Silverback Training Facility

This is a great place to learn kickboxing/muay Thai. The coaches, Dave annd Manny, are very attentive and give great knowledge on the technical aspect of full contact martial arts for competitors and non-competitors alike. Even though I don’t do the Brazilian jiu jitsu classes, Rafy and Susie are very kind and welcoming. Silverback is the right community to be a part of.

Really amazing gym! Incredible instructors with a wide breadth of knowledge who are always excited to teach, answer questions, and roll. They really care and make sure everyone understands each technique before moving on. Lots of mat space, clean facilities, and very friendly/welcoming atmosphere. True gem, cannot recommend enough!!

Amazing place. Been a member for 2 months now. Affordable, welcoming, and great exercise. Team members are always there to pick you up and help you out.

My 12-year-old son and 5-year-old daughter both attend the kids’ jiu-jitsu class, and it’s been a fantastic experience for them. Jeff does an excellent job adjusting his teaching style for different ages so both kids stay engaged and learn at their own level. My son enjoys the challenge of learning real techniques and improving his skills, while my daughter loves the fun drills and games that help her build confidence and coordination. Jeff is encouraging, and very good at making every child feel included and supported. What I appreciate most is the positive environment Jeff creates in the class. He emphasizes respect, listening, and teamwork just as much as the physical skills, which has been great for both of my kids. My son comes home excited to practice what he learned, and my daughter is always proud to show off her new moves. It’s clear that Jeff cares about the kids and wants them to succeed, and I would definitely recommend his class to other parents looking for a safe, structured, and fun activity for their children.

Silverback Training Facility in the Glastonbury/East Hartford area is awesome! Super friendly gym with zero ego—everyone’s welcoming and supportive. Coach Manny and Coach David are the best. Manny’s got serious Muay Thai experience, multiple titles, and teaches everything clearly from basics to advanced. Dave’s an active fighter too, always bringing fresh tips. They push you but keep it positive and personalized. Great workouts, clean space, flexible classes for adults and kids. Hands down the best spot around here for striking or martial arts. Highly recommend! 🦍🥊”
