I've been a member at SPAR since just after they opened and I can't say enough good things about it. If you are looking to get stronger, healthier, learn some self-defense, and have fun with great people you have to check it out. The instructors are amazing, the lockers and mats are always clean and overall it is a positive nurturing environment. For just over the past year I've been taking the Brazilian jiu-jitsu classes and I am hooked. The program has grown from just a few guys to full classes every day. Check it out.

Absolutely amazing! I've always wanted to try self defense classes, this was the perfect opportunity for me and I'm so glad I did it at SPAR! I look forward to class all week and I can't say enough good things about the gym, coaches/staff, and the life saving skills they teach. The skills and techniques are simple so anyone can do them but they have a huge impact! I feel so empowered, thrilled and exhilarated after every single class!!

Spar is outstanding. This gym is not intimidating at all for newbies, and the instructors push you just enough to get yourself to the next level. Very friendly place!

Great place to train! Super clean, tons of mat space and great instructors! If you are looking to do BJJ (Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu) in the Buffalo area this place should be at the top of your list!

SPAR is an excellent self defense school. My son and I take and highly recommend the Jiu Jitsu and Krav programs.

I recently started going to SPAR in the fall of 2017 to continue my hunger for combat sports. I as a college student on a tight budget and time schedule SPAR was a great overall pick to start BJJ and Boxing. Their Brazilian Jiu Jitsu class that is part of the GFT is taught by a black belt. Matt is amazing and I can't wait to start competing. Brandon the boxing coach is amazing to work with and to learn from. Once I have a car (as a currently bike) I will join the Krav Maga or MMA classes as this high quality gym has so much to offer.

Love the jiu-jitsu program. For someone just starting out it’s great to be able to learn from quality instructors, and train with people who really enjoy the sport.

Professor Matt is a high level black belt and a great guy on and off the mat. He rolls with everyone and is willing to help anyone. He has great stuff for new people and has a great record for competitive students. Leads by example and even loves pizza! Must visit for BJJ in Buffalo..

I came here a few weeks ago with my friend who was visiting home for a week. He has been doing Jiu-Jitsu for a year now and convinced me to go check out this gym with him while he was here. Look, I am no expert so I asked my friend what his thoughts were as he travels a lot and has trained in many gyms. He was impressed with the teaching methods, attention to students and technique, and very impressed with how clean it was. I took his advice and signed up.
It has only been a few weeks now but I am already absolutely hooked. The staff are amazing, the people are fantastic and the exercise and practical knowledge you get from this are invaluable. I only do the Jiu-Jitsu classes and if you are new to BJJ like me, this is a fantastic place to train and learn. I can't speak for the other classes that are taught...but one visit here and you'll see how much everybody loves training here. See you when you get here!
