Plus One Defense Systems teaches martial arts at 9 Tolles Street, West Hartford — not in New Britain. This page is for people in New Britain, CT deciding whether that drive is worth it.
New Britain up I-84 / Route 9
From downtown New Britain or CCSU, 9 Tolles Street is about 15 minutes via I-84 or Route 9 to New Park Avenue. No New Britain location. Park at the West Hartford building.
Who this trip is for
Shift workers and students use the 6:30 AM Monday/Wednesday/Friday window. Evening Muay Thai and BJJ cover people who cannot train at noon. Kids from New Britain sit in the same juniors and youth bands as West Hartford — age-matched, not mixed with adults.
Why drive past a closer chain
A CCSU rec class and this floor are different jobs. Here you get the cage, the ring, and instructors who teach striking and grappling on the same membership. Gym, lockers, and showers are included. Book the free intro and take a real class time from the dropdown — not a callback.
