Radius Martial Arts Academy - 10th Planet Jiu Jitsu Fairfield

Fantastic experience: This is an excellent Martial Arts Academy. My two sons (5 and 6) learned discipline, strength and balance within a wonderfully supportive environment. The sensei's are warm and also firm, and my boys and I felt completely comfortable. I highly recommend Radius to anyone looking for martial arts training for children or adults.

Fantastic experience: Truly the finest training facility in the area. Classes are taught with respect and professionalism. Environment is free from "Alpha" dominate personalities and narrow minded bullies. A true American Gym comprised of an extensive multi cultural mix of participants all with the same goal in mind. Equipment is clean and new, instructors are approachable and realistic in their expectations, and the owners are honest and positive. All those looking to succeed in cultivating a healthy lifestyle (for the mind, body, and soul) need not look any further than Radius Martial Arts Academy.

Fantastic experience: Joined Radius10p about 2 weeks ago and have had nothing but positive experiences each time I train. The coaches and members are extremely helpful and friendly especially for a beginner. It’s a judgement free environment that encourages learning and growth. Really great and friendly people coaching and training here, my only regret is not starting sooner. Excited to keep learning.

Fantastic experience: Radius is awesome! I come to Muay Thai classes here whenever I am in Fairfield and it never disappoints. The quality of the instruction is top notch and the facility is always very clean. I would recommend it to anyone from beginners to long time practitioners. I learn something new every time I come. It’s a perfect mix of people who take the sport seriously without taking themselves too seriously.

Fantastic experience: If you have ever considered trying jiu jitsu, go here. The instructors are great and the other athletes are patient. I was terrified trying both their Muy Thai and jiu jitsu classes and am so glad I finally did it. Everyone is so welcoming and encouraging. I’m in the worst shape of my life, post partum with social anxiety and look forward to coming to this class since day one every week. Honestly if I can do it anyone can. Thank you Radius and everyone there for just being awesome!

Fantastic experience: From the moment I stepped into the gym I felt welcomed. I was greeted with a smile and was encouraged to go at the pace that I desired. All the students are very kind and always willing to help. I found the instructors to be really great, caring, funny, and good people. My experience have been 2 thumbs up and I'm happy I found this place. If you can wake up early on a Sunday, stop by Davids kick boxing class at 9 am! P.S Don't forget to pick up one of their cool stickers!

Fantastic experience: I've been training at Radius around 4 years now, I'm convinced learning a martial art is the best decision anyone can make. Radius offers exceptional instruction for all skill levels, an incredible Muay Thai program, clean facilities, and some of the kindest and most talented training partners in the area. Joining Radius is joining an environment that is designed to foster personal development, humility, and a sense of community that is hard to find anywhere else.

Fantastic experience: Radius Martial Arts Academy is truly the place to be! When I began taking the weekly classes about a year ago I was nervous having never done much martial arts. But with the help of their experienced and professional coaching staff I found myself eager to return again and again. Radius has not only become a great place for me to stay in shape but it has also become a home away from home! -Rod.P

Fantastic experience: I’ve just started coming and I love it. Instructors are friendly, very clear on instructions, and guide you step by step. It became addicting coming in for class to learn. I will definitely be staying at Radius Martial Arts for awhile, I want to learn and master as much as possible and start competing. Radius Martial Arts is where I put my trust to bring out the best in me.

Fantastic experience: I was looking for a place to train after years of inactivity. I've learned so much already. Radius has great instructors and a great community.

Fantastic experience: Best jiu-jitsu gym I could ask for, I have been training for about 6 months now and I can say the atmosphere is great, everyone is really nice and willing to help you improve. The instructors and everyone else are really helpful and friendly.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been taking classes at Radius for about a month, and I wanted to write a review for other people just getting started. I consider myself lucky to have landed here. I’m brand new to Muay Thai and Brazilian jiu-jitsu. Plus, I’m of the female persuasion. I was worried about finding a place where I could take classes- worried that I wouldn’t be considered capable or welcome. But Radius just isn’t like that. First of all, they’re all very good at what they do, which is absolutely awesome. I went to watch a bunch of them compete in my first week there and it was crazy impressive (and fun to be cheering for a team that did so well). Still, when what everyone is good at is fighting, it can seem really intimidating. But no one is scary. Or, more crucially, no one is trying to scare you. There’s not a lot of ego-driven performative badassery. People genuinely want to help you learn and get better, even when you are (like me sometimes) obviously struggling. Now this part may not be important to everyone, but it was important to me- there will be other women in your classes. It’s not any kind of an anomaly. There isn’t any pressure or punishment if you aren’t “one of the boys.” I put that down to the culture, which is quite serious about training but otherwise very chill. There’s not an instructor there who I don’t have something great to say about them. And while I’ve only been there a month, that’s true of the students I know as well. The only word of caution I’d give is: do not forget to bring water.

Fantastic experience: Just had my first class and the staff/students could not have been more helpful and welcoming

Fantastic experience: My son wanted to start MMA training, primarily with Muay Thai, with no previous training. He was completely and unconditionally welcomed as part of the adult training programs for both Muay Thai and Jiu Jitsu. The leadership at radius has created a family type atmosphere where all are made to feel comfortable and can learn MMA skills at any level. My son thoroughly enjoys going to Radius and cannot get enough. Travis is very understanding of everyone’s situation and accommodates accordingly.

Fantastic experience: My husband and I both train here - we expected to learn a new skill together and get in shape, and actually ended up getting to be a part of a great community. Travis, Steve, and Kurt have cultivated a unique culture that drew us to the school after scoping out several in the area. As a woman with no jiu jitsu experience, everyone I have trained with has been respectful, encouraging, and helpful in ensuring good technique from the start and pushing me to do my best. Love training here!

Fantastic experience: Radius is the best bjj in Fairfield. I’ve been training in New York the past 11 years and I visited Radius in June. After one session it was easy to see that it’s top notch bjj training. From the vibe to the training sessions, the school feels like home. Travis has created an environment that attracts great training partners with high level technique. Love this place. Thanks for all the love T!

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality , Value Radius is an awesome gym to begin or continue learning martial arts. All the students really make it a friendly environment and Travis and Steve are great instructors who really care about their students. Highly recommend for new students or veterans looking to keep progressing their game.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been to a couple of combat sport gyms in Connecticut and Radius has to be the BEST one hands down.When I first started I was amazed at how every coach from Tom teaching Muay Thai to Travis,Steve or Kurt teaching jiu jitsu had impeccable attention to detail in showing the techniques in class.This backed by the positive environment in every class they teach Really separates this gym from others. I’ve been here for a almost two years and since day one have felt like I’ve found not only an elite gym but also a second family.

Fantastic experience: I'm going into my fourth month training at Radius, and I cannot recommend the school high enough for anyone looking for BJJ or Muay Thai in Fairfield County. I've trained on and off over 10 years at schools in north Jersey and Philly before moving to the area. This is honestly the first place I can say really cares about all the members, regardless of what level of experience they're at. Whether you are someone who has trained their whole life or someone who has never rolled a day in your life, give this place a chance. Travis, Steve and Kurt all provide unique teaching philosophies and Tom is a top notch striking coach. Thank you guys for doing what you do, its a privilege to be apart of the Radius fam!

Fantastic experience: My wife and I have been training at radius for about 2 months, and I can't speak highly enough about the staff and the culture/environment that they foster. Great comaraderie, especially between upper and lower belts. Travis and Steve are extremelly welcoming and caring, but they also set a high bar and genuinly want to see you succeed in your BJJ journey. If that's the type of experience you're looking for, this is the place for you.

Fantastic experience: Meaning to make this post. If your looking for a first time experience into combat sports, I highly recommend Radius. If your looking to improve your skill set, I also recommend Radius. I know many may think my opinion is bias as most individuals would say their facility is the best. Not the case. Coaches at Radius are super knowledgeable and work with each individual to perfect his or her technique. Super welcoming atmosphere overall.

Fantastic experience: I've been going to Radius on and off for about two years now. It was really scary going to the first class as I have no other combat sport experience, but I felt instantly at home. The atmosphere is relaxed, but everyone is very serious about helping you improve your skills, and the instruction is great. Jiu jitsu has really become a big part of my life now, I think it will be for a long time, and I really only have Radius to thank for that. I've never had a bad experience at Radius, only challenging ones. If you're looking for a first combat sports experience, I couldn't recommend Radius more highly.

Fantastic experience: As a lady in a heavily male-dominated sport it's hard to find a place where I feel 100% safe, and i can say with no hesitation that Radius has always made me feel welcome, safe, and supported. Not only is the culture great, the instruction is unmatched. Highly, highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: I have been going to Radius for about 2 years. The hardest part of my Jiu Jitsu journey so far was showing up to my first class. Don't hesitate like I did. The instructors are top notch. Everyone there is super helpful and genuinely interested in helping you get the most out of the training.

Fantastic experience: Have been training Brazilian jiu-jitsu for about a month and plan to stay for many more. I feel very welcomed entering Radius and have been learning with each class. Recommended for anyone who is interested in starting but might be hesitant. The instructors are talented and accommodating, even for a newcomer like myself. They have been very helpful in simplifying the moves and answering any of my questions.The fellow students are also friendly. No one is a bully, not even the more advanced students. Overall a great place to learn BJJ if new and interested in the sport.

Fantastic experience: radius is absolutely amazing. you can't find a better school to learn Brazilian jiu jitsu and muay thai. the instructors are excellent and the people there really keep the environment fun. from the white belts to the black belts, everyone comes in to train hard and as a team so whether or not you're a complete beginner or you've been training for years, radius is for you.

Fantastic experience: Radius Martial Arts has rapidly become a second home for me during this past year of training. Stepping into those doors for the first time can be incredibly intimidating, especially if you don't have any martial arts background. If you are having those feelings, you can confidently push them aside. The instructors are equal parts welcoming, knowledgeable, and entertaining. Your fellow students will help you learn if you are just getting started or push you past your limits if you have experience. BJJ is a tremendous way to explore a vastly complex martial art, increase your fitness level, and meet interesting people. Radius Martial Arts is the second academy I've trained BJJ at. I see no reason to look for a third.

Fantastic experience: I've been a student at Radius for over two years now, and I am very happy with this school. The instructors are extremely knowledgeable and dedicated, and always manage to keep class fun. My training at Radius has been invaluable to my BJJ journey.

Fantastic experience: I started training Jiu Jitsu at Radius about a month and a half ago. I am enjoying each class more than the last and am always looking forward to the next. I was extremely impressed when I requested more information and Travis, the owner, called me within minutes. He asked what questions I might have and offered me a free class. Travis, Steve, Kurt, and the entire Radius squad continue to impress me each day with the quality of instruction, the warm and welcoming atmosphere, and the integrity of their training. Would recommend to anyone!

Fantastic experience: I started training with Radius for a little over a month ago and I love it ! Travis ,Steve and Kurt are great instructors ! The environment is so friendly and every class is a new experience . I felt so welcomed on my first day. Overall, Radius is a great martial arts school and everyone there is so helpful and great.

Fantastic experience: I've been with this crew for a very long time, over 10 years collectively. Just ask Travis about the first time he met me. God, I LOVE that story. And ask Steve about our old MMA days and ground and pound drills. This is a great school to come and train. Whether your looking to compete or just want to get in shape. I can guarantee you'll go home a few pounds lighter than you came. There is a broad range of skill here so they cater to all levels. Yes, it can be very intimidating walking into a martial arts academy where they do live sparring and rolling but it is a very friendly atmosphere and the students respect everyone's skill level. No bullies here! And over time it really does feel like a family. I compete for this academy and I couldn't imagine being as successful as I am today without the instruction and guidance provided at Radius Martial Arts / 10th Planet Fairfield.(undefeated so far ).

Fantastic experience: This school is welcoming and made me feel comfortable. The atmosphere is social. The instruction during class is a balance of fun, and seriousness. I really appreciate that the professors care about the students, and make efforts to ensure that the students understand the Jiu Jitsu. There are some great guys to roll with who left me dripping with sweat! I recommend training here 100% - from a grateful blue belt

Fantastic experience: Since my first 10th Planet class in 2016, Radius Martial Arts Academy has been the most welcoming, kind hearted group of guys ‘n gals to train with. After staying consistent for the past 6 months, Travis encouraged me to compete and I now have the confidence to continue. Learning from Steve and Kurt has been invaluable. Whether you have kids or looking to start a new chapter for yourself in martial arts, yoga or just looking to improve your nogi, gi, wrestling or Muay Thai, come by and say hi!

Fantastic experience: I began my BJJ journey 6 months ago from today. Despite having no prior MMA or wrestling experience, the instructors at this gym have shaped me into a warrior. Every class is a new experience. It begins with a technical session that leads you through a set of small moves to create one large strategy, with every step broken into digestible bites. Classes aren’t too big and you’ll constantly receive the one on one attention you need to succeed. Your fellow classmates are pretty chill and easy going but provide the knowledge and strength to push you past your limits. Whether you’re looking for a fun environment to lose weight, trying a new hobby or you’re trying to seriously compete, you’ll find all those things and more at this gym. The Muy Thai classes are pretty awesome too.

Fantastic experience: Radius is truly a special place to be apart of. Every instructor here is a wealth of knowledge who cares about the growth/safety of their students. They practice what they preach and are on the mats training as well. That sets an example for all of us: hard work, mutual growth, and leaving ones ego at the door. The students, who have in many ways become my extended family, are kind and hard working. Travis the owner/Instructor is very professional and an all around great dude. Im honored to be part of this Academy and humbled to be training with such talented, kind-spirited warriors. Those of you out there looking to become the best version of yourself, come here. You won't regret it. -Tony

Fantastic experience: Radius is great gym filled with great people. Professional and engaging instructors share their knowledge of Jiu Jitsu, nogi grappling and Muay Thai with one of the best groups of students I have trained with. I spent years travelling the world training with the best in Asia, Latin America and Europe. Having settled in this area, I feel incredibly lucky to be able to call Radius my gym and the Radius family, my family.

Fantastic experience: I wanted to return to jiu-jitsu after an 8 year lay off and had no clue where to train. I looked up radius and left an email to inquire. Travis(owner) shot me a text and welcomed me to come whenever and try a free class. I went in March and it was awesome. Everyone welcomed me and were very respectful to the fact I hadn’t rolled in some time. After the class I told Travis I probably couldn’t sign up until the summer bc we were in the middle of moving. He was super cool and said come whenever, no rush. I ended up signing up fully in August for jiu-jitsu and Muay Thai and couldn’t be happier. The instructors are very knowledgeable(all jiu-jitsu classes are taught by at least one if not two blackbelts!!) and the Thai class has two incredible, detail oriented, guys coaching as well. I loved the school so much I signed my son up and he feel in love and goes 4x a week!! If you’re thinking about trying it out, come by and enjoy!! Ps. If you’ve been doing jiu jitsu a while come in because the class is so diverse in belt rankings making it an awesome place to learn! No egos just good rolls!

Fantastic experience: I have been training at Radius for a few weeks now, and it has been nothing short of an amazing experience. I had made arrangements to stop in and talk with Travis, the owner, about the details of the available classes and membership, my main interest being Jiu Jitsu. He was very accommodating and offered me a free trial class. At 38 years old and married with two kids, I was looking for something that would be challenging and rewarding on a personal level. Something that could revitalize my self discipline and carry over into my parenting, my home life, and even my work life. The instructors here are truly remarkable. Their natural ability to teach, coupled with a depth of detail and attentiveness, make each class feel beneficial and engaging. It is clear the tactics of these teachings have had a positive effect on the group of men and women who train there, as I have felt a great deal of patience and welcoming from everyone I have met. There is also plenty of talent on the mats to challenge the more experienced individual who may be looking for a new place to train. After only a short time at Radius, I know this is just where I want to be.

Fantastic experience: Something here for the whole family, but the kids classes are one of the best deals in Fairfield. No expensive monthly belt promotions, just knowledgeable and friendly teachers creating a fun environment. My daughter loves the karate/Jiu-Jitsu classes. She’s learning self defense and gaining confidence. The newest addition is the kids Muay Thai class, which my son started taking. Tom is such a positive, energetic teacher and I doubt you could find anyone more knowledgeable about the history and practice of Muay Thai. If you’re looking for a martial arts program for kids, this is the place, but don’t let the kids have all the fun. My husband started taking the adult Jiu-Jitsu classes a year ago, and about 4 months in I decided to give Radius a try. I’ve always exercised in some form, but I had put on weight after having kids that never seemed to go away. I was in an exercise rut. I started with the conditioning classes. Short cardio classes, with different exercises every week. It was easy to fit into my schedule. A few months after that I tried a Jiu-Jitsu class and I was hooked. I never thought I would be in great shape again, never thought I would love exercise, but here I am. I’ve lost a lot of weight, gained a lot of muscle, which is all great, but I’m also really having fun and learning a lot.

Fantastic experience: Radius Martial Arts is the place to be if you want to learn the art of jiu jitsu. Travis, Kurt, and Steve are highly experienced and provide a fun and friendly environment to learn. The second I walked in the door to start training here a couple of months ago, I was treated like family and felt welcomed right away. There is a team like environment where every member is there to improve and make each other better. I would highly recommend Radius to anyone.

Fantastic experience: Radius Martial arts is a great place to have fun and learn self defense. While learning to protect yourself you are enjoying your time and making new friends daily. I have only been there for about 3 months and all I could say is I have been having a blast and I have gotten a lot stronger. I highly recommend coming to Radius and giving it a shot!

Fantastic experience: I felt welcome at Radius the moment I showed up for my first class. I've been coming back four days a week for a few months now and totally love it. The people are awesome, the training is spectacular, and the facility is spacious and well-kept. Highly recommended!

Fantastic experience: I recently started training at Radius and I must say that everyone has been extremely welcoming and helpful. When I made the decision that I wanted to learn BJJ for self defense and to get fit I began trying out different schools. After speaking with the owner Travis and trying a class here the decision was easy. The instructors are very knowledgeable, no long term contracts or expensive start up fees. It's a perfect place for a beginner like me or an advance person looking for a new school to advance their skills. I highly recommend Radius Martial Arts Academy!

Fantastic experience: I started training in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu at Radius shortly after my 41st birthday in January. I've spent my life forcing myself to exercise, never quite finding anything that I enjoyed or could stick with. I had never studied a martial art before and so I decided to give it a try. I took some trial classes at a few different schools, but after my trial class at Radius, the decision was easy. I now train 2-3 times a week. The instructors are friendly, patient and extremely knowledgeable. The other students are great as well. I always feel comfortable asking questions because I know that everyone is willing to help. This makes for an amazing and safe learning environment. Radius Martial Arts Academy is a real community. Being part of that community has changed my life for the better.

Fantastic experience: I am two years into my association with radius martial arts. I am a good deal older than any of the other students at radius. In fact, my last wrestling competition was more than 50 years ago. I'm in my 70s now. This is an activity which is easily - readily adaptable to any ability or age. My fitness level is dramatically improved. I highly recommend radius. The atmosphere is caring yet challenging. The staff is excellent! The other students and myself have become family.

Fantastic experience: I go to university in Scotland (although I live in Fairfield county), and was looking to get started with some Muay Thai over the summer before heading back for my next semester. I had really no prior experience in martial arts, and wasn't sure what to expect from Radius--although for context, I struggle a lot with an anxiety disorder, so motivating myself to actually step through the door and participate in whatever lay beyond was pretty difficult for me. I could not be more glad that I made that push. Radius is a very personable, low-key, nonjudgemental environment; but at the same time the trainers there are passionate about what they do, and sincerely want you to feel safe and improve. No matter your gender identity, body type, or level of experience, both the trainers and regular attendees will go out of their way to accomodate you. If you're new to the martial arts scene and want to rest assured that the gym you join will be a good community, reasonably priced, responsible, caring, and trustworthy, Radius should be your go-to.

Fantastic experience: The first time I stepped onto the mats I felt so welcomed by everyone. The owners and the teachers here are experienced and super friendly, making it so comfortable to transition to a new school. I highly recommend this gym to start or continue your martial arts journey.

Fantastic experience: I have been training BJJ and Muay Thai at Radius for about a year and from day one have had a great experience. The instructors are all knowledgeable and do an excellent job of helping you to reach your goals whether it be to compete or not. In addition to the instructors, everyone at the school is friendly and positive. Overall, I have and would recommend Radius to anyone looking for a martial arts school.

Fantastic experience: I started training at Radius almost a year ago. I tried a few different places for Muay Thai but wasn't happy with my options. Then I found Radius. I was immediately impressed with the professionalism, the quality of instruction, and the sense of community. I started training BJJ and have been addicted since. Radius is such a welcoming place and it's one of the best workouts I've ever had. Plus it's a ton of fun. Come train!

Fantastic experience: I am more than impressed with Radius. I recommend that anyone considering training in martial arts go to Radius as soon as they can, they'll regret waiting! The instructors are incredibly friendly with a wide breadth of knowledge in martial arts. The personable instructors make the environment extremely welcoming to newcomers like myself, and this great attitude extends to the students as well. All of the students are respectful of one another, regardless of skill level, which creates instant camaraderie in the class. I am more than satisfied to attend classes at Radius and look forward to training there for a long time. Even as a newbie in BJJ, I feel comfortable in class and rolling with any of the instructors or students. I could not be happier with joining Radius Martial Arts!

Fantastic experience: Radius is a great martial arts school. Their instructors are top notch and very passionate about teaching. The members/students are friendly and humble on the mats. New students are always welcomed by the "veterans." Lastly, the owners are awesome people who are very reasonable in their business approach.
