360 Defense Martial Arts Colchester 52 Mill Street, Colchester, CT 06415

"Amazing group of instructors!!! They are extremely professional and they go out of they're way to foster a positive family environment. My daughter loves it."

"I train at another school, but I decided to stop by when I learned they offered special veteran's BJJ classes, and I'm glad I did! The BJJ instructors are super friendly and welcoming, very knowledgeable, and great to learn from. My first time visiting, they even hung out with me for 40 minutes after class, just talking about the BJJ competitive scene and the old-school days of MMA. The facilities are also nice. Will definitely be returning once in a while, and recommending to my friends in the area."

"The Best crew! Instructors are Super personable,and encouraging, Clean Gym & lessons are so thought out and applied to possible real life self defense situations! Were happy to be returning with our second child."

"Being a part of the 360 Defense program for a few years now, my appreciation for the sport continues to grow with each and every class. Through the patience, experience and ability to teach every one of us how to be the best we can be, Master Hesser and all of his instructors (past and present) have been the key to this program for me. Anyone can be a teacher, but to be a teacher and a role model at the same time? Very difficult to do…but they do it day in and day out. I have developed the strength, endurance, and skill that it takes to grow as a martial artist because of them along with many great training partners. 360 is the epitome of family and I am grateful for it and the bonds that have been forged as a result of it. The encouragement, positive reinforcement and constructive feedback have made a world of difference in my life and hands down one of the best things I have done for myself. I cannot recommend this program enough."

"Great place, love the training and all the friends I have made on my journey to get my black belt. People there are very helpful and make class so enjoyable. It is a great workout, one I don't think I could get anywhere else. Never liked the gym atmosphere. always preferred to being outside walking in the woods etc. When I started I never even thought about how far I would go with this type of training. Was not sure I was physically capable of doing it. Much to my surprise, I love it. I have learned so much in the time I have been going, and I will continue to go as long as I am capable of doing this. My advice is do not let age and your mind limit you to what you try. If you do not try, you have already failed. Of course, the owner is great!!! ."
