Jiu Jitsu Life is the best training facility you’ll find. With world class instruction and unlimited classes, I’ve gained confidence that only comes from knowing that you’d be able to defend yourself and protect those you love if need be. You don’t have to visit or try out any other gym; Jiu Jitsu Life SCA is home.

There are plenty of gyms out there that can get you fit, but Jiu Jitsu Life is so much more than that. It is a family run place where everyone, young and old alike, can train and focus on self-improvement. Each training session, whether it is strength training, kickboxing or Jiu-Jitsu is focused on helping you discover the best version of yourself. Brian and Sharlene care about the members and are always nudging you gently out of your comfort zone each day for your own benefit.
I highly recommend this gym, as it will exceed your expectations for not only the fitness workouts, but for the quality

I've been going to Jiu Jitsu life for a couple years now, the people here are awesome, Fight Fit will get you in shape and keep you ready for the mat, everyone here is always willing to help each other out, especially Sharlene, she is fantastic ! Sarg (coach) is an exceptional instructor, motivator and his Jiu Jitsu is insane. Any age , any skill level , you will find what works for you.

I've been visiting from California for the past week, and decided to come here to train. From the start, Sarg and Brianna made me feel at home. Everyone else on the mats was very welcoming and helpful as well.
Any one teacher's jiu jitsu game is different from another, however, most great teachers have a few important qualities they have in common. Patience and attentiveness. Sarg is no exception. In addition to his legit credentials, and wealth of knowledge he brings to the table, he will stay with you working a specific technique until you have it down pat.

Both my daughter and I have been going to Jiu Jitsu Life for a year now and the level of instruction, facilities and price just can't be beat! Neither of us would want to go anywhere else. The outside of the building isn't as shiny as a lot of other places, but within you'll find world class instructors and training, for fitness and jiu jitsu!

A taste of West Coast Jiu Jitsu. Getting his Black Belt from Royler Gracie himself, Not to mention training with his close friends and training partners Dean Lister, Jocko Willink, and Jeff Glover for over 20 years. His dedication, experience level, and teaching motivation is unmatched. Jiu Jitsu Life is an amazing environment where we not only are teammates but also part of a family. I've been training jiu jitsu competitively since I was old enough to tie my belt, having won multiple Worlds and local tournaments throughout the years. Whithout Coach Brian and his support and dedication I wouldn

Jujitsu life has had an incredible impact in my life and The life of my family. Since I started I now bring my wife my daughter my son my sister and my brother-in-law in to train. There are very few men I've met in my life that has the character that Coach Brian has. In my opinion Jujitsu is the most rewarding activity that I can do with my family. It teaches discipline, humility, and work ethic. I consider it an honor to have such a high level coach as Coach Brian in Wallingford Connecticut. I Challenge anybody that's reading this to come down to Jujitsu life give it a week and Watch how addicted

The slogan states be part of something which is a difficult statement to believe and fully undeestand until your give Jiu Jitsu Life a try. I didn't expect to feel like I was part of a family and gain such a strong spirit of comradarie in a week! The owner and his family create an atmosphere of trust and community beyond anything I have experienced. You will challenge yourself beyond your limits (trust me) because of this environment and feel like you can't make it through the workout, but then immediately miss the academy as soon as you leave. I strongly recommend that you give Jiu Jitsu life

Jiu Jitsu Life is a place to become the best YOU possible. The owner and black belt instructor at the gym is an inspiring instructor. His back ground and Jiu Jitsu pedigree is beyond reproach. He coaches my 8 year old son, my beautiful wife, my parents and me. During his military career Coach served our country with honor, and now serves our community with that same distinction. I feel blessed to have found Jiu Jitsu Life, as I am a better person for it in so many ways more than physically. Jiu Jitsu has also strengthened our family bonds, as my eight year old son and I always have something to

Jiu jitsu life is the best training facility in the state of Connecticut.
Just walk in the front door and see the caliber of Athletes that are training and have trained under a true vested black belt.
I have recommended my family members and closest friends to join and they are extreemly pleased with the results.
Since my son has started less then 6 months ago he has adopted a stringent training ethic, healthier life style and phicial strength he never achieved in other sports.
Drop in and see for yourself.....
You will be impressed and most definitely not leave an angry person.

I showed up to Jiu Jitsu Life a little over 3 months ago completely out of shape and overweight. I am happy to report that since I've joined, I've lost 60 lbs. and I've basically been given my life back. Coach Sarg has been an huge inspiration and motivator for me - he always knows how to get maximum effort out of me, and his teaching methods are to-the-point and extremely effective. I've never once felt lost or out of place at Jiu Jitsu Life - our gym feels like one big family that I enjoy being a part of a couple hours a day. As someone who's never done jiu jitsu before, it has been an addictive

This place is fantastic! My 8 year old is becoming so confident and focused, even in other areas like school and social settings. The owner is amazingly patient with the kids, and they seem to learn so much each class. I think it's about time old dad got on the mat too. I couldn't recommend Jiu Jitsu Life enough.
