Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Dedham

"Outstanding in every relevant way. All of the practical self defense with none of the ego. I believe Rener said it best: "Just because you're learning how to fight, doesn't mean you have to fight to learn. " If you're looking for old school, self defense focused, Gracie Jiu Jitsu, look no further. David Chan excels at and embodies not only the technique but the spirit in which it is intended to be practiced according to the Gracie philosophy; practical, efficient, effective, non-aggressive, and humble. Again, all of the effectiveness, none of the ego."

"I grew up training and competing in martial arts until high school, so when my wife and I moved to Boston, I knew I wanted to find a great dojo and get back on "the path". I've been training here and at the Quincy location for about 4 months and I absolutely love it. It was obvious from my first class that this school attracts and retains great people. Derric and Dan are truly excellent instructors, with a deep knowledge of the ethos, spirit, and tactical precision of Gracie Jiu-Jitsu. The classes are always fun and enlightening, and family atmosphere makes it feel like a second home. If you're looking for a top-notch dojo to continue your journey as a student of martial arts, this is where you want to be."

"Professional instruction that is clear and welcoming to beginners while challenging for experienced learners. A great place to learn and perfect a new skill. Recommend to anyone interested in picking up Jiu Jitsu and taking it to the next level."
