From the reviews

Since I have been coming to the YESS boxing club, my boxing skills have improved tremendously. It is because the coaches honestly care about the progress of their fighters.

★★★★★ — Daniel, Jan 2021

We visited NJ to hang out with my son and this was the first stop. His sister and I came to watch him Spar. The owner Joe came over to us and introduced himself and was very personable. The instructors really focused on boxing form and safety. The boxing vibe in there was really great!

★★★★★ — Precious, Oct 2024

Real barbell gym are few and far in between and boxing gyms are even more rare to find. The Yess Boxing and Barbell Club is a certified USA Boxing gym. The expertise of the staff in strength, conditioning, and even nutrition is top notch.

★★★★★ — Youngmahn, Aug 2018

This place is a real boxing gym with top notch instruction. I have a background in Brazilian jiu jitsu and my buddy reccomended I try this out. It was exactly what I needed to bring my skills to the next level. If you are interested in competing or just self defense this school is exactly what you need.

Your first BJJ class at The YESS Boxing Club

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.
