New Classes & Times
We’re excited to announce 4 new classes / times! starting this thursday, november 7, We will now offer:
two 9am jiujitsu classes - one on tuesday and one on thursday.
two strength & mobility classes - one at 5:30pm on monday and another at 10am on friday.
Our new morning jiujitsu classes are nogi, 60 minutes, and all levels (beginners welcome) - the same as all of our jiujitsu classes.
strength and mobility is a 45 minute class designed for ANYONE (this is not a martial arts class) interested in increasING their functional strength, mobility, and FITNESS LEVEL. students will be guided through a variety of movements including calisthenic exercises, yoga flows/postures, partner exercises/drills, and functional movements INSPIRED BY martial arts. Movements, and the class in general, are designed to be modifiable in order to accommodate a wide variety of fitness levels and abilities. we focus on building strength and resilience around major joints and muscle groups that tend to see a decline in performance as we age. among the other physical and mental benefits, strength and mobility classes at Jade fortress martial arts are a proactive step you can take to protect your body from strain and injury. This is also an excellent class for martial artists who are looking to get stronger, increase their range of motion, and improve their stamina for combat sports. no equipment is required and We hope to move with you soon!
See our updated schedule for reference and reach out if you have any questions.
see you on the mats!

We’re Moving!
It all begins with an idea.
AFTER SIX MONTHS IN OUR FIRST LOCATION IN FORT GREENE, BROOKLYN, on october 11, 2024 WE ARE MOVING TO WILLIAMSBURG (ALSO BROOKLYN), ABOUT A BLOCK FROM THE GRAHAM AVENUE L TRAIN! WE ARE VERY EXCITED TO SETTLE IN TO OUR NEW SPACE; WE HOPE YOU’LL COME DROP IN, AND IF YOU LIVE IN THE AREA (OR KNOW SOMEONE WHO DOES), MAKE SURE YOU ADD US TO YOUR ADDRESS BOOK AS THE FIRST/ONLY/BEST MARTIAL ARTS GYM IN THAT PARTICULAR NEIGHBORHOOD. (INCIDENTALLY, THE NAME “JADE FORTRESS” WAS DERIVED FROM FORT GREENE, BUT RATHER THAN CHANGE OUR NAME TO FORT WILLIAM OR WILLIAM FORTRESS OR SOMETHING, WE’LL BE KEEPING THE JF.)
