What Our Students Say
Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.
Orlando Severino
"I was introduced to Adas Jiu Jitsu Academy back in 2020 by Coach Block. Back then it was called Phenix BJJ Academy. Now back after military service and ankle surgery, Adas and his team welcomed me as if I never left. So, what has changed? Nothing! Adas is the most knowledgeable and professional professor I've ever met. He understands everyone's level and assures you are getting true (correct) training. Whatever your goals are, him and his staff will support you 100%."
Chris Block
"I started here 4 months ago with zero knowledge of BJJ. Next month I will be competing in my first tournament. The instruction, support and postive influence here is incredible. My 6 year old son is also a student here and training has helped him incredibly with focus, disapline and overall helping him to mature and feel confident about standing up for himself around other pushy kids. I can not say enough about Fenix BJJ Danvers. OSS!! 7 years in, still going. Still the same amazing training!! Been training here nearly 8 years now, and I received my brown belt. I've been teaching the Thursday nights, all levels, classes... this gym has become our second home and Coach Nassib our family...."
Francis Raboy
"I visited ADAS for an open mat and had a wonderful experience! Everyone at the academy was incredibly friendly and respectful. Kids, moms, and dads all shared the mat, showcasing a strong community-based gym. ADAS clearly fosters a welcoming environment passionate about BJJ as a whole. Their instructors were extremely hospitable, making everyone feel right at home. The facilities were super clean, which is always important. If you're looking to train BJJ in Peabody, I highly recommend this spot. I heard great reviews about ADAS, and they truly live up to the hype. OSS!"
Nick Albina
"I've been coming here since they opened years ago. I've enjoyed every minute of my time here. Tough training, a vast wealth of knowledge, and just great people to be around. It's like my second family. The owner Nassib is a great down to earth guy with a calm and kind teaching style. He teaches all age groups little tikes all the way to us old folk. We have people who are life long athletes, to fat guys like me working to get back into shape. Stop by for a free trial class. Training Jiujitsu is like nothing else."
