Connors Mixed Martial Arts is far and away the best place to train in the New England area. I have had the pleasure of training with and knowing John Connors for 5 years. Over those 5 years I have trained in multiple gyms in different states and I can say that the atmosphere, camaraderie, and respect shown by everyone at every skill level is second to none. Add to that the fact that John's skill and teaching abilities are superb, and you have yourself a one-stop-shop for the best MMA training experience in the area. I highly recommend it to everyone I know and as often as possible. For these reasons I am proud to be a member of Connors MMA and represent our team with pride and confidence.

I trained here for a little over 2 years. Group classes and private one on one training with John. The training is exceptional. John is a very good instructor and over all a very patient knowlegable and nice guy. The people that I meet and trained with there are great . No ego's and they are all very happy to welcome and help the new students. I highly reccomend this academy. Bob Mcnally

Connors MMA is a wonderful place to get in shape and learn martial arts. John is very patient and does a great job simplifying complex martial arts. John has created a safe environment to train where his students encourage one and other and work towards getting better, regardless of their skill level. I am a police officer and John's lessons have given me greater confidence to perform my duties safely. You owe it to yourself to come down to Connors, meet John, and try a class!

There are not many things in life that I would rate 5/5, but Connors earns it without question. I've trained in a few martial arts and have gone to several gyms while living in Boston, and I never found a place as good as this. I've been training at Connors for over two years now and love how the classes are ran. The classes are well ran, safe, and really focused on technique instead of just using brute force like some places I've been. John doesn't just want his student to be able to copy a move he shows them, but also understand why it works, so they can build from it and adjust it for themselves. Even the students have a great mentality. They are all very friendly and are willing to share their knowledge and experience to help those they are training with. Not only would I recommend Connors Mixed Martial Arts, but I always do when ever I meet someone that might be interested.

My young son and I drive up from RI to train at Connors. While there are many MMA gyms in my area none give the variety that Connors does. I am new to Jiu Jitsu and I am 50. I always feel welcome and everyone is there to help out and teach me. From pro MMA fighters to others who have been training for years people are always reaching out to instruct, help you out and take your level up. Also, my son loves the kids program and enjoys the instruction from seasoned teachers. With the addition of cross fit, all the recent belts won from the athletes and experienced teachers there is a reason this gym is growing. To quote my son "It's real!"

Connors Mixed Martial Arts became like a second family to me in a short period of time because everyone I have ever trained with there has treated me with a huge amount of respect and made me feel like I belong there.
They meet the needs of every individual no matter what skill level they may be and no matter what their learning curve is and no matter what your goals may be they will help you reach them.

John is an incredible teacher/trainer, the gym is well kept, and the community is loyal and respectful to one another. I wouldn't train anywhere else

John does an amazing job. I am always learning at Connors MMA, and having fun. Great place!

John is a great teacher and the people that train there do a great job helping everyone regardless of skill level. There is something for everyone be it wrestling, muay thai, grappling, or Bjj.
