Excellent school of Jiu Jitsu. Just moved to New Haven. Came here as a brown belt and I love the instruction, variations and attention to detail. Very cool spot with good energy. If you’re a beginner or have experience Ronin will take care of you.
Posted 6 months agoThis was my very first time doing Muay Thai, and BJJ. I was super nervous but the coaches there, Tim and Dave take care of you. They’re understanding, and patient. Love the environment, everyone is super welcoming and supportive, love it!
Posted 5 months agoI have trained in California for 15 years and Coach Tim was very welcoming when i tried his class on Wednesday evening Muay Thai. A-lot of knowledge was shared and everyone was very nice to me as the new guy!
Posted 6 months agoCool gym, great atmosphere, friendly people, but let’s be honest that’s the norm when it comes to jiu jitsu environments. I’m giving this gym a 1 star because apparently the showers are private. I’ve been to A LOT (over 30 different gyms) of jiu jitsu gyms and I’ve never once been to a gym that had showers but I was denied from using them after class. Especially in a sport where you can get staph and ringworm access to the showers is a necessary part of our sport. So I’d say steer clear of this gym if you can, there are way more generous and accepting owners and environments where the showers are for everyone that spends time on the mats.
Posted 1 year agoI've known this gym for almost 2 years now and although I don't go as often as I used to for Muay Thai, it is the best decision I made. The coaches and the class are very welcoming. Even if you're shy, as myself, you won't feel overwhelmed. As a matter of fact, I felt that this place helped me find confidence within myself and get out of my shell. They are open to all ages and have other opportunities beyond just training if you're very consistent, like fighting in competitions! They also offer private lessons with one of the coaches. I had the opportunity to have 2 classes with Tim and I would say the advice he gave me for kicking and balance definitely changed my approach when training. Since it's a one-on-one class, it's a more in-depth/focused training towards you, however, in group classes, the coaches still advise you well on your technique. Overall, I would recommend this place for anyone who wants to get into martial arts but doesn't know where to start as you're guided well every step of the way :)
