From the moment I stepped into the gym I felt welcomed. I was greeted with a smile and was encouraged to go at the pace that I desired. All the students are very kind and always willing to help. I found the instructors to be really great, caring, funny, and good people. My experience have been 2 thumbs up and I'm happy I found this place. If you can wake up early on a Sunday, stop by Davids kick boxing class at 9 am! P.S Don't forget to pick up one of their cool stickers!

Took an intro to 10th planet JJ the guys at Radius could not be more welcoming and helpful. I can't wait to go back and cross train with them.

I’ve been going to Radius for about 4 months now. The quality of instruction and sense of community is something that brings me back and can’t be replicated easily. I would highly recommend checking this place out if you’re interested in BJJ, Muay Thai, MMA or if you’re just trying to figure out something new and exciting to do. No egos here, just drilling and rolling.
John Hirsch
A very welcoming gym with passionate people that aren't afraid to do hard work. Encouraging and patient with newer students but able to bring an intense effort to those who are advanced. The coaches are a great mix of teaching and motivating.

Joined here about a year and a half ago from another gym and it’s a great community and excellent coaching for BJJ whether you’re looking for gi or no gi.

I can't say enough positive things about Radius. From the moment I arrived, I was warmly welcomed by the community. What I found is that this is a community consisting of all different ages and backgrounds. You can be the person who wants to be a competitor to someone who is trying to get active and out of the house from the spouse and kids. This is not just a place to learn Jiu-Jitsu; it's a place to have fun. Travis (Owner) and the rest of the coaches have created an environment where you can be serious about learning martial arts while also laughing and enjoying yourself. In the year since I started, I've learned so much and loved every minute of it. I only wish I had found this place and started attending sooner. The schedule is fantastic, with training always going on daily, and all the coaches are dedicated to student safety, especially for newcomers. I really appreciate how every coach has their own unique style, approach, and, of course, sense of humor. You will never be bored; that I can promise you. Attending different classes will definitely expand your reach in terms of learning new techniques. If you're even remotely interested in Jiu-Jitsu or Muay Thai and not sure how to start or if you're on the fence, I highly recommend stopping by Radius. It's been an incredible experience, and I'm grateful to have found such a welcoming and supportive community.

My son has been training at Radius Martial Arts for the past 6 years in both Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Muay Thai. What started as a martial arts program has become much more than that. The family-like atmosphere has helped him develop not only his athletic skills but also important life values such as respect, discipline, focus, self-control, and confidence. Coach Travis, along with Tom, Ryan, and the entire coaching staff, are highly professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely care about each student’s growth. The training is well-structured, organized, and delivered in a positive and supportive environment. Over the years, I have seen tremendous growth in my son both on and off the mats, and I am grateful for the impact Radius Martial Arts has had on his development. If you are considering martial arts training for yourself or your child, or if you are looking for a new academy, I highly recommend Radius Martial Arts. You will find excellent instruction, a welcoming community, and a place that truly invests in its students’ success.

I started training at Radius almost a year ago. I tried a few different places for Muay Thai but wasn't happy with my options. Then I found Radius. I was immediately impressed with the professionalism, the quality of instruction, and the sense of community. I started training BJJ and have been addicted since. Radius is such a welcoming place and it's one of the best workouts I've ever had. Plus it's a ton of fun. Come train!
Christopher Roberts
Trained Muay Thai here for a couple of months, Tom and Travis are excellent coaches and really pay attention to the detail of the movements. I’ve fought about 5 times in amateur and this is a great place to learn and grow your Muay Thai career, but also if you just want to just learn Muay Thai this is a great gym for learning the basics, many thanks for all the lessons, I definitely will be back!

Radius is a great martial arts school. Their instructors are top notch and very passionate about teaching. The members/students are friendly and humble on the mats. New students are always welcomed by the "veterans." Lastly, the owners are awesome people who are very reasonable in their business approach.

This is an excellent Martial Arts Academy. My two sons (5 and 6) learned discipline, strength and balance within a wonderfully supportive environment. The sensei's are warm and also firm, and my boys and I felt completely comfortable. I highly recommend Radius to anyone looking for martial arts training for children or adults.

I’ve know Travis for the better part of a decade now and I have to say as an academy owner myself, visiting Radius Martial Arts and experiencing Travis's vision firsthand was an honor and a privilege. Seeing someone I regularly connect with on multiple levels and witness at local competitions and events channel so much dedication into their community is truly inspiring. When I first visited Radius, from the moment I stepped in, it was clear that Travis's heart and vision have deeply influenced every aspect of their academy. The atmosphere is charged with respect, camaraderie, and a shared eagerness to grow—not just as martial artists but as individuals. This is a reflection of Travis's leadership and the positive environment he's fostered. Training at Radius, even just for one session, offered me valuable insights. The level of instruction is top-notch, with a clear focus on not only honing technique but also building character and community. It's evident that Travis and his team are committed to providing a holistic experience, which aligns with the true essence of martial arts. The facilities at Radius are exemplary, designed with the practitioner's journey in mind, but it's the intangible elements— the warmth, the welcoming nature, and the sense of belonging—that truly stand out. Travis has created more than just an academy; he's nurtured a thriving martial arts family. I left Radius that day feeling enriched and motivated, with new ideas and a renewed sense of purpose that would eventually go on to inspire elements of my own academy. It's a testament to Travis's hard work and the genuine, inclusive community he's built. I would recommend Radius Martial Arts to anyone in the area looking for a place to learn, grow, and connect. Hats off to Travis and his team for setting such a high standard for what a martial arts community can be.

I have been taking my son for 3y to both BJJ and Kickboxing. Practices are safe for the kids and they improve a lot! Couches are well prepared and the 5 stars is the least they deserve!

I had zero experience with Martial Arts before joining Radius Martial Arts Academy, and I’ll admit I was a bit nervous stepping into the gym. But from the moment I arrived, I was warmly welcomed by everyone. It felt more like joining a group of friends than meeting a bunch of strangers. The instructors were incredibly supportive and skilled at helping me get started, making each session enjoyable and rewarding. Radius is an amazing place for anyone curious about learning new skills and having a blast while doing it. Thank you, Radius, for making me feel like part of your family and for offering such a fantastic environment to grow and learn.
Matt Friedrich
First class experience at Radius from start to finish. With no background in any type of fighting walking in for my first day I was a bit nervous. I was quickly calmed by my good friend Chris who showed me around and introduced me to everyone. Kurt was amazing. Engaging me in class making eye contact and making sure I understood. Which was comforting knowing I was apart and not an outsider. All the guys including Gabby all worked with me to show me some basics with out trying to do damage to me. It was a great day a good work out and I learned a few things I’ll be back. If you’re wondering about starting just do it and make sure to come here. It’s a good vibe.

I am more than impressed with Radius. I recommend that anyone considering training in martial arts go to Radius as soon as they can, they'll regret waiting!
The instructors are incredibly friendly with a wide breadth of knowledge in martial arts. The personable instructors make the environment extremely welcoming to newcomers like myself, and this great attitude extends to the students as well.
All of the students are respectful of one another, regardless of skill level, which creates instant camaraderie in the class.
I am more than satisfied to attend classes at Radius and look forward to training there for a long time. Even as a newbie in BJJ, I feel comfortable in class and rolling with any of the instructors or students. I could not be happier with joining Radius Martial Arts!

I go to university in Scotland (although I live in Fairfield county), and was looking to get started with some Muay Thai over the summer before heading back for my next semester. I had really no prior experience in martial arts, and wasn't sure what to expect from Radius--although for context, I struggle a lot with an anxiety disorder, so motivating myself to actually step through the door and participate in whatever lay beyond was pretty difficult for me.
I could not be gladder that I made that push. Radius is a very personable, low-key, nonjudgemental environment; but at the same time the trainers there are passionate about what they do, and sincerely want you to feel safe and improve. No matter your gender identity, body type, or level of experience, both the trainers and regular attendees will go out of their way to accommodate you. If you're new to the martial arts scene and want to rest assured that the gym you join will be a good community, reasonably priced, responsible, caring, and trustworthy, Radius should be your go-to.
