed in the art of "BJJ" during my time here. I was never afraid to ask a question during class because the atmosphere was very welcoming and full of learning. The instructors were also very accommodating with my hearing loss by speaking loudly and clearly. This gym provided me a foundation to begin building upon the skill.
Lot's to learn and plenty of people to meet. Highly recommended for anyone within the Long Island area looking to learn
