“I've been training at Greenwich Jiu Jitsu Academy for over a year now and, despite not having any background in martial arts, I was welcomed into the gym and have since come to love training under all of the coaches. The gym culture is incredibly welcoming and encouraging for beginners, while still offering high-level training and sparring for more experienced people. I recommend that everyone in the area to at least have a go at a trial class!“

“Our son has been taking classes for almost a year now and we have seen such growth in him both in and out of class. These classes aren’t only about the skills of karate but they are about body control, and working together, and learning how to be an overall better little human. Sensei Palardy is seriously an angel right here on earth. What he is able to get out of the littlest kiddos is astounding. We are so thankful to have found Legacy Martial Arts.“

“I've had the honor of visiting Kongoshinkan Dojo at Aikido of Norwalk on quite a few occasions now , and it has always been an excellent experience. Brody Sensei and his team are welcoming, patient, and very knowledgeable, and the students create a warm, respectful training environment. I immediately felt at home on the mat, even as a guest from another dojo. By my second visit I felt like family. The training was both challenging and enjoyable, and I came away learning a lot. If you’re interested in Aikido, I highly recommend checking out this dojo.“
