What Our Students Say

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

Lauren N.

"My son and I found MBJJ after our local gym closed. It has been such a gift for us to be able to continue training. We were welcomed right in by everyone. Peter, Aaron and Mike guide their classes so that each technique is accommodating regardless of if it’s your first day or 10th year. There is such a wide range of experience among students that you’ll have endless opportunities to learn from your training partners too. It’s not unusual to see a parent who trains sit on the mat and assist a child with correct technique, or coach them through a roll on a Saturday morning. We have both been dipping our toes into no-gi recently which has been very fun to explore (Mike has the best playlist btw). I can’t speak highly enough of MBJJ, so if you’re looking to get into jiu jitsu or wanting to make a switch in training, sign the whole fam up. This is your spot!"

Tasey Lemieux

"We found MBJJ about 2 years ago and have loved it ever since. We were new to NH and had tried a couple of other places, but I knew this was the one for several reasons, closeness to home, affordability, a calm environment, and we met several homeschooling families who have become some really good friends to us. My sons have learned more about confidence and working with other people. My eldest has very much enjoyed going to tournaments. I recommend MBJJ to anyone looking for a place to learn Jujitsu!"

Yvonne Kron

"As a woman, starting jiu-jitsu has been incredibly empowering. From the moment I stepped on the mat, I knew I was embarking on a transformative journey. Jiu-jitsu has given me confidence and strength. It’s not just about self-defense; it’s about discovering my inner resilience. I'm proud to be part of this journey. Highly recommend. Extremely welcoming and friendly."

Colleen Jones

"Brought our son here while visiting home from SC so he didn’t miss too many days of training. Coach and students were extremely welcoming and had a great class and rolls! We will be back next time in NH."
