Krav Maga Personal Safety, led by Gus Bottazzi, a 2nd Degree Black Belt with 35 years of experience in martial arts, has been providing reality-based self-defense instruction for 25 years.

With the addition of Cruvinel Brothers Jiu-Jitsu, students will now have the opportunity to explore both standing and ground-based self-defense techniques in a single location.
Cruvinel Brothers Jiu-Jitsu, under the leadership of Professor Steven Luciano, brings a strong presence to Norwalk with its family-focused environment and competitive grappling pedigree. The academy offers daytime homeschool programming, women's self-defense classes, and a structured youth curriculum. The new Norwalk location is poised to become a flagship academy, serving families, professionals, and students seeking world-class BJJ in a modern, supportive environment.
The combined program will offer a full range of classes, including Little Champions/youth/teen programs, adult Gi and No-Gi BJJ, Krav Maga, Kali stick and knife work, and specialized defensive courses. These classes will be available seven days a week, with private instruction available by appointment. Prospective students are invited to visit, observe a class, or start a trial at 295 Westport Avenue, 2nd Floor, Norwalk, CT.
"This partnership is a natural fit," said Bottazzi.
The combined program will provide a diverse and comprehensive curriculum, catering to individuals of all ages and skill levels.
