What Our Students Say
Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.
Jeffrey Yu
"This is the finest BJJ gym you can find in this area. I say this both as an adult and as a parent. Classes are offered and multiple skill levels and times during the week. The cohort is friendly but competitive. The professors, specifically Gabriel and Enzo are true gems. They care about you as people, they’re fierce competitors, and patient teachers. Oos!"
Daniel Goodwin
"Love this gym. I've lived in SF, NY and now Boston for 10 years, and have trained at many places. This is, by far, my favorite mix of training hard, warm community and family friendly. There's a training partners for every level here."
Chris Gassen
"Very supportive and positive environment. I started from no BJJ experience, and the professors have been really hands on and accessible, including Hugo from the start. They make you feel welcome as a complete beginner and encourage asking questions. They’ve created a culture of collaboration where the focus is on helping everyone get better. Can’t recommend them enough."
Brian Heaton
"I have been training for a year and a half and try to visit gyms when I travel. This is by far the best jiu jitsu gyms I’ve been to. The coaching is organized, the coaches are advanced and extremely helpful, the classes are prompt and organized, and the gym is spotless. The coaches sanitize the mats after every class along with sweeping and vacuuming. The members are all great people also, this place breeds a respectful atmosphere."
