Great instructor and students I highly recommended this school.
Had a great time with the folks at crossroads BJJ gym. I'm a visitor from out of town and the welcomed me in. No attitudes nothing but friendly folks! Their professor Dustin Rhodes is very knowledgeable and inviting. I got a chance to roll with him and even though he could shut me down with every move you was light and respectful of my abilities. This is reflected in his students. Not one meathead in the bunch �. Any way, top notch. Thanks for letting me train with you all!
Cool men and women that enjoy learning and helping one another get better. Quality of instruction is very good, and it’s obvious that a lot of care is put into the development of the trainees. Nothing is free so you’ll have to put in the time on the mats to progress. Be prepared to discover the many stages of white belt. Great exercise and a lot of fun learning a useable skill that not many people out there know.
Instructor is wonderful with kids. Very patient and has them engaged throughout the whole class time.
Crossroads BJJ is an excellent place for anyone with zero experience to more advanced. The classes are thought by people who are willing to help you out throughout the learning process and understand the importance of the basics in other to develop cohesive and fundamental grappling skills. Also, the classes vary from a larger group to more intimate sessions. So, there is really nothing to be afraid of; Crossroads BJJ in CT has you covered.
Dustin’s instruction is high level and detailed, everyone is extremely welcoming, and the gym is beautiful. It was an excellent visit and I definitely recommend Crossroads!
All four of my children love it. Top notch instruction, warm and welcoming staff.

The knee-on-belly position in bjj is very dynamic allowing the bjj player in the top position an amazing amount of mobility but also the ability to generate an incredible […]
Last we worked on three powerful techniques from the Guard, the Kimora, the guillotine, and the bump sweep. These techniques work together to form a chain of techniques where the defense for one creates the opening for another. It is this mindset, the idea that we are trying to flow into the most efficient technique […]

Another great Guard passing Class in the books! Breaking the Closed guard from standing and then working two guard passes and a knee bar submission. In Jiu-jitsu we always want to pick the easiest move. If your opponent blocks the path to the right, go left, if they block left, go right. This way we […]
