F.I.T.E. Fit Glastonbury’s premier jiu-jitsu facility for all ages

Having trained in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu at various academies worldwide, I can confidently say that Fite Fit in Glastonbury, Connecticut, stands out as exceptional. The instructors, lead by Coach Julian Rivera, are highly knowledgeable and skilled in Jiu-Jitsu. The cleanliness of the gym and mats is unmatched - Coach Julian's meticulous care ensures a pristine training environment that reflects his dedication to the teaching of BJJ.

Coach Julian's teaching style is both practical and effective, catering to practitioners of all levels. His expertise in techniques like the North-South choke is notorious. What truly distinguishes Fite Fit is their commitment to improving; Julian and his team regularly visit elite academies across the country, bringing back cutting-edge techniques and insights that elevate the training experience.

Fite Fit also serves as a gathering place for experienced practitioners. It's common to see respected black belts from other academies dropping by to share their knowledge, enriching the depth of learning available. Beyond the exceptional instruction, the teammates at Fite Fit are incredibly welcoming and supportive, making every training session enjoyable. A special shout-out to Lee for being an awesome training partner.

After thorough research in the area, choosing Fite Fit was an easy decision - it's undoubtedly the premier academy in town. Hats off to Coach Julian for maintaining a clean, respectful, and high-level academy. I look forward to continuing my Jiu-Jitsu journey at Fite Fit. Greetings from Costa Rica!!

My names Shawn Allen I've been apart of the FITE FIT tribe for 3 months now. Studying under Julian Rivera has for me been a complete transformation of mind body and spirit. Every student I've met has been so motivated to learn with me wich is a great benefit. There are 3 other instructors there that are just absolutely incredible jujitsu specialists. I totally recommend this place if your looking to change your life or just get into shape.

I recently joined FITEfit in December and I have had nothing but a great experience at the gym and with the people. I left a gym I loved and people I loved for an opportunity to get more training in because of the wider variety of classes both in the gi and in no gi. It was a great decision for my BJJ journey. Not only does this school have a man incredible schedule, but the owner/coach is a great person and puts so much care and effort into the gym as well as each student as an individual. FITE is very active in the community, I have seen multiple fundraising efforts for good causes as well as support showed for students who are trying to compete in BJJ and in wrestling.

This gym and team are focused on cleanliness, safety, and ego free environment where all ages, sizes and skill levels are welcome to come and train to get better on the mats and in their personal lives. There are lots of great places to train, and this one is a good as any. Don't take my word for it, do a trial class and see for yourself. It’s a great place and I’m confident you will feel just as I do. Good luck in your journey.

I have been a member at Fite for 3 months as a white belt. This gym has a great community of practitioners with a lot of experience that can provide challenges as well as growth. There is something for everyone here from beginners to more experienced. You can find great fundamentals and great rolls from the coaches like Julian, but most importantly you can find great people!

The most inviting, professional, premier jiu jitsu gym around! The professors are all very high level and amazing mentors, this academy makes you feel apart of their family!

I highly recommend the JiuJitsu children's class! Coach Julian, Sensei Terry and the other coaches are fantastic at creating a fun and safe environment for kids to learn the techniques and build confidence. The class is a great balance between physical activity and learning. You can tell the instructors really enjoy teaching the kids and watching them progress in skill level. My son tried other martial arts classes but they didn’t really fit with his “style” of learning. I'm impressed with how the instructors tailor their approach to each child's needs, ensuring everyone progresses at their own pace. Big thanks to coach J!!!

Both my son and daughter go to classes several times a week and have been for months. It has been a wonderful experience for both my children but mostly for my 13 year old son. Jay has been such an amazing coach,mentor and friend to us. I highly recommend F.I.T.E Fit to anyone looking to get themselves or children into jujitsu. The staffs dedication here is unmatched and it shows 👏. Thank you

As a current female member of F.I.T.E Fit, I can’t think of any environment where I’ve felt as respected & valued as I do here. It’s been an excellent experience with both coach Jay and coach David. The classes are structured and informative for all levels. The environment is supportive and clean.

White belt-black belt everyone is treated with the same amount of respect and encouraged to become the best version of themselves. I can’t recommend fite fit enough.
