Rapadura jiujitsu 117 Mount Pleasant Road, Newtown, CT 06470

"Our 10 year old was looking for a new activity and had tried a few various forms of martial arts. Rapadura was by far his (and our) favorite experience due to the care and friendliness not only of Coach Leo and family, but from all other students young and old, novice and experienced. It has been 6 months, the Rapadura family has grown, and so has our kids' confidence and skills. The training, teaching, and knowledge is top tier rivaling any other gym. What is most apparent and sets Rapadura apart is the care that all give for every student to develop their growth not only in the art, but also as an individual."

"I'm reluctant to tell anyone about how amazing this place is. I don't want the secret to get out, but then that wouldn't be fair to everyone else! Rapadura is the best school our family has attended over many years and many states. Leo, Tyler, and Miles are amazing instructors: patient, knowledgeable, driven, respectful. Everything you could hope for in a place of learning. In the short time that we've been attending it's become like a second home to our family. If you've ever been uncertain about BJJ, or are just looking for a new school, stop by. Give it a shot. You'll be glad you did."

"Amazing family owned gym, with kick boxing and jujitsu that is welcoming for all ages and experience levels. The coaches Leo, Ty, and Miles will make you feel like part of the family your first day."

"I'm not a very sports person but I took some free trial kickboxing and jiu jitsu classes in Rapadura and I'll definitely be back! The classes are very easy to understand and I felt very comfortable in that place. Teachers answer all our questions amicably, and teach us to be confident in our own way."

"Wonderful place. My son & grandson love the classes. First time my son has been excited about a sport looks forward to classes every week. Friendly and Very clean place."
