Coach Len Sonia has been in the martial arts most of his life — over 20 years in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Muay Thai. He believes in martial arts training for everyone, and that philosophy is at the heart of everything at Dojo 1.
Len holds a 3rd Degree Black Belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu under the Relson Gracie lineage. Dojo 1 is a proud member of the Team Balance family — the same network founded by Phil and Ricardo Migliarese out of Philadelphia. The lineage runs straight back through the Gracie family: Helio Gracie → Relson Gracie → the Migliarese brothers → right here to the mats in New Hartford.
He's also trained directly with Erik Paulson — founder of Combat Submission Wrestling (CSW) and first American Shooto World Champion. That experience shapes how the team trains at Dojo 1 — blending traditional BJJ with real-world grappling and striking.
Whether you want to compete, get in shape, learn self-defense, or just need something that challenges you — Dojo 1 is where you belong. Come in and give it a chance. Let's do great things together.
A lot of gyms teach martial arts. Very few change your life. Here's why Dojo 1 stands apart.
Every membership includes full access to all classes and programs — BJJ, Muay Thai, MMA, and more. Train as much as you want, 7 days a week.
Dojo 1 represents the Relson Gracie lineage and Team Balance. Over 20 years of direct experience, not a weekend certification. You're learning from someone who has lived this art.
Beginners, competitors, parents, kids, law enforcement. We focus on every person who walks through our door. MMA isn't for everyone — but the martial arts are. And we are the martial arts.
Every plan includes unlimited attendance to all classes and programs. No hidden fees. Straightforward pricing.
