Hamptons Jiu Jitsu

Hamptons Jiu Jitsu is led by Greg Melita, an IBJJF-certified third degree black belt with over two decades of experience in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and other combat sports. Greg founded the academy to bring a high level of technical instruction and real mentorship to Southampton and the surrounding East End. The coaching staff features a range of black belts from diverse lineages—including Rich Byrne, a two-time IBJJF Masters No-Gi World Champion and black belt under John Danaher, and Vinicius Carmo, who received his black belt from Greg Melita. The team’s varied backgrounds ensure students encounter a blend of traditional and modern jiu-jitsu, with teaching styles that emphasize both fundamentals and advanced strategies. Training at Hamptons Jiu Jitsu covers both gi and no-gi formats, with a clear path for beginners through structured fundamentals classes. Students can progress to intermediate and advanced sessions as their skills develop. The academy also offers dedicated youth programs, taught separately from adult classes, where kids build confidence and discipline on the mats. For those interested in a broader martial arts experience, the schedule includes Muay Thai, judo, and wrestling, allowing practitioners to round out their standup and grappling skills without leaving the facility. Private lessons are available for students seeking more personalized instruction. The Southampton location, inside Southampton Gym on County Road 39A, is wheelchair accessible and draws students from across the Hamptons, including Hampton Bays and Cutchogue. Hamptons Jiu Jitsu also supports the local area through youth camps and scholarship programs, connecting kids with martial arts and other recreational opportunities. The academy’s mix of experienced coaches and diverse programming makes it a fixture for martial artists looking to train seriously in the East End.
