Plus One Defense Systems

As a mother of 4, I needed to find a school with teachers that offered structure and discipline but were also understanding and patient towards kids in particular. I was drawn to Plus One Defense Systems not only based on the incredible reviews they have but also by talking to other moms who have their children training in other places I thought I was interested in! I am so relieved I didnt sign up anywhere else. This dojo is not only one of the cleanest I've been to (which is super important to me as a mom) but is also so welcoming that my family feels comfortable training here. I didn't have ANY interest in learning martial arts at first, but there's such a variety of styles and the teachers are so caring that I just had to give it a shot and I'm so happy I did! I feel more confident than ever, I have more energy and have even made great friends! The prices are awesome as well in comparison to other schools, specially when you sign up for the two year contract. My kids are happy here which makes their mama happier! I can not recomend this school enough to women, parents and just about anyone who has ever had the slightest curiosity in martial arts!! Pay the school a visit for yourself and I promise you will NOT regret it!!!

Outstanding martial arts studio, definitely a cut above the others we've tried in the area for my son. Most importantly, I never felt soaked for fees like at a "belt mill" churning out 9 year old balsa-busting black belts after passing dozens of $60 "tests". This place is about learning the art. The instructors are caring, knowledgeable and command respect from the students. Many different styles to choose from. Great facilities. Highly recommend!

After visiting a couple other gyms in the area, my family and I decided to stay at Plus One Defense. The atmosphere inside along with the friendly staff made us feel welcome, part of the family. We still feel that way after being members for 4 months.Each staff member bring a lot of experience and really take time to make sure we learn techniques the right way. They all have a passion for what they teach which clearly shows.They gym itself is always clean and offers several different styles of martial arts. With the ability to try many styles, it's easy to realize your favorites allowing you to focus on what you like best. The class schedule offers many options so regardless of your life/work schedule, you can find a time that fits.In summary, it was a great decision for us to join as a family. Plus One fits us like a glove. Love it here!

This place blew my mind from the moment I walked in. It honestly has everything you need, the equipment there is top of the line and the instructors deliver great classes night after night. Before Plus One I tried several other places both in Connecticut and mass but none could offer the schedule flexibility and types of styles that Plus One offers. Completely recommend this place to anyone, either if your new to Martial Arts or highly experienced. I joined right after my first class and will stay with them for years to come .

I love Plus One! The staff is very helpful and knowledgeable, the students are friendly, and the facilities are excellent. I've been taking the Muai Thai classes there for about a year and a half. The classes are always different so you don't get bored, and have helped me get into better shape, relieve my stress and improve my skills. It really is a very welcoming place for children and adults alike. Highest recommendation!

I am 43 years old and have been weight training for all of my adult life and was looking to add another dimension to my training to help trim down (I am not a fan of the treadmill!). I wrestled extensively in my youth and was looking for a place where I would fit in. When I sent an online request for a trial session I immediately received a response from Darin, inviting me in the next morning. What I found at Team Plus One is an environment of coaching and learning. There is a true sense of belonging and everyone there is focused on personal development. If you are looking for a place to learn, grow and 'fit', then Team Plus One is where you need to be.

I have been training martial arts on and off my whole life, getting more serious in the last few years. I have been to schools through NJ, PA, and now CT. Plus One Defense Systems is second to none. …

Plus One Defense Systems is an amazing place. I have been attending Kung-Fu Karate classes there twice a week for seven years and I have never had a doubt in my mind about leaving. As soon as you walk in the door, you are welcomed by warm faces and kind people. All of the instructors are smart, kind, and genuine people. When you are inside you feel like you are one of the family! I love it here and would recommend it to any person of any age.

As a student for over 5 years i can verify that plus one is a fantastic school. The staff is superior going above and beyond their traditional duties. Breaking down instructions and making things more understandable and retainable is just …

Plus One Defense Systems in West Hartford is truly a fabulous place for women to learn martial arts. I have trained there for several years in multiple disciplines, and I absolutely love it. It has changed my life for the better in many ways. I actually walk down the street with my purse open, pretending to limp, just for the chance to test out my self-defense skills. I’m kidding, but I am secretly serious. :) The atmosphere at Plus One is welcoming and inviting. The instructors are knowledgable, friendly, and professional. Also, there are plenty of other women (of all ages) to train with. FIVE ninja stars for this place; it is my home away from home!
