Daniel Gracie Academy Northborough

“What an amazing 7-8 years has been training under Frankie Passos at Daniel Gracie Academy in Northborough. Today I look back when I first started training and realize how much my life has changed for the better. Jiu Jitsu teaches you so many valuable lessons that will follow you throughout your whole life. It teaches Loyalty, Courage, Patience, Resilience, Determination, Discipline, Humility and so many other things. With a family atmosphere and camaraderie that we have it would be a pleasure to have YOU as a training partner and friend, come on down!OSS!”

“My kids have been going to the Daniel Gracie Academy Northborough for about the last two years. When so much time is spent on devices and sitting, it’s so important for kids to move their bodies in new and dynamic ways. Each class starts with starts with full body stretching and warm up exercises that get their heart rate up. If the group is learning a new move there is a quick demo and then the class is paired off while Frankie and his instructors guide them through the lesson. Usually then they practice grappling in the latter part of the class. Professor Frankie and his team have a way to speak to the kids that is both firm but light hearted. Kids are invited to participate in tournaments and there is plenty of opportunity to do so but it’s not required. They recently had an in-house tournament and it was a great! My kids aren’t really interested in competing and are happy to just train and that’s completely fine too. I hardly ever write reviews but I highly highly recommend the Daniel Gracie Academy Northborough.”

“My daughter absolutely loves training here! My wife and I were both skeptical whether our 7 year old daughter would enjoy BJJ, but from the first day we were so happy to see how much she enjoys it. It is a wonderful community of children and parents, and professor Frankie is nothing short of fantastic with the kids. My daughter is all smiles the whole time. As soon as we can, we’re going to be sending our son here too! Highly recommend!”

“I have been training here for over 4 years now and I couldn’t imagine myself somewhere else. The academy has an extremely close community and sense of family. They are very open to new people that join and the people I have met here will be my friends for life. Along with this I am able to get in all the training that I want since there are multiple classes each day, and I have the ability to train as hard or as light as I would like. The coaches at DGA of Northborough are extremely knowledgeable and know how to teach well. They are also always willing to help me and my teammates with what ever we need to get better.”

“Awesome place to train BJJ for all ages. Ive been a student here for a little over a year now and could not be happier. My brother and son are also students here. Professor Frankie and his team of coaches are true professionals and they make sure to create a safe and enjoyable environment for all.”
