I started training at Gonzalez Grappling last summer, and it’s been an amazing experience. I came in with no exposure to grappling of any kind, and the coaches were able to really break everything down and provide me with a great foundation for the sport. Every class they’re extremely helpful and attentive, ensuring every student in the gym is able to pull off the technique they’re teaching with no problems. They always ask if anyone has any questions before moving on to the next topic. What really sold me about this gym was when coach Jay went on vacation for a week; when this happened at other non-grappling gyms I’ve been to, we would just take a week off and expect nothing to happen. However, all the students got together to organize classes/practices the entire week he was gone. Also, when he got back, he gave everyone 1 on 1 sessions to specifically build their own style and address whatever questions/difficulties they might have. To me, this perfectly describes the atmosphere of Gonzalez Grappling. Both the coaches and other students are extremely friendly and helpful, but they’ll still push you and make you work hard to achieve your goals. If you’re on the fence about joining this gym, just head over to one of the classes and try it out! I guarantee you’ll have a great time.

What an awesome week of training in CT! Dropped in at Gonzalez Grappling! Everyone was super nice and most importantly they take care of their training partners! Thank you to coaches Jason, Jeremy and Austin for allowing me to train and the new techniques! During takedown sparring coach Jeremy hit me with the move of the day! It was so smooth all i could do was be impressed! I can't recommend this school enough if your in Connecticut! See you guys next time I'm in town!

Don't sleep on this place, a lot going on here! My kids came in to get a good workout twice a week, now they're here 5 days a week and on a couple days, the older one gets to jump into the adult classes and gets a double session. My kids and I have been to gyms all across the country and have even trained in Mexico for a couple years. We've seen the good ones the better ones and the best ones. This place ranks up with the best of them! Jay and his son, run a very well organized session. You can see the passion and commitment they both have to giving back to the sport. When you see a coach in any sport making sure they are giving individual time for all the participants at every session or practice, that's when you'll know you're in the right place! I would STRONGLY recommend this facility!
