Some of the Jungle Gym family after a hard day of training
My name is Justin “Chim-Chim” Garcia. I own and operate Jungle Gym Martial Arts here in Yonkers, and for years I’ve worked my tail off trying to help our kids beat the streets.
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu has been tried and tested in martial arts tournaments for decades, and most recent in no-holds barred promotions like the UFC. The reason why I use Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu as the basis for my Kids MMA program is because with Jiu-Jitsu you can control a situation
Without the use of violence!
With a curriculum focusing on position control and escapes, The Jungle Gym will teach your child how to “push someone away” or “hold someone down” as a first resort, rather than the barbaric “gauge him in the eyes/kick him in the groin” approach that most traditional martial arts take.
In our Kids MMA program, violence is taught to be avoided at all costs, and minimized when necessary.
In an ever-growing world of lawsuits and zero-tolerance policies, we understand the need to equip our children with the right tools to defend themselves. Why teach them brutal, destructive techniques that can’t be trained full force, when Jiu-jitsu is safer and more effective anyway?
We don’t cater to the natural athletes or the “Coach’s kid” here. At the Jungle Gym we know that every child can be a champion…. And we are committed to give each one of them the attention and instruction to bring out their best.

Guidance at the Jungle Gym—early and often!
Let’s save our kids from the streets!
The Jungle Gym has battled to help kids beat the streets for years. It’s the combination of our award-winning Life Skills Program and our commitment to making kids succeed that has us winning the “War against quitting!”
Life is hard and our kids need the tools to help them get over the hump. The numbers speak for themselves:
More than Half of NY’s high school students DROP OUT!
Most kids who don’t drop out take more than 4 years to graduate
Private schools average $15 thousand a year!
Now don’t get me wrong, great parenting can go a long way, but in our age of single parent households—or with two parents who are forced to work to try and get ahead, not every parent has the time to think straight, let alone spend the hours a day necessary to instill major life skills like:
Discipline
Perseverance
Determination
Teamwork
