Sensei Marti is a fantastic Instructor and very nice guy..it is no suprise that he has such a loyal and dedicated student base. The Dojo ( located in a beautiful, safe strip mall ) is clean, spacious, and beautifully decorated with custom Japanese themed artwork that is created by Sensei Marti himself. There is a strong Family Vibe and great energy put out by this Dojo..as a matter of fact many of his students that I had the pleasure of training with were Parent / Child duos. Congratulations to Sensei Marti and enjoy continued success..OSU!

From the moment you step through the door, you're greeted with genuine kindness and a sense of belonging that extends throughout the entire academy. Sensei goes above and beyond to foster a positive environment, not just for the students but for the entire family. They offer not only top-notch martial arts instruction but also a generous spirit that extends to everyone who wishes to learn can do so without barriers. The academy blends discipline with a sense of fun, making each class an enjoyable experience for all ages. I love that my children get life lessons along with their instruction, such a "you do good, you get good" and other lessons about listening to parents and teachers. If you take classes here, you'll leave not only with improved martial arts skills but also with a newfound sense of community, confidence and well-being!

I've been hooked ever since. The facility is clean and well-kept, the instructors are awesome and very patient, and the other members are great. I don't know what other BJJ gyms are like but I can't imagine finding one better than this one. There are young and old, females and males and all different skill levels and they're all super humble and helpful. Highly recommend giving this place a try. You won't regret it!

When you think of American Top Team you may think of popular names such as Jorge Masvidal, Dustin…read morePoirier, or Amanda Nunes. But when I think of American Top Team in Connecticut, there is no name bigger than Luigi Mondelli. He is greatly respected in the martial arts community and has many accolades to his name. You will most definitely want to attend this school for the wealth of knowledge of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, as well as Kickboxing/Muay-Thai and MMA. However, if you are looking for a new way to shed some weight, gain confidence, or looking to meet cool people, Luigi has built a community that welcomes all. When Luigi teaches us the lethal arts there is an interesting juxtaposition of warmth, humor and humanity in his teachings. I am proud to call Amerian Top Team my home, I am proud to call Luigi Mondelli my Master, and I believe you will too.

Evolution Grappling - A Game-Changer for My Jiu-Jitsu Journey!…read moreI can't recommend Evolution Grappling enough - this place is an absolute gem for anyone serious about jujutsu but still needs to balance it with real life. From my first phone call with professor Mike, who was incredibly welcoming and answered all my questions. That positive vibe carried right into my sessions training under Professor Matt, whose expertise and clear instruction made complex techniques feel approachable and fun. What really stood out was how supportive the members are - everyone from beginners to vets creates this tight-knit community where encouragement flows freely. I felt incredibly safe rolling with these folks; it's clear that looking out for each other's well-being is a top priority here, which means I can consistently get my mat time in and keep improving. If you're looking for a studio that's equal parts challenging, inclusive, and safe, Evolution Grappling deserves every one of those five stars. I'll be back for more - thanks, team!
