Darkside Jiu-Jitsu LLC

“Very friendly and welcoming atmosphere. Shane teaches great techniques. All the students were friendly as well. Didn't see a single mat spaz. I'd be more than willing to suggest this place for children or adults.to go learn some great self defense skills.”

“Darkside is the best gym to train in Massachusetts. They have every type of class you want and Shane is a martial arts genius. It is a great environment, everyone is nice and welcome. People are always looking to help with techniques and with new people. I could not recommend Darkside enough.”

“Shane runs a fantastic gym. He connects well with younger members, and his older audience appreciates his extensive knowledge of mixed martial arts. The atmosphere is supportive and never overly aggressive. I’ve been a member for over two years now, and I highly recommend this gym to anyone looking for a great place to train.”

“If you’re looking to learn self-defense, train different kinds of martial arts, or just simply get in shape, this is the place for you. When I first joined about a year and a half ago, I knew nothing about self-defense. Shane (the owner) welcomed me and made the first experience enjoyable. But more importantly, he and his amazing staff broke things down and made it easy for me to pick up and continue to push forward. Since then, I’ve learned to strike and grapple. Shane is an incredible coach—knowledgeable, experienced, and very friendly. What I appreciated the most is that he has created a very supportive and safe environment for his students to learn, improve, and reach their individual goals. Five stars all around!”

“Everyone at the gym is super helpful and knowledgeable. Go at your own pace philosophy. Very community orientated. Shane the owner, showed me how to get out of headlocks after he noticed it was something I was really struggling with. The dude is amazing! Nothing but good things to say about this place.”
