I live in Oregon and am from NYC originally. Dude, you MUST stop by Renzo Gracie academy in Midtown and take one of Jon Danagher's classes. Its insane. Easily one of the gnarliest mats with crazy killers I've been on. Marcelo's is cool too. The Alliance boys in the in the east village train really hard and Fabio Clemente is a trip to learn from. To be honest though; probably the friendliest gym I've experienced for a drop in is Vitor Shaolin academy in midtown. Have a blast man
!!!! (Also go have a beer at Fat Cats on Christopher and Seventh for me, its underground, you'll thank me afterwards).
