What Our Students Say
Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.
Chris Alto
"I typically train out of CO but dropped in while I was visiting family in Rockport. Awesome academy. Very clean and the community is very welcoming. Professor Kyle is an amazing instructor as well. If you are looking to train martial arts or bjj, I'd highly recommend checking out Sakura BJJ in Gloucester"
Ben Goutal
"I just started training at Sakura a few weeks ago, and it’s been an awesome experience. Kyle is super patient and break everything down in a way that’s easy to understand, even if you’ve never done martial arts before. Everyone is friendly and helpful, and there’s no pressure — just a really encouraging vibe. I’m excited to keep learning and improving here!"
Brett Wolonsavich
"Kyle is the absolute best instructor there is. This gym has become a home for me. I wouldn’t trade it for anything. I came in with little to no experience. Kyle has been nothing but a blessing. 10/10."
Adam Richardson
"Very welcoming place with instructors who are knowledgeable and care about teaching you. It can also be a great workout. I would absolutely recommend coming in for some classes."
