Coaches Michael Acevedo & Hector Martinez have been teaching tumbling together since 2021 but training together as athletes since way before. In June 2026 they began their first class  for a sport called Tricking. It's what truly set their hearts to flame. Teaching freestyle martial arts mixed with everything they know from the world of tumbling was the perfect blend of movement to support the gym they dreamed of having. After finding a unique warehouse space in Middletown, NJ right next to Red Bank that was affordable.. the vision became tangible. Questions were asked & answered. Money, Time, Energy, Love, Pain, Joy & lots of thought were invested intro transforming a dusty single outlet warehouse space intro the training environment of their dreams. They both live with the goal to teach & train the art of movement as best as they can, while they can. Jersey Tricking Academy was created to be that place to have a proper private training experience.
