Fighting Arts Academy CT

Just 1 week in and already have a boost in stamina, flexibility and confidence.Looking forward to 1 month and eventually 1 year of progress!

I'd give six stars if it was an option. I joined FAA about one year ago at 30 years old with no martial arts experience. The coaches are extremely knowledgeable, welcoming but also stern and effective. The culture is fantastic, people are close, root for eachother and work together to improve. Whether you're a fighter in your young 20's or a parent in their 50's there's classes that fit what you're looking for, as long as you're up to the challenge. I only wish I would have joined sooner.

Pulling up to the 6:00 PM kickboxing class is one of my favorite things to look forward to when I get finished at the office. Nick Newell is one of the most talented, inspirational and kind athletes I've ever met. I stink and he helps me every step of the way... I'm proud to wear my jersey anywhere I go and talk about FAA. Any age, any level of skill or athletics, there is a team of professionals to help you drop your bad habits and leave with a smile. I can't make it as often as I'd like, but when I do it feels comfortable on the mats.

This is one of the best places I have ever been to. As a newcomer, and someone new to the martial arts practiced here, all the instructors have been very open and upfront with me. They speak from a place of authority without talking down to anyone. They were not only patient and took the time to help me learn personally, but it is also apparent that they work to maintain a safe and positive atmosphere. They made sure that I was able to participate in whatever activity I was able to be a part of and paired me with people that could work with me and show me what to do. Above all, this place is very inclusive of all people. I am so grateful that I found this place and have the opportunity to study here. So far, all of the other students have also been happy to show me what they know and help me learn. I could hang out here every day.

Whether you’re new to MMA looking to learn and get in shape, or experienced and hoping to pursue your amateur and professional fighting goals there’s no better gym in the state. The coaches and team around always push you to become the best version of yourself. Great for any age or experience level.

Excellent price for the amount of knowledge and experience Nick and Roger bring. Family atmosphere, you’ll come to improve your skills and stay for the camaraderie!

Been going to FAA for a little over two months. The coaching is top tier. Nick is an amazing and motivational coach who is looking to have everyone reach their goals. Everyone there is out to better one another. No matter what your goal, FAA is the place to go.

Whether you are a beginner or a professional coach nick treats all his students goals whether they be to become a world champion or get in shape As very important and motivates you to reach that goal. Family atmosphere and very friendly for anyone interested in joining I would recommend 100 percent and by far the best priced gym as well for what you learn !

Phenomenal facility. The instructors are amazing and full of knowledge and experience. The environment is fun and positive. Clean facility. True definition of a MIXED MARTIAL ARTS gym. If you are looking to become a well rounded fighter or just a unique and fun way to exercise then this is absolutely the place for you. HIGHLY recommend giving it a try.

Very clean facility and classes 6 days a week. The instructor Nick makes sure the whole class is on the same page and provides an excellent workout. Would highly recommend to anyone looking to get started in martial arts as well as those already experienced!
