Soulcraft Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Woodbury

Soulcraft Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Woodbury operates under the guidance of Brad Wolfson, a black belt instructor whose lineage traces back through Marcio Stambowsky to the legendary Rolls Gracie. The academy is part of the larger Soulcraft Martial Arts family, which has deep roots in the New Haven and Hamden areas of Connecticut. Wolfson’s journey began in 1998, inspired by the early UFC days and a passion for the “gentle art,” and he now leads the Woodbury location with a focus on safe, patient instruction that supports long-term development. Training at Soulcraft Woodbury includes structured Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu classes for both adults and youth, alongside complementary disciplines such as Muay Thai and Krav Maga. The curriculum emphasizes foundational techniques as well as gradual progression, with a particular focus on creating a respectful, ego-free environment. Classes are designed to accommodate a range of goals, from fitness and self-defense to competition preparation, while also offering strength and conditioning workouts to enhance overall physical performance. The academy’s facility at 125 Main St N is wheelchair accessible and encourages visitors to drop in during regular hours to experience the training firsthand. Soulcraft’s approach centers on personal growth through martial arts, with an emphasis on patience, community, and mutual respect. This philosophy extends across all age groups and skill levels, making it a place where students can steadily build confidence and resilience on and off the mats.
