Macarra Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Norwich

"It’s hard to put into words how much I love bjj and specifically this school. Charlie is a humble and knowledgeable coach/instructor welcoming and encouraging all his students to be the best they are capable of. He also makes opportunities for guest instructors and seminars by other high level bjj practitioners. My teammates are equally supportive of each other wanting to make sure we are all growing and learning. I’ve been training here for five years and it’s consistently awesome. As a female it’s intimidating to walk into a room of dudes and try to choke and break each other for an hour but I have never once felt uncomfortable or unsafe here."

"The staff at Macarra BJJ Norwich are professional grade. The classes meet everyone’s needs. The facility is always clean and has open doors to the public. I’ve trained martial arts my entire life and I confidently suggest anyone in eastern Connecticut interested in BJJ come give Professor Charlie McShane and his team a try. You won’t regret it."

"I've been coming to this school for over 7 years now, and it's an incredible place to train! The instrucrion is grade A. They really break down every move they teach and it's repped and built upon slowly as to get the moved ingrained. The camaraderie built with the people you train with is awesome as well. You don't have all the egos you see at some places. Everyone is always willing to help out!"

"Been going here for a little over a year now and have had nothing but great experiences here. BJJ was something that i wanted to try for years and my only regret about this school is not starting sooner."
