CT Combat Training Center — Local services in Watertown

CT Combat Training stands out as one of the most well-rounded and welcoming gyms I’ve experienced. The environment is truly inclusive—perfect for kids, teens, and adults alike. Whether you're a complete beginner or an experienced fighter, you'll feel right at home.

What impressed me most was the professionalism of the coaching staff. They are completely non-biased and give equal attention to every student—no favorites, no cliques. The structure of each class is clear and effective: we learn a technique, drill it, and then put it into practice through controlled sparring before the session ends. It’s a powerful way to lock in what you've just learned.

The community itself is humble, respectful, and ego-free. No one walks around with a chip on their shoulder or tries to prove something at others’ expense. Sparring here feels safe and collaborative. For instance, I once forgot my mouthguard and asked my partner to avoid head contact—they immediately respected my boundary. That level of mutual respect is rare and refreshing.

The coaches are always actively engaged, watching and correcting technique, making sure everyone improves. As long as you're focused and open to learning, you're guaranteed to walk away having grown—either by learning something new or sharpening your current skills.

Another huge plus is their free one-week trial. It gives you plenty of time to get a feel for the atmosphere, coaching, and community before committing. If you're looking for a place to train with structure, professionalism, and zero ego, I highly recommend giving CT Combat...

Great gym and great teachers. All the staff and students are friendly and you feel like family immediately. My daughter takes the kids BJJ class and she loves it. I myself have trained and shopped around at multiple gyms from MMA to BJJ and I've never felt more at home than at CT combat. I just have to add that the teachers for the kids class are great with kids. Helping not only with self defense but the kids are learning real life characteristics to bring home and to school like teamwork, respect and responsibility. Not only that the kids are having a lot of fun. Check this gym out and you won't be...
