I've trained all over Connecticut and this place is by far the most welcoming and has the best instructors I've learned from so far. What makes Renzo Gracie's different is you can tell right away that they take serious pride in making sure you improve and have fun doing it. They have a mentality that I haven't seen anywhere, when you join their gym, you're almost family to them and they take great pride in helping you achieve your goals.

My daughter has been training at this gym for about a year now and the results are outstanding! She has grown so much: both physically and mentally. The coaches truly care about each student as they have fostered a genuine relationship with her. Not to mention, they thoroughly prepared her for her first amateur Muay Thai fight as she came out with the unanimous decision victory. The family atmosphere is undeniably present in this facility as the entire team motivates, challenges, and supports one another.

I have been a student here for a more than a year. I have trained at two other gyms in Connecticut and this is easily the most high-quality training facilities in the area. The knowledge and attention given to you here is second to none. The camaraderie is unmistakable when you join from day one you are automatically treated as family, a very friendly, professional and welcoming environment. I recommend this place to people of all levels looking to get into mixed martial arts

I've been a member here for almost a year now and I can say it's one of the best decisions I ever made. I was a bit intimidated to join considering I had no previous Muay Thai or jiu jitsu experience but everyone, members and coaching staff alike was immediately warm, welcoming and very attentive, making me feel comfortable. The coaching staff is outstanding and really takes the time to make sure the students master the basics before moving on to advanced techniques. The head coach, Mark Cerrone is an excellent teacher and has over 20 years of training under Master Renzo Gracie himself! The amount I've learned in such a short period of time is truly a testament to the quality of the coaching at RGTF. Definitely the place to train BJJ and Muay Thai in CT!

Frequently Asked Questions

IS THERE A FREE TRIAL CLASS?

Absolutely. We invite all prospective students to try their first class free at Renzo Gracie Training Facility. It's the best way to experience our training environment, meet our coaches, and see if BJJ is right for you. No experience or equipment needed — comfortable athletic clothing is fine.

DO I NEED ANY EXPERIENCE TO START?

No experience necessary! Renzo Gracie Training Facility welcomes complete beginners. Our instructors break down every technique step by step, and our community is known for being welcoming and patient with new students. Everyone starts as a white belt, and that's exactly where you should start too.

WHAT SHOULD I WEAR TO MY FIRST CLASS?

For your first visit, comfortable athletic clothing works perfectly — a t-shirt and shorts or athletic pants. Once you commit to training regularly, you'll want to invest in a gi (kimono). Our coaches can recommend quality options at a range of price points.

HOW OFTEN SHOULD I TRAIN?

Most students at Renzo Gracie Training Facility train 2 to 3 times per week and see consistent progress. Showing up regularly matters far more than training intensely once in a while. We offer multiple class times throughout the week so you can find a schedule that fits your life.

DO YOU OFFER CLASSES FOR KIDS?

Yes! We offer dedicated programs for children and teens at Renzo Gracie Training Facility. Our youth classes focus on discipline, respect, confidence-building, and the fundamentals of BJJ in a safe, fun environment.
