I started from scratch, I had zero fight experience and I'm very conflict avoidant. I'm now in the advanced classes and in the best shape I've been in in long time, both mentally and physically. Great People, great classes, and great teachers. One of the best martial arts schools in CT, and they have the trophies to prove it.

Thorntons is a gym that I will always come back to and I always wish I had more time to train at. Not only do the teachers consistently put in the time and effort to help you succeed, but the other students in the classes help you grow as well. I always notice improvements in my technique and fitness and love my time there.

My kid is 6, and he really enjoys coming here and wants to practice at home as well. We go 4 days a week and the instructors are always kind to us and he always likes to talk about what he learned and what games they get to play on certain days.
