Royce Gracie Academy of Glastonbury

"Excellent members and owners! A variety of classes offered throughout the week for different focuses as well as the option for private classes. I've been taking privates and it has really advanced my learning (not just one-on-one you get two instructors for an hour). The group sessions are always fun... good people every night. Royce Gracie himself has come out and trained with us which is always a tremendous experience. If you are considering Jiu-Jitsu or self-defense I would highly recommend giving this academy a try."

"Went for a free class and was given the warmest welcome i have ever had in a martial arts environment or sport environment in general, they are super happy to stop by and give you extra advice during drills if you need it. From the very first class you attend you will learn BJJ basics unlike many other academy’s. They even offered me another free class to be sure its something im interested in before i sign up which was also very kind of them to do! All around a great gym with great people who know what they are doing."

"Great experience! The dojo is clean and bright, all of the other students I met were really friendly and welcoming, and the instructors are great! The instructors got their black belts from Royce Gracie (the legendary winner of UFC 1, 2, and 4) and teach his self-defense curriculum. The techniques are efficient, and the instructors helped me move through the sequences at my own pace. I'm totally hooked and I am really looking forward to continuing my Jiu-Jitsu training here!"

"I had individual instruction in self defense at Royce Gracie Academy of Glastonbury. Kate and Rick are careful, patient, and excellent instructors in self-defense education and techniques. I came away with valuable self-defense "tools" and an understanding of my physical limitations! Their facilities are beautifully maintained, as well."
