Busy May and June here at Soulcraft!

Here is the rundown so you can mark your calendars!

05/11/2026

We'd like to add some BJJ programming on Mondays at 6:30PM now that Coach Tom has moved to California.

Coach Rony will be in Ecuador for 2 weeks, but still available for wrestling Mondays going forward... however we'd love your option on classes you'd like to attend on Mondays.

Please take a couple seconds and give us your opinion about classes on Monday Nights so we can create the best and most attended option. Simply click the link to give us your feedback. Thanks!

Note: There will be no Women's BJJ Class or Open Mat Saturday as many of our students and coaches will be at the event.


Sunday 5/3

Coach Tom, Chris P, Martina, Scott, and a few others will sadly be leaving us in the next few weeks/months as they leave New Haven for other opportunities. As always happens in this college town, we lose great friends and teammates around this time every year. To send these folks off, please join us for Open Mat at 11AM, followed by some food and drinks at the gym. Feel free to make something, or bring something to share and join us!

Note: 10AM kids class is on as scheduled.

Soulcraft Martial Arts/ Macarra BJJ Hamden and Apex Krav Maga... just a reminder that the gym will be closed for deep cleaning this Friday 3/20. We will have open mat/open gym from
6:15AM-7:30AM and then be closed for all morning and afternoon, and evening classes reopening Saturday for our normal schedule.
We appreciate your patience while we start the spring with things clean, fresh, and sanitized.

Another great cross training event here on 4/4! Don't miss it!

03/03/2026

As much as we hate to do it… with coaches and folks driving here tonight from all over the area, I’m going to be on the safe side and cancel evening classes for tonight Tuesday 3/3 due to the icy conditions forecasted.
We will see everyone back in action tomorrow at 6:15am!

02/24/2026

We are open for noon class, and all evening classes! Hope to see you!!
