First time there I was told to do what everyone else was doing and I was bound to hurt myself because there was no instruction on how to do things properly. So if safety isn’t an issue for you then go ahead and try a class. Not for me.
I called just asking about if there was a mask requirement and not only was I hung up on but was tried to talked out of my opinion. I just said that we are not comfortable with indoor activities without masks and to have a good day and mark interrupted me with incorrect medical information. Not knowing my home situation with a special needs child and sick grandparent. Oh and he hung up on me!!! These people say they are teaching respect and self control maybe you should look else where because obviously they need help themselves in that department!
Everything good about jiu-jitsu is and MMA is encompassed through this team and gym.Mark is team of the greatest professors in Jiujitsu and MMA.
Beautiful facility and incredible instruction! Highly recommended
This is an excellent place to train. It is very hard to find schools that teach useful skills where students train seriously, train with high intensity, and respect their fellow training partners. This is one of those places. I find the training here to be outstanding. There is great camaraderie amongst all the members of the team. It also provides a sense of home for young athletes. Seeing how several years of training turned young boys and girls into confident men and women encouraged me to enroll my own children in the academy as well.
Amazing place to train. I started my journey a couple months ago and Mark, Marek and the team are all welcoming, helpful and awesome people to be around! This place will change your life!
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. Definitely give it a try if you are thinking about training.
It is very good because my son has been punched and I want him to learn how to protect himself and jiu jitsu does bully proof training (Self defense)
I’ve been training @Renzo’s for 6 years and I love it here. Mark knows his stuff, mats are always clean, and it’s a great culture here. If you are interested in learning the art of jujitsu I highly recommend it.
Great place to train!! Mark is an old school JuiJitsu black belt with the lineage to prove it. If you live in the area and ever wanted to train come here you won’t be dissapointed.
Been going for a few months now and really enjoying it. Instructors and students all great people to train and learn with
Really nice gym, friendly staff, and Mark is a really nice guy he has passion for what he does!I highly recommend this gym you won’t be disappointed!
Not just a fantastic gym for adults. Its a great place for kids to develop social skills while learning how to set goals, overcome challenges, and experience achievement.
It is an amazing local resource to haver the highest level of Gracie Jiu Jitsu in the area. Mark is an established and senior Black Belt under Jiu Jitsu and MMA legend Renzo Gracie!

Great gym I have ben training there since 2008. Now me and two of my children train there.
The Renzo Gracie Jiu Jitsu system is legendary throughout the realm of combat sports world. All the RGA academies have the basic Jiu Jitsu fundamentals that are highly sought out by civilians, law enforcement and military units. In addition, the system has also paved the way for professional fighters and UFC hall of famers.In the Connecticut region, Professor Mark Cerrone brings to the table an unbroken lineage and authentic Gracie Jiu Jitsu. His teaching method is thorough, technical and philosophical, which is the hall mark of the Gracie system.The academy environment is friendly, family oriented and its gear towards individuals of all walks of life. The instructors and coaches are very humble and they allow you to progress at your own pace, which is extremely important if youre seeking to learn Jiu Jitsu. I have been a member of the Renzo Gracie Academy for over two years, so I highly recommended it.
Instructors are amazing, patient and friendly! I would suggest this place to any person or family looking to focus on fitness or self defense!!!
