From the reviews
Visiting from Ecuador, I had a fantastic experience training here. Coach Tim and the team are incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and foster a great environment for high-quality, hard training. The facility is a standout gym in Westchester, offering convenient on-site parking and highly affordable rates.
I've been training at Alpha MMA Gym for about a month, and as someone who wanted to start BJJ and MMA, I can confidently say this place is on another level. What immediately struck me was the incredible leadership from coaches Tim and Mike.
From the moment I walked in, I felt like family. The instructors here aren't just world-class athletes-they're world-class people. They teach with passion, patience, and a deep respect for the art of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
Alpha MMA & Jiu-Jitsu Port Chester has been such a positive experience for our family. Tim is incredibly kind, patient, and supportive, and has been especially wonderful with our boys (ages 8 & 4). The environment is welcoming, encouraging, and truly focused on helping kids grow both on and off the mat.
New to BJJ? Start at Alpha MMA & Jiu-Jitsu Port Chester
Alpha MMA & Jiu-Jitsu Port Chester comes up as a beginner-friendly gym, going by their listing and members’ reviews. If you've never rolled or set foot on a mat, that's exactly who a good beginners program is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit or flexible to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and coaches scale the intensity to you. Second, you won't be thrown into hard rolling — reputable gyms build fundamentals (positions, escapes, and basic submissions) for weeks, live rolling eases in gradually, and tapping early keeps every roll safe. Third, all levels really are welcome — ask about a dedicated beginners or fundamentals class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out, and leave your ego at the door. Most gyms are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
Your first BJJ class at Alpha MMA & Jiu-Jitsu Port Chester
Nervous about walking into a BJJ gym for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good coaches expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling basic positions and escapes with a partner — not hard sparring. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: athletic wear you can move in (or a gi if you have one); you'll train barefoot on the mats. What to bring: water and a mouthguard if you have one — many gyms lend a loaner gi for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gi (or a rashguard and shorts for no-gi) and a mouthguard. Live rolling eases in gradually, once your fundamentals are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the coach. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
