J Marie

"I just want to take a moment to show some serious love and appreciation for Kaizen—this place is so much more than a gym, it’s truly family. 💛 From the moment we walked in, we felt the energy. The love. The dedication. My kids have grown so much since starting Jiu Jitsu here—not just physically, but mentally and emotionally. That’s thanks to Professor Bruno, who is nothing short of legendary. A true world champion, yes—but even more importantly, the kids absolutely adore him. His patience, his strength, and his passion for the sport shine in every class. And it’s not just Bruno— Erick and Pedro are incredible with the kids too. They pour into every student like it’s their own child. 🙌🏽 As a mama, I joined the women’s Jiu Jitsu class and was immediately blown away by Herica—another world champ with a heart of gold. She’s not only insanely talented, but also one of the sweetest, most empowering women I’ve ever met. Being on the mat with her is an honor. And beyond Jiu Jitsu, Kaizen offers a full lineup of studio classes—barre, pound, body sculpt, and more—and every single instructor is top-tier. The workouts are killer, the energy is uplifting, and the knowledge each teacher brings is unmatched. Kaizen has earned the title of Best on the South Shore—twice in a row! And I can see why. If you’re looking for a gym where your whole family can grow, train, and be supported by an amazing community, this is it. Kaizen is the real deal. We’re beyond grateful to be part of something so special. 💪🏽❤️ #KaizenStrong #JiuJitsuFamily #SouthShoreBest #GratefulMama #TrainWithTheBest"

Kevin Cyr

"Kaizen is truly one of a kind. Amazing facility, fantastic instruction, welcoming and friendly environment , and accessible to all. The Brazilian Jiu Jitsu programs for kids and adults will be making waves in the upcoming months. I love the gym that is included in membership."

Ryan Mclean

"Becoming part of this BJJ community was the best physical and mental decision I’ve made in my adult life! I wish I started this journey much sooner but so excited about the endless learning forever. Professor Bruno and all the staff encourage hard work and fun, but the traditional respectful environment and discipline is unmatched. So thankful for them breaking us old athletes out of our comfort zones!"

Joseph Johnson

"I was in MA for work and dropped in to train. Everyone I talked with was very kind and welcoming. Erin got me set up and ready for class. The gi class with Professor Bruno was excellent. Do yourself a favor and train here."
