What Our Students Say

Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.

Jesse Stone

"I have trained in Martial Arts for most of my life at many schools and both me and my son have trained at Manchester Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu off and on for well over a decade. I can say hands down this is the best facility to train at regardless of your goals. This is a professionally run, hygienic school, that offers a remarkable breadth of expertise, and class availability. The instructors are top notch both on and off the mats. More importantly, there is a strong sense of community and a welcoming environment for new comers, both child and adult. All in all, I cannot recommend this school enough."

Robert Rivera

"Manchester BJJ is a great friend and family Jiu jitsu and mma gym for anyone who wants to learn the gentle art from great instructors. The environment is awesome for all ages and anyone who wants to train or compete. I Love the gym and the staff as well as the students hands down the best gym in the CT."

Jack Spessard

"I started off my jiu jitsu journey at Manchester BJJ through a Groupon and the desire to learn to defend myself. 5 years later and I’m so grateful to have found this gym! I can absolutely say that all of the coaches here have helped me gain a ton of confidence in life and in self defense situations. I even got to be an instructor for a little while myself and give back. If you’ve ever wanted to give jiu jitsu a try, I 100% recommend Bushido. Extremely welcoming to new people and just a great community overall!"

Tim Camerl

"Manchester BJJ is a great facility that thrives on respect, discipline, diversity and learning. The instructors are all great and quick to help. They are very welcoming to visitors to come train or answer any questions. The owner and Black Belt Instructor Rob Magao is very professional and extremely knowledgeable. His knowledge is trusted as he shares his experiences from a competitive perspective all the way to his real life applications. Manchester BJJ is a great place for kids and adults at any rank or experience level."
