“He is an honorable competitor and businessman.”
From the reviews
Brian, the owner and head instructor has unquestionable integrity. He is an honorable competitor and businessman. If you don’t believe him, ask anyone in the MMA community about Brian or his student’s character. The best part about training at Precision MMA is the atmosphere.
Everyone at Precision MMA is really helpful from the staff to the coaches. I get a great workout and feel like I learn something new every time I'm on the mat. The people at Precision have become some of my best friends, I can't say enough good things about this gym.
Precision MMA is the best. Why? Wrestling Coach that competed in the Atlanta Olympic Games, two other NCAA DIV 1 wrestling coaches, Judo coach Black Belt, Golden Gloves Boxing Coach, Muay Thai Champion that trains at AMA with several UFC fighters, including the Miller brothers, and BJJ black belt Brian Mclaughlin.
New to BJJ? Start at Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) Classes in Poughkeepsie / Hudson Valley
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) Classes in Poughkeepsie / Hudson Valley comes up as a beginner-friendly gym — noted on their own site. 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 Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) Classes in Poughkeepsie / Hudson Valley
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.
