Plus One Defense Systems

Plus One Defense Systems in West Hartford, Connecticut, is guided by Kyoshi Darin Reisler, a longtime martial artist and instructor with a deep commitment to both personal growth and practical self-defense. Kyoshi Reisler’s background spans multiple disciplines, and his teaching philosophy shapes every aspect of the academy—from the structure of its programs to its focus on integrity, skill, and individual attention. His vision is to make martial arts accessible and meaningful, providing a “home away from home” for students at every stage of their journey. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu forms a core part of the curriculum at Plus One, with classes for adults in both gi and no-gi formats. The schedule includes fundamentals, open mat sessions, and a dedicated women’s BJJ class, reflecting the academy’s belief that grappling skills should be available to all. Younger students are not left out; juniors and youth BJJ classes are held throughout the week, alongside age-specific programs in karate, kung fu, and Muay Thai. Whether training early in the morning or late in the evening, students find instruction that balances technical precision with practical application. The 9,000 square foot facility at Plus One offers a full array of resources, including expansive mat space, an MMA cage, a boxing ring, and a fitness center, supporting a wide range of martial arts beyond BJJ. The academy’s open-door policy welcomes visitors to drop in for classes or open mats, and the team’s commitment extends to the wider community—donating a portion of profits to local and national causes. At its heart, Plus One Defense Systems is built on the idea that martial arts training should foster confidence, defensive awareness, and lifelong personal development.
