What members say

“As a 40+ year old woman I was doing it for the kids… 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).”

“My daughter and I both train. RGA is a place where we are supported, feel safe and train hard… As a woman it was very comforting to find a large group of women who welcomed me with open arms.”

“I only wanted the best BJJ and Gracie lineage, and my research kept bringing me to Renzo Gracie in Milford… My son started at 9 and has been at RGA Milford for 2 years. Then I joined, and now I'm fully training here with my son. I recommend any parent to look into RGA Milford for the expertise, discipline and the training that is Gracie lineage.”

“I walked in there my 1st very intimidated and didn't know what to expect… No tough guy egos, everyone helps each other. I drive almost an hour to class and pass by many other BJJ facilities, nothing compares.”

“Great coaches, great facility, and great students. If you are looking for a safe and friendly place to practice Jiu Jitsu, this is the spot.”

“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.”

“I've been training Jiu Jitsu here for a while now, and this gym gets everything right. The space is great, the setting is family oriented, and it's always neat and clean. Above all, Mark Cerrone is a tremendous instructor: extremely knowledgeable, and easy to understand and follow. Mark really makes you feel at home, almost like the place is yours.”

“Our children have been members for a long time, and it has become so much more than just a place to learn Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu… They learn not only the techniques and discipline of Jiu-Jitsu, but also confidence, self-control, respect, and how to handle difficult situations; including how to diffuse conflict and deal with bullying without immediately resorting to confrontation… As parents, we've seen our children grow in confidence, discipline, and maturity through their time here.”

“It's a great place to train! Mark is amazing! He is a true master of the craft. The gym is a true lineage of the Gracie livelihood. If you ever thought about joining, you should!”

“My son has been going for 2 years and loves it. The coaches are amazing and the confidence and skills my son has learned are worth any amount of money. Highly recommend for any parent that wants to get their child involved in martial arts or self defense.”

“A clean, family friendly environment. Renzo Gracie Milford offers a patient and fundamental approach to learning jiu jitsu that leads to increased discipline, fitness, and confidence for the student. And it's fun too.”

“My son has been training for over 3 years and I take adult classes as well. Everyone is so welcoming, from coaches to teammates, parents and students. My son's skills have developed quickly and he has started helping out in the younger classes as well… Everything the coaches teach aligns with our family's values and the academy is a great place to be!”

“My son started taking the Young Lions class at the academy about a year ago. I can't say enough about how wonderful this place is… They teach not only defense skills but also good manners, discipline, respect, and how to stand up to bullies. If you are looking for an activity for your kids that builds character and resilience, look no further than Renzo Gracie in Milford!”

“It's a place where children feel safe, motivated, and supported. The coaches are highly skilled and truly dedicated, teaching not only Jiu-Jitsu but also discipline, respect, and perseverance. My children love training here and feel confident and part of a community. I highly recommend it to any family!”

“My daughter has been going for over a year now, and I am pleased with her progress and development… It is a safe and encouraging environment for all.”

“Great place to train… my 3 daughters all train there going on 4 years and all have shown amazing growth and confidence… kids classes are great as well as the adult classes.”

“Mark's an awesome coach; the training environment there is fantastic. Everyone's super nice, and the seminars are packed with great stuff. You always learn something new and get better at your moves. I'd totally recommend it.”

“Have been training here for about a month and highly recommend as someone who has been training for almost two years. Clean, professional and fantastic instruction.”

“I've been training Jiu jitsu for about 5 months and I was amazed how this martial art helped me increase my confidence and strength, the instructors are professionals and willing to help improve your skills. If you want to learn self defense in a friendly environment this is the place.”

“Enthusiastic and knowledgeable staff. Personalized attention from staff offers great training from the beginner to advanced students.”
