American Top Team Connecticut is an excellent club with a very welcoming atmosphere and top notch instructors. Master Luigi, the owner and head instructor of the school, is a kind man that is very experienced and excited to pass on his knowledge. This school also has classes 6 days a week, which is pretty rare for clubs around here. I highly recommend this club!

Extremely professional staff as well as an abundance of first class well trained students always respectful and willing to help and welcome new students. The facility is always clean and we'll maintained. I can't praise and appreciate Luigi and Silvia Mondelli enough. They treat and welcome everyone like family and are a privilege to know and learn from.

I started training in March of 2022. Whether you are young or old, a serious competitor or just looking to get back in shape, Professor Luigi and his team have created an excellent atmosphere to learn BJJ. The depth in all belt levels is important too....there are many upper level belts (including MANY black belts) that are more then willing to teach newer students. I was welcomed on my first day with fist bumps and introductions, which I wasn't expecting, but was impressed by how easy going the team appeared. I attend 4-5 days a week now. I wish I had found them 20 years ago. I highly recommend ATT /Kore in CT. They have created a great community. 👍

I have been training here for a year and a half and it has changed my life. Luigi and and entire team are incredibly talented teachers but more important they are great people. It feels more like a family than a gym. The instruction is world class and best of all it does not feel like you are working it's just fun.

When you think of American Top Team you may think of popular names such as Jorge Masvidal, Dustin Poirier, 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.
