Hear From Our Satisfied Members…
My Friend Mark just opened a school in Connecticut so if you want to train Brazilian Jiu Jitsu that’s the place to be!
Clean, spacious facility, helpful staff and impeccable quality of instruction. Excellent camaraderie and team spirit among the students. Mark holds himself to a high standard, and gets the best out of everyone there. This academy is a real martial arts gem.
This place is great! There are many class times and the classes I’ve gone to have been appropriately challenging with friendly staff and members who are open to helping others. I was new to BJJ and have had a great experience so far.
Great place, friendly atmosphere, awesome work out!!!
Great instruction, beautiful facility and family atmosphere.
The academy has solid fundamental and technical Jiu Jitsu, which are essential for anyone seeking to learn this great martial art.
A great place to learn for children of all ages!
I have so much to say about our gym. My daughter and I both train. RGA is a place where we are supported, feel safe and train hard. Over the past year I have had not one complaint. As a woman it was very comforting to find a large group of women who welcomed me with open arms. I never imagined myself trusting all of my training partners (both men and women) with my safety. People who have grown to be such amazing friends. The facility is clean, rules are enforced, and instructors are top notch. Mark is a wonderful owner who strives to improve RGA everyday. The standard held by RGA is like no other. We pride ourselves on being good people and my daughter is learning to protect herself. It’s the best investment for yourself and with so many varieties of classes you are bound to find one or more to your liking.
Great coaches, great facility, and great students. The coaches pay attention and give quality instruction, and the students are there for each other just as much as they are there for themselves. Everyone goes to learn and have a great time, and it shows. If you are looking for a safe and friendly place to practice Jiu Jitsu, this is the spot.
Where to start…so much positive to say about this academy.
Coach Mark is phenomenal, explains everything very well. Not just getting taught the physical moves to make but also the Science and strategy behind it.
The classes are well rounded. I walked in there my 1st very intimidated and didn’t know what to expect. I was pleased to quickly learn that all the other “students” are all very friendly, warm and welcoming. No tough guy egos, everyone helps each other.
I called around to many other schools and did a lot of research before making my final choice. I’m glad I picked This academy. I drive almost and hour to class and pass by many other BJJ facilities, nothing compares to Renzo Gracie Academy Milford. I look forward to growing my skills and myself here.
I started jiujitsu on a whim for the benefit of my children. As a 40+ year old woman I was doing it for the kids thinking I’d stick around long enough for them to feel confident. I kept showing up. Two years later I’m a blue belt and training at least 5 times a week. I’ve gained so much confidence on so many levels (so have my children). Mark is a phenomenal instructor. As an educator myself, I am always impressed with Mark’s depth of knowledge and his instructional delivery. He is very receptive to questions and dialogue during and after active training.
Truthfully, RGA Milford has become a second family to me. I love and trust my teammates. No matter how challenging or potentially damaging the skills are that we’re practicing…I feel safe. It’s such a positive environment. Now that I’ve been around the sport for a little bit I’m not sure I would have been as comfortable or successful training anywhere else.
