    Awesome gym, filled with better people. While working in New Haven for a couple of weeks, I've had the pleasure of training at Soulcraft. I reached out by email prior to my trip, and was given a quick and welcoming response. As for the training: world class. Over the last 5 years, I've trained at a number of gyms while traveling, Brad's spot is exceptional by any standard. Clean facility, top notch instruction and a warm but competitive community. If you're visiting, or new to the area, I highly recommend Soulcraft.

    With 14 years of professional fitness/personal training/group fitness experience, I give this operation 5 stars. It is an open, family-friendly spot with an awesome array of classes: beginner to more advanced, drilling to sparring. Whether you want to hit with or without gloves, or roll with or without a GI, Soulcraft has you covered. The facility is clean, well heated, and open for MMA. I've been a member of other MMA locations in the past, and I feel Soulcraft has facilitated my advancement very well by offering ease in training options. The member base is fantastic, and everyone was exceedingly friendly when they recognized me as new, and welcomed me right in. You get a community at Soulcraft. I don't have children, but I love how many families are using this place (Soulcraft even offered parents a couple hours of child supervision on Valentine's Day!); I also appreciate the community event emails that go out to the members. If you are serious about MMA, don't worry--the kids clear out and the adults come in and sparring is a thing. Lots of parking, and located next to convenience shops like gas, a supermarket, and drug stores. Soulcraft has been easy for me to squeeze into my busy schedule.

    I visited Soulcraft 4-5 times while in the area visiting family and only have good things to say about this place. Truly, what a gem of a gym. I reached out to them on Facebook and one of the coaches, Jeff, was quick to reply with information about training. I met the owner, Brad, when I visited the next day. He gave me a warm welcome and made me feel right at home. Everyone I trained with—from white belts to black belts—was kind, considerate, skilled, and eager to discuss techniques and share advice. I will 100% be visiting the next time I'm in town. A huge thank you to Brad, Jeff, Peter—and all of the coaches and staff! See you next time.

    My experience at this Gym was very welcoming. I was in Connecticut on a Work trip for two weeks. I called the gym and I asked if I could join for two weeks. The Owners / coaches we’re very professional and actually care about the sport. They allowed me to train for two weeks with them, now due to my situation normally gym will have me pay for one month to train for the 2 weeks when I travel. This Gym had a variety of levels and experiences, the coaches are very knowledgeable , very technical and care about you learning the correct technique. Everyone was friendly and was there for the sport. I would give this gym five out of five and if I lived in Connecticut, I would join them immediately. Thank you Soulcraft MMA.

    I have been training in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu at Soulcraft Martial Arts for three weeks and it has been a wonderful experience. The instructors are respectful, friendly and always willing to explain more in detail. Although the classes combine people with different levels, the dynamics allow the class to flow smoothly. However, my greatest appreciation is for the open atmosphere that has been established within the class, a space free of ego. I have received extensive instruction and advice from the more experienced students, which has greatly enriched my learning experience. Highly recommended for everyone!
