I felt welcomed by everyone there. You can truly tell that the staff cares for each child that walks in the door. I wanted my son to take up martial arts because of his distractibility/lack of focus in school. Since he's been attending East Coast Academy of Tae Kwon Do his teachers have noticed such a huge improvement in his behavior & with focusing. It has also helped him with sports like Flagfootball & basketball. So if you're looking for a great organization for your child or for yourself you should truly consider East Coast Academy of Tae Kwon Do.

Ever since going to this gym 5 years ago I have had a laundry list of health problems. I have two…read moreherniated discs which started while training here and eventually got worse, one in my back and one in my neck. I also had at least 2 minor concussions here. The one that stands out most was when sparring an overeager new student. I literally fell over and people here hardly cared or noticed. Some of them were fine just hitting me hard in the head after it happened or just throwing me to the ground repeatedly as I did half speed kicks, even the person who knocked me down decided to swing for the fences again that same day. I have a pretty high pain tolerance and I probably didn't fully even know how hurt I was but I still think it was a little overkill and just weird to go after someone who is already obviously hurt. It's sparring not a fight. I made sure to write all this down after it happened because it was definitely not normal for this to happen at places like these. It was basically a beginner level class with some more advanced students if I remember correctly. Not a place where getting knocked out is common. I know how this sounds, it's a contact sport and stuff happens and I would have been fine with that and probably accepted it and moved on. However, the main problem is when I tried to speak to the owner several times, and one of the instructors once I did not have a good experience. I won't go into too much detail but I was accused of lying about my injuries, I was gaslit, asked if I was autistic multiple times, or they just made jokes or didn't take me seriously. The owner also thought I was a bully for hitting people hard in sparring when I was also frequently getting hit hard. The spars/rolls/clinching was often so over the top that my back literally gave out and I started to develop issues I've never had before. This place deserves a 1 star review not so much for the injuries but for being so scummy about it. If someone gets a bad injury at least be respectful about it. Would have been appreciated. The owner and anyone working for him really should take a hard look at themselves if this sort of behavior is still going on here. If someone has a complaint or concern, taking it seriously would be a good place to start. The owner also tries to get reviews deleted so I'm posting this on yelp cause it got deleted on google.

Radius has been a safe haven for me (not grey or dark at all). I'm grateful for all of the people…read moreI have met and trained with. Everyone has been enormously supportive of my growth and one another as far as I can tell. I think it can be challenging for a woman to enter a sport that is predominantly male.

I see the gym as a community--something that is intentionally built by leadership at Radius.

We wanted to continue our TKD journey into the second dan, instead of starting at another martial arts school. We researched a few different places. Some were non responsive, or too far to our liking. We stumbled upon Song Tae Kwon and set up our trial class. We have been going here since December of 2021, and we are very happy with them. Master Song is a great teacher, and teaches the material well. The instructors, masters, and other students are all very helpful and patient. We enjoy going here and learning/improving our forms/curriculum. For anyone looking into starting Tae Kwon Do, I would reccomend this place.

I recommend the classes to people of all ages.

If you're looking for the best 100% no-gi jiu jitsu experience in Connecticut, stop searching --…read morethis is the place. I've been training at Connecticut Submission Grappling (CSG) for the past five months, and it's easily one of the best decisions I've made in 2025. The vibe is welcoming and ego free. Whether you're brand new or a seasoned grappler, everyone's here to help each other learn and improve. The gym itself is modern with state of the art facilities. It has no smell (huge for me), a large mat space, a small gym area, a bottle refill station, AC, and a shower. It's a space clearly built by people who care about safety, progress, and long-term development. But what truly sets CSG apart are the instructors and their approach to coaching. Alex and Ryan have completely redefined what coaching means to me, while being two of the most down to earth people I've met. After more than a decade around youth and college soccer coaches, I'm used to seeing people stick to how they were taught or what worked for them in their careers. These two are different. They're constantly researching and talking with experts in movement science and skill development to sharpen their approach. The instruction you get each class feels thoughtful and personal, not one size fits all. Each class is built around live game based scenarios that feel more like playing a sport than doing repetitive drills. There are no warm-ups, no punishments, no speeches, and no wasted time. Just real grappling and real development from start to finish. Whether you're in Fairfield County or New Haven County, and whether you're brand new or have years of experience, CSG is absolutely worth your time. If your current gym feels stale or you're not getting enough live work, this is the upgrade you've been looking for. Come train with us!

Run by a passionate,…read moreknowledgeable instructor (Sifu), Club Kung Fu is an oasis in a busy, cookie-cutter world of martial arts studios, gyms, and fitness programs. Driven by a true love of the art, Sifu Leung designs his classes around the goal of helping his students truly master the techniques and corresponding mentality of traditional Wing Tsun. Students of all levels practice in the kwoon together, supporting one another as they pass from one level to the next, embracing more sophisticated techniques and gaining a better grasp of the overall practice. Club Kung Fu offers a personalized experience in learning and refining one's Wing Tsun, as each student becomes a part of the community, and together, everyone works to better oneself. I highly recommend giving this a try if you are new to the art. Drop in for a trial class and learn about the tactics and progression of Wing Tsun. If you are more experienced, and looking for an opportunity to really elevate your mastery of Wing Tsun and refine your techniques, look no further. Club Kung Fu offers small classes, attention to detail, and direct instruction from Sifu Leung; one of the most committed, invested instructors of any skill that I have encountered.

My 14-yo daughter has her black belt and we've seen through the years how Master Na's training has helped her physically with great balance and strength and posture, and also mentally -- part of her confidence and self-assurance comes from her experience at the dojo. We can't say enough good things about Master Na and his team!

It's been three incredible years since my daughter started her Taekwondo journey with Master Na,…read moreback in 2022. She joined when she was only nine years old -- shy, nervous, and unsure of herself. Today, she's confidently preparing to earn her Black Belt, and the transformation has been amazing to witness. Throughout this journey, I've seen her grow stronger, more disciplined, and mentally tougher. Taekwondo has taught her how to stay calm under pressure, correct mistakes without fear, and push through challenges with confidence. One of the things I admire most is how Master Na always tells the students that making mistakes isn't bad -- what truly matters is the courage to fix them and keep improving. And every time they thought they couldn't break a board, Master Na would say, "Yes, you can!" That moment of encouragement always gave them the strength and belief to do it -- and they did! Taekwondo has also helped her perform better in her other sports like soccer, flag football, and basketball. She now plays with more focus, balance, and determination, showing leadership and confidence that clearly come from her martial arts training. This journey has helped her grow in so many ways -- physically, mentally, and emotionally. As a parent, I'm deeply grateful to Master Na for his patience, dedication, and for teaching my daughter to believe in herself both inside and outside the dojang.
