We are the Glastonbury affiliate school of Gracie Sports USA under Brad Wolfson. Brad is a black belt under Master Marcio Stambowsky. Master Stambowsky holds a Coral Belt in BJJ and operates Gracie Sports USA (hq) in Norwalk CT. We are very lucky to train directly under such great instructors and have local access to each others’ classes. In Glastonbury we shoot to host Brad once every month and Marcio 2x yearly. Students at all locations enjoy an “open door” policy and can attend any class at any studio – Glastonbury, Hamden, or Norwalk.
- Our focus is on the art of BJJ, building functional (not fancy) self defense skills, physical fitness, and making great friends on the mat. Are you looking for a way to get in shape but hate the monotony of the gym? We have you covered! While you learn this a totally unique martial art you will build lean muscle, lose fat, boost your cardio, and get back flexibility.
- We are not a competition school. Our intensity level is a notch down from academies that solely focus on tournaments. We train hard and rolling does get competitive with the right partner…but we let go of the worry about the scorecard in lieu of working whatever it is we are trying to improve.
