Fantastic experience: Very clean, friendly and organized environment with a bilingual staff and wonderful coaches!

Fantastic experience: My oldest son has been going to the academy for a little over a year and he definitely enjoys it. They are always friendly and welcoming. Now that my youngest son (3yrs old) is enrolled it definitely gives me peace of mind that his teachers are not just jiu jitsu practitioners but also childcare providers. Definitely recommend the academy to anyone looking for something for the kids this summer.

Fantastic experience: The Marcelo Garcia Jiu Jitsu Association in Bridgeport has been a blessing from day one. We started with our two smallest kids age 3&4 (now 5&6), then added our 6&8 (now 8&10) year olds. They love it! The instructors are amazing with the kids. A fun environment but disciplined, focused on child and skills development. Our kids’ confidence has grown, self-control improved, physical and psychological stamina increased, and respect for self and others grown. A real sense of community is there, with the instructors knowing each child by name, skill, and ability. Please join! You won’t regret it!

Fantastic experience: Staff here are so welcoming, it feels like a family. Everything is very organized.

Fantastic experience: The facilities are spotless, and the instructor really knows his stuff. I trained here last year before leaving the state for work, but now that I'm back in CT, I can't wait to hit the mats again. See you on the mat!

Fantastic experience: Best gym around!

Fantastic experience: I am very happy with them, my son has only been training with them for 4 months and he has already won his first gold medal.

Fantastic experience: Los mejores

Fantastic experience: People do not realize it's like having Babe Ruth teach baseball or Michael Jordan teach you basketball... This is not an exaggeration. If anything it could be an understatement. Marcelo is the best... Of the best.

Fantastic experience: Clean facility, knowledgeable staff, and authentic vibe. If you want to learn BJJ or ditch your old boring workout that you can never stick to, this is the place to be! Training here has helped me gain stamina, strength, endurance, balance, and flexibility.

Fantastic experience: Great environment! These guys know what they are doing!

Negative experience: The instructors and facility are wonderful, but the program structure is not friendly to newcomers. It really doesn't work unless you live in the area and can get there 5 days. My kids ended up not loving it because they miss the fun and games they had at other martial arts programs (this program focuses more on technique, practice and instruction). We had our free trial week, then after 2 weeks of membership we had to break the contract. We ended up spending $250 total and we only went to 5 classes! That's $50 per class for what ended up being just one of our kids because the other one refused. Just doesn't seem right to have to be locked into a contract without really knowing if it's a fit.

Fantastic experience: The school is awsome I love it and it has good trainers and it changed my life and kathrina is awsome and. .

Fantastic experience: My experience at Marceo Garcia Association has given me special appreciation for the martial arts, a strong self-discipline, along with self-gratitude! Rolling with the Best of em' bring me joy!

Fantastic experience: Me and my two kids love this place we train as family it helps us bond. Great people great team

Fantastic experience: I just recently started training at the school in Bridgeport CT. The people, facilitate, and jiu-jitsu is great! I am very happy to be part of this team!

Fantastic experience: Been training here for the past 2 years and there doesn't exist a better environment in Connecticut. From the high level training partners, all of whom always do extraordinarily well at competitions, to the joking and easy going nature of everyone there...this gym is a true hidden gem. All are treated with respect and equals regardless of rank. Very hygienic mats, bathrooms, and locker rooms. Flexible Schedules. Phenomenal and very detail oriented instructors who are present day in and day out. There isn't a better choice for your grappling needs. Come join the family!
