"Jitsu Academy and all the coaches there are amazing. My son had been going here for about 3 years and they are great with the children. I started about a year ago and never had any regrets about it. I highly recommend jitsu Academy if you are looking for a play to train."
Paulie
"As a member of Jitsu Academy CT for a number of years now, I was pleased that they added a second location in Cromwell. The facility is brand new, clean and welcoming. As always, the group is very encouraging and it’s a great place to train Brazilian Jiu Jitsu regardless of your skill level or experience."
Jessica Arasimowicz Melluzzo
"If you are just getting into Jiu Jitsu or are looking for a new place to train, look no further. The culture and community that has been cultivated by the owners, Oswaldo and Erin, is the number one reason to come try this gym out. It is the norm at Jitsu Academy to see newbies learn and train alongside seasoned practitioners. Members train hard but there is no unhealthy competition amongst those that train here. No matter who steps through the doors, everyone is treated with respect and offered the opportunity to learn, grow, become stronger, and, ultimately, build confidence in themselves both in and outside of the sport. The knowledge and expertise housed in this gym, coupled with its welcoming and inviting atmosphere, makes Jitsu Academy THE place to be."
Michael Rodriguez
"A friendly, clean new place to learn jiu jitsu in the central Connecticut area. The coaches are all very welcoming of anyone regardless of skill level. Looking forward to training here more often. Absolutely recommend! 10/10."
