"Pearson BJJ is hands down the best place to train in Northfield. The instruction is top-tier—Alex breaks down techniques clearly and adapts to all skill levels. The atmosphere is welcoming, ego-free, and supportive, with a strong sense of community that makes every class enjoyable. Clean mats, respectful training partners, and a great mix of gi and nogi classes. Whether you're new to BJJ or a seasoned grappler, this gym delivers. Highly recommended!"
