I've trained at a few places for jiu jitsu and kickboxing/mauy Thai . This is the best spot to learn jiu jitsu, coach mark is a really good guy and has alot to offer his team. By far the best choice I've ever made was training here.

The best of the best.
The best of the best.
Family oriented and great Sensei. Great classes and instruction.

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've been doing jujitsu for 17 months and lost a total of 58 pounds going 3 times a week, and changing my diet to what my coach prescribed. Love it my son and I roll together it's a great family experience,
All these negative comments really make you think don't they? Go to golden falcon gym. Half of the OG renzo members are there and they will tell you how mark operates. If Renzo Gracie found out how this gym operates pretty sure it won't be nice, very prestigious BJJ and MMA name but this is how this gym operates? Hmm.. really makes you think doesn't it?
The owner is a really great coach, and one of the best bjj teachers in the state, if not the country. He is not, however, a good manager or business man. There is very little stability with the coaches at this place, who end up leaving due to issues with being paid. Monthly membership is at the higher end, even when you negotiate a lower price than advertise when you sign up for your first contract. Once your year is up the gym automatically renews your membership at a higher price without notifying you of the increase, which can add north of $50 a month automatically deducted from the account you have signed up from. Cancelling membership can be a pain as well, and if the owner is around when you try to cancel he will come up to you and ask why you're "quitting" and be passive aggressive about it. He doesn't understand it is business, and takes it personal. Instead of being understanding and thankful I have given him and his gym over a thousand dollars of my hard earned money, he decides to conduct himself in such a childish and dishonorable way. For a guy who is very accomplished in bjj and claims to be alpha, he is very insecure at times. The gym will advertise random "half-off memberships and remaining balance" sales, which I find very suspicious and I suspect this may be done because the gym and/or the owner needs quick cash to pay the bills to keep the gym running. On the plus side, the students, fighters, and teachers there are all great people and not one bad thing can be said about them. If you're looking for a gym to train, there are other gyms which cost half as much without having to give away your bank account number or signing a contract with.
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!

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 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.
