I've been with this crew for a very long time, over 10 years collectively. Just ask Travis about the first time he met me. God, I LOVE that story. And ask Steve about our old MMA days and ground and pound drills.This is a great school to come and train. Whether your looking to compete or just want to get in shape. I can guarantee you'll go home a few pounds lighter than you came. There is a broad range of skill here so they cater to all levels. Yes, it can be very intimidating walking into a martial arts academy where they do live sparring and rolling but it is a very friendly atmosphere and the students respect everyone's skill level. No bullies here! And over time it really does feel like a family. I compete for this academy and I couldn't imagine being as successful as I am today without the instruction and guidance provided at Radius Martial Arts / 10th Planet Fairfield.(undefeated so far ).

Recommended for anyone who is interested in starting but might be hesitant.The instructors are talented and accommodating, even for a newcomer like myself. They have been very helpful in simplifying the moves and answering any of my questions.The fellow students are also friendly. No one is a bully, not even the more advanced students. Overall a great place to learn BJJ if new and interested in the sport. More...

I started training Jiu Jitsu at Radius about a month and a half ago. I am enjoying each class more than the last and am always looking forward to the next. I was extremely impressed when I requested more information and Travis, the owner, called me within minutes. He asked what questions I might have and offered me a free class. Travis, Steve, Kurt, and the entire Radius squad continue to impress me each day with the quality of instruction, the warm and welcoming atmosphere, and the integrity of their training. Would recommend to anyone! More...

Radius Martial Arts has rapidly become a second home for me during this past year of training. Stepping into those doors for the first time can be incredibly intimidating, especially if you don't have any martial arts background. If you are having those feelings, you can confidently push them aside. The instructors are equal parts welcoming, knowledgeable, and entertaining. Your fellow students will help you learn if you are just getting started or push you past your limits if you have experience. BJJ is a tremendous way to explore a vastly complex martial art, increase your fitness level, and meet interesting people. Radius Martial Arts is the second academy I've trained BJJ at. I see no reason to look for a third. More...

I was looking for a place to drop into while visiting Fairfield and I have been so thrilled that I found Radius, it is a place I will definitely incorporate into my plans whenever I am in town from now on. Radius is a trifecta; the instructors are very knowledgeable, the students are respectful of each other and the facility is clearly well cared for. This is the rare kind of place where you can have an equally positive experience as a total beginner or as a more seasoned practitioner interested in going to the next level.  I would describe it as everything you need and nothing you don't. It is also immaculate by fight gym standards. If I lived locally I would 100% become a monthly student. More...

DON’T LISTEN TO BARTEK’S REVIEW. I was the female that he refused to ‘spar’ with, but in actuality it wasn’t even sparring. It was a ONE MINUTE WARM-UP ROUND of body boxing, meant only to get the blood flowing and muscles warm. And he didn’t just refuse to go a round with me, he down right ordered me to go pair with the only other female in the class (with whom I’d already gone a round because- duh- obvious choice) so that he could have a ‘real’ partner and someone he could ‘really hit’. Aggression issues much? Bartek later tried to apologize to me, but his apology was something to the effect of “Sorry, but it’s just a waste of my time if I partner with a girl”. DUDE. People do warm-up rounds with THE AIR. It’s called SHADOW BOXING. And you can’t go a one minute round with a woman?!? LAAAME. Major credit due to Travis, the owner of Radius, who reached out to me by phone a day later to apologize on Bartek’s behalf. He assured me Bartek’s attitude is not one they would ever support and told me he would speak with Bartek about his conduct, which he did. Everyone at Radius- including but certainly not limited to über-talented Muay Thai instructors Tom, Josh and Travis- has been so amazing to me since I walked in there off the street 3 months ago, a small-framed, 40-ish mom of 3 who hadn’t exercised but once or twice in an entire decade and couldn’t do a single sit-up. Despite all of this, I’ve never felt judged by anyone there and each instructor has consistently taken their time to give newbies like me the attention required to get going in this sport. Even the biggest, ‘scariest’ dudes in there have always been kind, respectful and willing to do a round with me because the atmosphere there is one of team-building. As evidenced quite clearly in the case of Bartek, those for whom respect and sportsmanship are a challenge find their own way to the door sooner or later. See-ya! I’ll be at Radius training to be the best 40-year-old-mom-of-3 Muay Thai ‘fighter’ I can be. Where will you be? More...

I have been training at Radius for a few weeks now, and it has been nothing short of an amazing experience. I had made arrangements to stop in and talk with Travis, the owner, about the details of the available classes and membership, my main interest being Jiu Jitsu. He was very accommodating and offered me a free trial class. At 38 years old and married with two kids, I was looking for something that would be challenging and rewarding on a personal level. Something that could revitalize my self discipline and carry over into my parenting, my home life, and even my work life.The instructors here are truly remarkable. Their natural ability to teach, coupled with a depth of detail and attentiveness, make each class feel beneficial and engaging. It is clear the tactics of these teachings have had a positive effect on the group of men and women who train there, as I have felt a great deal of patience and welcoming from everyone I have met. There is also plenty of talent on the mats to challenge the more experienced individual who may be looking for a new place to train. After only a short time at Radius, I know this is just where I want to be. More...

Radius is truly a special place to be apart of. Every instructor here is a wealth of knowledge who cares about the growth/safety of their students. They practice what they preach and are on the mats training as well. That sets an example for all of us: hard work, mutual growth, and leaving ones ego at the door. The students, who have in many ways become my extended family, are kind and hard working. Travis the owner/Instructor is very professional and an all around great dude. Im honored to be part of this Academy and humbled to be training with such talented, kind-spirited warriors. Those of you out there looking to become the best version of yourself, come here. You won't regret it.-Tony More...

I wanted to return to jiu-jitsu after an 8 year lay off and had no clue where to train. I looked up radius and left an email to inquire. Travis(owner) shot me a text and welcomed me to come whenever and try a free class. I went in March and it was awesome. Everyone welcomed me and were very respectful to the fact I hadn’t rolled in some time. After the class I told Travis I probably couldn’t sign up until the summer bc we were in the middle of moving. He was super cool and said come whenever, no rush. I ended up signing up fully in August for jiu-jitsu and Muay Thai and couldn’t be happier. The instructors are very knowledgeable(all jiu-jitsu classes are taught by at least one if not two blackbelts!!) and the Thai class has two incredible, detail oriented, guys coaching as well. I loved the school so much I signed my son up and he feel in love and goes 4x a week!! If you’re thinking about trying it out, come by and enjoy!! Ps. If you’ve been doing jiu jitsu a while come in because the class is so diverse in belt rankings making it an awesome place to learn! No egos just good rolls! More...

Something here for the whole family, but the kids classes are one of the best deals in Fairfield. No expensive monthly belt promotions, just knowledgeable and friendly teachers creating a fun environment. My daughter loves the karate/Jiu-Jitsu classes. She’s learning self defense and gaining confidence. The newest addition is the kids Muay Thai class, which my son started taking. Tom is such a positive, energetic teacher and I doubt you could find anyone more knowledgeable about the history and practice of Muay Thai. If you’re looking for a martial arts program for kids, this is the place, but don’t let the kids have all the fun. My husband started taking the adult Jiu-Jitsu classes a year ago, and about 4 months in I decided to give Radius a try. I’ve always exercised in some form, but I had put on weight after having kids that never seemed to go away. I was in an exercise rut. I started with the conditioning classes. Short cardio classes, with different exercises every week. It was easy to fit into my schedule. A few months after that I tried a Jiu-Jitsu class and I was hooked. I never thought I would be in great shape again, never thought I would love exercise, but here I am. I’ve lost a lot of weight, gained a lot of muscle, which is all great, but I’m also really having fun and learning a lot. More...

I began my BJJ journey 6 months ago from today. Despite having no prior MMA or wrestling experience, the instructors at this gym have shaped me into a warrior. Every class is a new experience. It begins with a technical session that leads you through a set of small moves to create one large strategy, with every step broken into digestible bites. Classes aren’t too big and you’ll constantly receive the one on one attention you need to succeed. Your fellow classmates are pretty chill and easy going but provide the knowledge and strength to push you past your limits. Whether you’re looking for a fun environment to lose weight, trying a new hobby or you’re trying to seriously compete, you’ll find all those things and more at this gym.The Muy Thai classes are pretty awesome too.

I've been training at Radius for about 5 months.. In those 5 months I've become a far more honest, confident and happy person. . I've lived out a dream of competing in a jiu jitsu tournament and I really can't thank all the people I meet here enough, they push me to places I can't push myself on my own and they help me grow into a person I couldn't be without them..
Radius martial arts is one of the greatest additions to my life and I recommend this gym to everyone, from those who just want to learn some self defense while getting a awesome workout, to those who have a deeper passion for martial arts with desires of competing or just growing their overall martial arts game.. Even if you're not into martial arts or too big on working out, try to make it to a free trial class by yourself or with some friends, martial arts classes really are a much more thrilling and fun experience than most would think from Muay Thai kickboxing to gi and no-go jiu jitsu grappling.. Each class is filled with unlimited amounts of knowledge n lessons to learn and carry forward with you to the next class as you grow and if you're anything like me than you might just fall in love and use martial arts as a tool to a better life �

After an ACL reconstruction and meniscus repair I was searching for something to replace lacrosse in my life. I was 40 years old and getting fatter and crankier. I had been hearing about BJJ for years and it always peaked my interest. I finally went to try out a class in December of 2017 and was immediately hooked.In about 6 months I am in far better physical and mental condition. I had no background in wrestling or Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ), heck I was never a very aggressive or physically assertive guy despite decades of playing lacrosse. BJJ has helped me tap into another part of myself. The confident part, the aggressive part, the athlete I once was. It filled the void of post game socialization with my lax buddies. I saw the difference this pursuit made... as did my wife... kids... and bosses at work. This is so much more than martial arts or self defense. BJJ will help you tap into unexplored parts of you!Travis, Steve and Kurt, our instructors, are all awesome individuals and have earned their black belts. Their teaching and BJJ styles are all unique but blend well together when they are running class. They will all take the time roll (wrestle, grapple, whatever you want to call it) with you and give pointers and help you along.The "team" or members of this school are equally as amazing. Supportive, respectful, talented at their craft and funny. I may have stepped away from the team sport I grew up playing, but I have found a pursuit in BJJ that will be will me as long as my body can handle it. 41 and no interest in slowing down anytime soon! Get here, train and grow! More...
