Gracie Barra Newton - Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu

"Really amazing place to train. World class instruction from Professor Alex and Professor Ashley, with a friendly and chill atmosphere that welcomes everyone. You'll find hobbyists training alongside elite competitors, and the rolls are always friendly and fun - no ego, just great training partners who help each other improve. They also have a phenomenal kids program, including a parents + kids class on Saturday mornings. I can't wait to get my 4 year old daughter on the mats this Fall. Highly recommend GB Newton!"

"I can’t say enough good things about the Gracie program as a whole—and especially the incredible team at Gracie Barra Newton and Boston. I've been a member for over 12 years, and both my children and grandchildren are now enrolled as well. In today’s culture, we often fall short in nurturing the physical, mental, and spiritual aspects essential for healthy development. This program addresses all of those areas with intention and care. Whether you're a young child or a grandparent, there’s tremendous value to be found here."

"I've been attending Gracie Barra Newton's Adult BJJ program consistently since its opening on December 7th, and my experience has been exceptional. The caliber of the professors truly stands out. Professor Alex Costa and Professor Ashley Proctor are not only incredibly skilled but also remarkably friendly and dedicated to fundamental instruction. This approach creates an environment that's welcoming and beneficial for all skill levels, from beginners to advanced practitioners. The classes foster a strong sense of community, and you'll find yourself training alongside genuinely great people. The facility itself is impeccably clean, and the curriculum is demonstrably effective. I particularly appreciate the flexibility in scheduling, with convenient 6 AM, noon, and 6 PM classes available. As a newer establishment, the classes are currently smaller, offering a fantastic opportunity for focused instruction as the gym continues to grow. Additionally, street parking is consistently easy to find. For anyone considering starting or continuing their Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu journey, I highly recommend Gracie Barra Newton."

"We took our 5 year old daughter to a trial class last weekend. She has done her share of dance, gymnastics, and sports classes to see what interested her. This was the perfect mix of everything! Fast paced to keep her interested, working with a partner and building cooperation skills, contact in a safe and controlled environment. She was smiling the entire time and can't wait to go back. Having a female instructor is also amazing, so she can see herself mirrored in this sport! Thrilled they opened in such a convenient location for us, and looking forward to watching her grow in BJJ."
