PUBLIC REVIEW
I’ve been going to this gym for about four months now, since the start of July. I can confidently say that this is one of the best workout spots in Connecticut. with a multitude of things to do, ranging from Judo to Jiu Jitsu to an open gym, i would highly recommend checking this place out. as a high schooler with a pretty tight schedule, the times it’s open and the help they give are absolutely amazing. it’s always a blast to do the Jiu Jitsu classes especially, and i fully recommend this to any person wanting to gain strength, confidence, or to learn martial arts.

PUBLIC REVIEW
This place is great. I walked in here four years ago with absolutely no experience whatsoever and was immediately welcomed in by everyone. Matt Is the heart of the place and keeps track of all our skills and progress. Ruben‘s a hell of a combat coach and Chris kills it at strength training.

I joined TRITAC with no MMA or BJJ experience, and this gym has been amazing. The coaches explain everything clearly, the training is challenging in a good way, and the community is incredibly welcoming. I always leave feeling stronger and supported. Highly recommend!

PUBLIC REVIEW
My son Mateo absolutely loves attending classes! Since starting, we’ve seen such a positive change in his confidence, discipline, and self-defense skills. Coach Matt and Coach Cole are incredible — they’re patient, motivating, and really know how to connect with the kids. Mateo looks forward to every class and comes home proud of what he’s learned. We’re so grateful for the supportive environment they’ve created. Highly recommend this gym to any parent looking for a place where their child can grow, learn, and thrive!

This is an environment that makes you feel like family. Everyone has respect first! I have been working with Ruben for a few months now. I couldn’t have found a better fit for a coach. Go join the great place to make you better!

First-time martial artists

DIRECT TESTIMONIAL
I had zero martial arts background. Walked in at 38, scared. Two months later I am rolling, drilling, and actually look forward to it. The coaching is the difference.

Lost 28 lbs in the first 6 months. Sleep better. Stronger than I have been in 15 years. The training pushed me without breaking me.

Hybrid Kickstart + Strength + Jiu-Jitsu.
DIRECT TESTIMONIAL
Coach Matt and the team built a real martial arts school. Not a McDojo. Not a fight gym. A school. That distinction matters.

My son was getting picked on at school. After three months at TRITAC, his teachers told us he is calmer, more focused, and stands up for himself in the right way.

The youth program is structured. The coaches care. My daughter actually asks to go to class. That tells me everything.

● WHY PEOPLE STAY

The pattern across every story.

  • Coaches who actually coach, watch, and correct.
  • A respect-first room that takes the work seriously without taking itself theatrically seriously.
  • A clear path from beginner to capable — Fundamentals → 21-Day Kickstart → ongoing classes → optional comp track.
  • Hard training is respected. Hard sparring is earned.
  • Members help each other get better. The culture is the curriculum.
