What Our Students Say

Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.

Dima D

"Our family's experience at Method Jiu-Jitsu has been nothing short of extraordinary! After switching schools, we’ve witnessed remarkable progress in both of our kids’ Jiu Jitsu skills and overall confidence. Professor Chris is not only highly skilled but also a visionary. His method is different from any other school we’ve experienced. Since joining, our kids have participated in multiple competitions and bring home medals regularly! This sense of accomplishment has boosted their self-esteem and motivated them to push their limits. We highly recommend Method to any parent looking to enhance their child’s physical abilities and character development through martial arts."

Annie Maura

"If distance doesn’t allow Method Jiu Jitsu to be your home gym, don’t make the mistake of allowing yourself to miss any opportunity to drop in. Upon entering the facility, my teammate and I were greeted promptly and warmly by owner and black belt instructor, Chris Might. This may be a no frills gym, but the bathroom is adequately stocked with hygienic items from anti-fungal wipes, mouthwash, q-tips. I had the chance to observe the Saturday morning kids class prior to the adult gi class. To say I was impressed is a complete understatement. The detail of instruction and individual attention surpassed any kids program I have seen. The kids were appropriately grouped by age, the instructor to student ratio was notable, the kids were engaged, focused, and it was evident that technique is at the forefront of Method’s curriculum. Chris is extremely knowledgeable. His intention is clear, he is firm and direct, but displays extreme flexibility in terms of one on one guidance. His approach shows his investment in each of his students and drop-ins alike. At Method Jiu Jitsu, you will learn, but prepare to work. Don’t leave your accountability at home. There are no easy rounds here. The training structure and attention to detail is next level. A few hours at Method, it’s obvious why Chris’s students are not only successful, but relentless, gritty. It was an absolute privilege. Thank you again, Chris and Nicole."

Bailey Cohen

"One of the best gyms in the northeast, especially for those interested in high level, NoGi training. Coach Chris does a phenomenal job detailing solutions to modern techniques & scenarios and Coach Nicole’s resume speaks for itself—one of the most high level female competitors in North America. This young gym has quickly become a destination for beginner & advanced players alike looking for a place to feel supported and work hard."

Kevin Ngan

"I've been training at Method since 2022, and it's been an incredible experience. The instruction and training here are top-notch, focusing on technique and growth. The head instructor, Chris, is an excellent teacher—his attention to detail and ability to break down techniques are highly effective. He is dedicated to his students and teammates, constantly evolving and refining the training to push the team. Beyond the training, the atmosphere he has cultivated is welcoming and supportive, and the team is very diligent in their training. The camaraderie and mutual respect among students make every class a great learning experience. This is a school for both beginners and experienced practitioners looking to challenge themselves and grow. My daughter also trains here, and the kids' program is fantastic. Chris is patient and encouraging and knows how to keep the kids engaged while building their skills and resilience. The structured curriculum ensures steady progress, and the supportive environment helps young students develop confidence and discipline. Whether you're looking to improve your Jiu-Jitsu, get in better shape, or find a great community, this gym is the place to be. I highly recommend it!"
