Ray Longo's Mixed Martial Arts

There is a Godfather of MMA On Long Island, and if you haven't known of him, now you do. His name is Ray Longo, Everybody knows that he has had 4 UFC Champions, but it's not just his genius in the Arts its the fact that he cares about everyone that walks into his Gym. He treats everyone the same. You have world class training right here, and he's on the Premises every day, not in Acapulco. Best thing about Ray is that he not only makes champions but he wants everybody to be a winner outside the Cage..I consider myself beyond fortunate to be a part of this gym🙏

Great environment if you want to learn , everybody here actually cares and goes the extra mile to show you how to improve . Staff is super experienced and beyond informative . The students help each other constantly improve . Hands down best gym on LI . If you are looking to get in shape build confidence and improve your overall life sign up here you won’t regret it.

This place is legit whatever your goals are here you will get better by being consistent and showing up to train. Even if you’re a beginner and you have no idea what you’re doing everyone here is willing to help from the coaches to the more experienced members at the gym. I recommend anyone who wants to learn martial arts or grow as a martial artist to come to Longo’s MMA

Longo’s MMA is AMAZING!!! The Ultimate MMA Gym offering the best mix of modern training yet maintaining the old school boxing gym aura.

At any given time there are active UFC Fighters training on the mats with newcomers to the sport and a variety of other professional and amateur fighters. There is no pressure for anyone to spar, however, it is fantastic to be able to train with a large group of people who actively fight. Everyone is friendly and eager to help each other. For a new person entering the gym, if you are a bit shy it might seem like people are not friendly. This is not the case and instead everyone is very focused on their training and many have partners that they usually train with. Be brave, introduce yourself and anyone in the gym will help you in any way.

I have trained in many great schools but this gym is something else, to be a part of a Legendary Fight Team is exciting. Even if you decide not to step into the cage, attending a fighting event and cheering for your fellow Teammates is invigorating.

It is amazing how many UFC Fighters I have met at the gym in a short time. One week I came in and UFC Champ Merab was in the cage, a week after his Title Defense, helping Coach Phumi prepare for his upcoming fight which he won. A few days later UFC Champ, Professor Matt Serra was in the gym and the list goes on and on. Walking into the gym is like being in a UFC video game. It is truly a humbling honor to train on the mats and in the cage sharing the blood, sweat and tears of some of the greatest UFC Fighters.

All the Coaches are phenomenal. Coach Longo is the G-d Father of MMA Coaching. I know he cringes when he hears this because he is a humble man. However, if the UFC steps up and creates an MMA Coach Hall of Fame, Coach Longo will be the first to be honored.

I have only been training at the gym for 4 months but I feel like I am at home. It is amazing that while the fighters are proud, they are humble and not arrogant. This is because fighters test themselves and losses happen. One learns and grows from the experience as a fighter and person. Over the years I have found that the martial artists who display arrogance and excessive ego are the ones who never fought but talk like they have. I have not met anyone like this at the gym and am grateful for it.

As a 46 year old Father with two Amazing Kids, I still fit in with the younger practitioners. I appreciate their patience as I regain my stamina. Each class I am able to exert more and more and am now able to attend back to back classes. There is so much to learn and I am grateful that I found my second home. The amount of positive support and encouragement is profound.

I am approaching 53 years old and felt I was losing a lot of my reflex skills and overall energy. As a birthday present to myself, I decided to join a martial arts gym. I did a lot of research and Longo’s Mixed Martial Arts was known to be a good reputable school. I decided to give the class a try. My worst fear is that I would go into an environment where I would get hurt because of my lack of experience. My first class was pleasantly surprising. The instructors and very experienced members knew that I was new and took a lot of time teaching me and improving my skills. After a couple of weeks, I made a lot of improvements and my confidence grew as I learned new skills. My energy has improved greatly and I now look forward to attending classes as much as possible. My approaching 53 is now feeling like a younger 40 with quicker reflexes and more energy.
