"Great team atmosphere here with Alexey Cruz. I dropped in last year for some BJJ, while on business, and everyone was very welcoming."
Michele Pickerell
"Jiujitsu Summer vacation in Maine. Thanks Team 1! When my son was young, Summer vacations were in Maine with the family. I was looking for activities for my middle school son and I came across jiujitsu martial art. I enrolled my son to Team 1 BJJ classes. At first, my son was a little shy and very uncoordinated, but the teachers and other students made him feel very comfortable. As he learned the moves, not only my son's coordination improved, but I also noticed that his concentration and confidence improved. The coaches are very patient and the team made us feel like a family. Training offered at Team 1 was safe and taught my son more than just a martial art. My son did not become a jiujitsu "martial artist" but I believe that those lessons learned from jiujitsu skills and Team 1 BJJ, helped my son with many skills. We will never forget Summers rolling on the tatami with Team 1 BJJ."

"I’m sure this is a great gym, I had a bad experience. First of all, It is on floor 3 not floor 1. Secondly, Check Instagram for class cancellation before coming, I drove a long way and didn’t get to train. @alexeypickerellbjj"
