My husband and I did a drop in open mat and were welcomed by everyone there. Highly recommend, super family and military friendly. Good people, great rolls! Schedule posted online made it easy to find mat times, gym was clean, mats mopped down and everything. If we are ever back in the area, we will definitely be going back.
I can't say enough good things about Whaling City Athletic Club. I came to Groton over the winter time for some work for about three months and was looking for a place to train Jiu Jitsu. Whaling City was the first place I went, and I am so lucky that that's where I ended up. First of all, Jay was so inviting and was incredibly professional and accommodating with a fee schedule that was generous, to say the least. Additionally, the level of training there is fantastic. I train mostly Jiu Jitsu, and I had the opportunity to get in some other work through some of the classes that they had available (there are tons). Additionally, the training was excellent. They have some fantastic black belts and instructors who not only have a lot of competition and MMA experience but are the perfect combination of tough and technical which makes higher level training really fun. The training environment was fantastic, and the people that I met were instantly friendly and were over-the-top accommodating. There are not many businesses that I run into that are top to bottom really great places to be, but this is one of them. I really hope to be able to come back here and train one day.
My dad has been going to this INCREDIBLE gym for years now. He has Parkinson's Disease, and the classes that he takes with fellow men and women, are exactly what he needs. When I say, this place, is the MOST caring, hands on, energetic gym, I CANNOT say it enough. ALL the instructors, are the most caring set of guys, and keep my dad involved, with respect, kindness and true positivity. We would be lost without this gym, and excellent staff. I am forever grateful for them. Thank you, every day
Jay is a super cool guy and very welcoming. I enjoyed training at the Mega BJJ Open Mat and had a fun time. Everyone that I met were just great people overall. I’m glad that I made the drive and trained with everyone. Whaling City is an awesome place to train BJJ. They offer a lot of martial arts and have a great schedule. Highly recommended. Easy 5/5. Thanks for having me Jay. It was a pleasure meeting you.
Great Gym, Great staff & coaches ! Took a visit here while on vacation from another state. Jay & Kim made me feel welcomed from the time I stepped foot in the door ! I will definitely be back here every time I visit New London
