Fantastic experience: I had the fortunate pleasure of dropping into Teixeira MMA tonight for their BJJ class while traveling for work. It was by far one of the best drop in experiences I have had. The instructor and members were more than welcoming and the professor was extremely knowledgeable. I will definitely drop in again when back in the area and would recommend anyone else to do the same.

Fantastic experience: The place of the champions.

Fantastic experience: Soulfighters BJJ is one of the best places to train whether you are looking to get in shape, learn to better yourself or want to compete at an elite level. Rafael Formiga Barbosa is one of the best teachers of BJJ I have ever met and had the honor was training with. He has competed and excelled at the highest levels and brings in some of the best competitors from around the world to his mat to share their knowledge. The vibe is family friendly and everyone is there to get better. You could not find a better place to train in the area with great facilities, great teachers and great teammates. They have a great kids class with Felipe Costa who is an excellent teacher and competitor in his own right and they also have women's classes and offer Muay Thai/Boxing as well. Doesn't get much better than this and it will only get better as they grow the family.

Fantastic experience: I have been training at this school for about 9 months and feel that the team has become part of my family. I highly reccomend Soul Fighters in Brookfield if you are a beginner or a more advanced belt.

Fantastic experience: Great Instructors and staff as well as a great atmosphere. If you're just looking to get into shape or if you're looking to compete I highly recommend this gym. Not only is Formiga a world class competitor he is also a world class instructor.

Fantastic experience: Really nice and clean gym, good instructors ,very clean!!highly recommend !!!!

Fantastic experience: I first began training at Soul Fighters two years ago. At the time, I had been training for 5 years and found myself stuck in a slump. After watching Formiga win multiple championships and titles, I decided to make the 50+ mile trek from NY on a daily basis. Here I am two years later and my Jiu Jitsu has evolved so much, I continue to learn on a daily basis. The environment is phenomenal. Everyone is very welcoming and the gym is immaculate! Whether a hobbyist or a serious competitor you'll fit in at Soul Fighters. I highly recommend stopping by Mike P.

Fantastic experience: I've been doing martial arts since I was 7 and stopped as a teenager. I decided to start again but I very much wanted to train Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. I've been training here at Soul Fighters for a little over two months and I'm starting to learn that although it is a martial art, it is truly a way of life. I have fallen in love with it and love my Soul Fighters family. The instructors are incredible and it is an amazing learning experience.

Fantastic experience: Initially I started training Brazilian jiu-jitsu to lose weight and ended up falling in love with the art. It's been almost six months and my only regret is that I didn't start earlier. Formiga is by far one of the nicest people on the planet and the instructors are all incredibly cool and helpful. 5 stars across the board; great facility, great staff, great people, great training. OSS!

Fantastic experience: Awesome BJJ and MMA gym with top notch instructors...world class Brazilian Jiu Jitsu instructors, wrestling coaches and kickboxing coaches. Classes available 6 days a week at least twice a day. Their kids program is great and growing everyday, over 20 kids!!!

Fantastic experience: I have trained at multiple academies in CT and under several different instructors. I recommend Soul Fighters Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and Rafael "Formiga" Barbosa without reservation. Whether you are an experienced Jiu Jitsu practioner, competitor, or a beginner. The facility is brand new, the instructors are world class with an extensive knowledge base. The comradery is excellent.

Fantastic experience: Soul Fighters is a fantastic gym that blends a welcoming environment with excellent instruction. It is led by Rafael “Formiga” Barbosa who is a world class competitor and coach. On top of bringing his decades of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu experience, he cares about every one of his students. This is reflected in everyone else in the gym, as Soul Fighters houses a group of friendly training partners who push each other to be better every day. Anyone in the area looking for Brazilian Jiu Jitsu should come in and try a class!

Fantastic experience: Soul Fighters has a great positive atmosphere and with the best Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu instructors in the area. If you want to have fun, meet and workout with a great group of people, and get in the best shape of your life; this is the place to be.

Fantastic experience: The best gym in the area!!!!

Fantastic experience: I love Glover Teixeira.

Fantastic experience: I went here the instructors kept my name so close in there heads made me feel like a regular from the start absolutely will come again!

Fantastic experience: Glover is the man for this one. Drive two hours just to support him.

Fantastic experience: Glover teixeira inspired me so much, hoping i can save up quick so i can move out that way, at 33 ive had a few ammy fights and now fully believe i can really take this somewhere, watching glover helped re affirm my drive and belief that i can still get to that level respect to all of you that train and teach here hope to see y'all soon even if i gotta sleep in the parking lot

Fantastic experience: My kids just started this year and they are loving it. This is the best place to bring your kids, to a good training & fitness class.

Fantastic experience: I wish there were more ⭐️‘s to give to Teixeira’s because 5 is just not enough! Walking thru their doors is best gift you can give yourself. The students and coaches are INCREDIBLE!!! You will immediately feel the energy, dedication, and friendships that will inspire you to be part of our team, and motivate you to be your best!!! ♥️

Fantastic experience: At 52 I was unsure a fight school would be a good place for me to train...boy was I wrong!! I have completely transformed my body. The trainers are so invested in helping you achieve your goals...big or small!! You feel super motivated when working with these professional athletes..they are not going to ask you to do anything they wouldn’t do themselves....so inspiring! These guys care they push you at your level your speed and make you feel amazing about your accomplishments! Seriously come join our team!

Fantastic experience: I have been training here for two years and the classes stay challenging. The instructors are knowledgeable and students of all fitness levels are encouraged equally. The atmosphere is postive and Glover really cares about making sure people are improving their fitness.

Fantastic experience: Greatest instructor in CT! Has loyalty courage and determination. Very very humbled inside and outside the ring . Don’t go anywhere else, come here if you want to get fit, workout, and defend yourself. Glover all the way!

Fantastic experience: Really loved my experience. Excellent service and outstanding staff. HIGHLY RECOMMEND

Fantastic experience: Great group of people, wonderful atmosphere!

Fantastic experience: Awesome environment and wonderful staff!!

Fantastic experience: Great instructors, great atmosphere, great classes, great people. Whether you just want to come get a good cardio work out with a kickboxing class, or you want to compete in bjj or mma, this is the place for you. Every instructor takes the time to learn who you are and what your goals are and do whatever they can to help you meet them. You are never just another nameless face in the back of a class. With the family environment that they produce you never have to worry about judgement from instructors or other classmates, need that extra push to finish that last minute of abs, you'll get it. Need to stop early because of an injury, you get a high five for putting in the most effort you could. Their philosophy is team work, you can only get better if the guy sitting next to you does too, and that's what you see every time you step on the mat.

Fantastic experience: Get ready to train like you couldn't imagine possible. You will be pushed to your own limits and supported by Glover Teixeira himself. This school is the real deal and the family atmosphere is the best part. You'll never say you can't again.

Fantastic experience: You can search far and wide and quite possibly never find a better coach than Rafael "Formiga" Barbosa. A fourth degree black belt with technical knowledge surpassed by few, Formiga is not only an excellent instructor and mentor, but a truly kind and generous person who you'd be foolish not to meet and train with/under given the opportunity.
