Description
🥋 What CT School of Survival Is
CT School of Survival is a martial‑arts and self‑defense school based in New Haven, Connecticut, USA. It teaches jiu‑jitsu and practical self‑defense (not wilderness survival skills) based on the combined lineage of Vee‑Jitsu, Sanuces Ryu, and Kumite Ryu styles. The focus is on real‑world self‑defense, physical conditioning, situational awareness, and martial arts techniques.
🎓 What Their Seminars Are
The seminars you see on the site (and in the store) are special training events organized by the school. One of the main types they offer is called “On the Mat” — this is a hands‑on training seminar where participants come together for intensive training with instructors. It’s not a typical gym class: instead it’s a multi‑hour session of drills, technique work, partner practice, and instruction that goes beyond regular weekly classes.
For example, for 2025 (not 2024), they list tickets for:
- On the Mat (Adult) — full access to the seminar training
- On the Mat (<18) — for youth participants
- Spectator — for people who want to observe rather than train
Seminar events like these typically run for a full day (e.g., 9 AM–4 PM) and are held at locations like the Irish‑American Community Center in East Haven, CT.
