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.
this week at Crossroads BJJ we’ve been studying the scissor sweep, learning how to apply the technique, how to shut down the Jiu-Jitsu technique and then what techniques can be applied based on those defenses. It is this process of action and reaction that makes Jiu-Jitsu so effective. In a fight or a competition there […]
Yesterday at Crossroads BJJ we promoted 3 Jiu-Jitsu students to the rank of Blue Belt. The rank of blue belt is a significant achievement in BJJ, as it shows from a technical stand point you know what to do in each of the five positions on the Mat. The rank of blue belt also shows […]
This mornings 6am Jiu-Jitsu class focused on the side control position covering how we use our arms, legs and most importantly our torso to control the Jiu-Jitsu player in the bottom position. In lesson 1 of the Crossroads BJJ Curriculium we discussed how to move your body to escape side control and move to the […]
in tonight’s Fundamentals class we covered three techniques, a takedown from the clinch, an elbow escape and an arm bar. These three Jiu-Jitsu techniques make up one possible fight senerio, you are taken down and find yourself underneath somebody, you elbow escape to the guard where you can more effectively use your body to protect […]
As Jiu-Jitsu has evolved since the early days of the UFC and the Gracie Family bringing Jiu-Jitsu to America many techniques have been created and many trends in bjj have come and gone, but none of these trends have been as significant as the latest evolution in the Jiu-Jitsu game, the modern leg locking systems.

This morning during the 6am Jiu-Jitsu class at Crossroads BJJ we discussed moving from the closed guard to the open guard. In the case where the top Jiu-Jitsu player has established a good base and their arms are in the correct position it can be very difficult to either sweep or submit, so in order […]
The difference between the Fundamentals and Team Training program at Crossroads BJJ other then the types of techniques we cover is how long we spend covering one particular topic. When a student first joins Crossroads Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu the goal is to help them understand the basics in each position and help you feel comfortable and […]
One of the most common sayings in Jiu-Jitsu is “Technique over Strength”, this essentially means that you want to correctly position your body so that you are using the majority of your body both muscularity and structurally to attack or “weaken” your bjj training partners body. Over the last several weeks we have been working […]
