Hamptons Jiu Jitsu

History

Brazilian jiu jitsu is a growing sport on the East End, thanks to Greg Melita and Hamptons Jiu Jitsu. In addition to doubling the mat space, which was the key reason for the moving to their new location, to make room for the school's students, the new location has a number of new features, including full men's and women's locker rooms with a bathroom and shower in each one. Melita, the sole owner and professor at Hamptons Jiu Jitsu, is well versed in Brazilian jiu jitsu. He has been training in the martial arts for over 20 years and received his black belt in Jiu-Jitsu five years ago. He is also a fifth degree black belt in Isshinryu Karate and a first degree black belt in Judo. After he helped train new recruits at the U.S. Marines Corps base in Garden City in hand-to-hand combat in 2004 and 2005, Melita won a bronze medal at the U.S. Open in 2007, to add to what is a long list of accolades. Melita is also a certified personal trainer, and Sports Performance coach.
