From the reviews

Enrolled my son Liam into karate because it's the only thing he ever told me he was interested in. As soon as we walked in we were welcomed and felt like part of the family. Liam absolutely loves it and has made so much progress with his attitude and behavior already!

Just signed up for a 12-month program. So far, so good. **Update** I am coming up on 2 years of training at Cosens. I have dropped almost 200 lbs since then. I live a much healthier lifestyle now. They played a huge part in my results. Training at Cosens has pushed me tremendously physically and mentally.

Our son just started karate at Cosens Flushing location and absolutely loves it. It has already changed so much in a positive manner for him. It’s helping him gain confidence and focus. Coach Sanback and Coach Diem are amazing with the children. From moment one, Coach Sanback has helped change our son’s outlook.

★★★★★ — Jaclyn, Oct 2022

Great place all around! I have my 7 year old daughter in their 8-12 class, and the coaches are real mentors to the youngsters. They teach them about self discipline, self confidence, respect for others as well as self defense. I would recommend Cosens to anyone trying to get their child in an extra curricular activity.

New to BJJ? Start at Cosens Martial Arts Flushing LLC

Cosens Martial Arts Flushing LLC 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 Cosens Martial Arts Flushing LLC

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.

BJJ is a contact sport. Ease in, tap early and often, listen to your coaches, and if you have any injuries or health concerns, mention them before class and check with a doctor if you're unsure.
