About Us
Report
Deep in the Heights at the MMA gym, Urban Jungle, you will learn more about yourself than you could know, from the inside out, to your sweat covered gloves. Owners Tony and Michelle Torres-Aponte have poured their knowledge and spirit into this gym for the last 13 years, but the story behind their success has been in the making for over two decades.
Adult Training
Report
Jiu-Jitsu means 'the gentle art' and it is truly a complete martial art. This discipline teaches complete self defense in that it uses not only physical preparation, but also trains you in the mental aspect of combat and conflict. The application of traditional Gracie Jiu-Jitsu transcends the application of chokes, joint locks, immobilizations, throws and strikes.
