Plus One Defense Systems teaches martial arts at 9 Tolles Street, West Hartford — not in Bloomfield. This page is for people in Bloomfield, CT deciding whether that drive is worth it.
Bloomfield south to Tolles
From Bloomfield Center, plan on about 15–20 minutes south on Route 189 / 187 into West Hartford, then across to New Park and Tolles. North-end West Hartford families sometimes think this is “too far south.” It is still one town over, one building.
Who this trip is for
Bloomfield households often want one membership for a kid and a parent. That is how this school is built: juniors/youth in the afternoon, adult BJJ, MMA, karate, and kickboxing later the same night. You do not buy a second program to train as a family.
Why drive past a closer chain
We are not a Bloomfield rec department class. The public proof is the named youth black belts and the cage on the floor. If you want karate-only two days a week, you can still do that here — the schedule also lets that same kid add BJJ on Friday without a new contract.
