Broadway Jiu-Jitsu and Fitness: what do users think?
戴学进: Came by to train judo during a visit to Boston. The coaches were great, and I had a good training experience overall as someone who has had bjj and judo experience. There were a lot of good randori rounds, and I did not feel like punches were pulled for newcomers/visitors. However, I would say that it is not the most beginner-friendly setting, as the mats are rather hard and the class format is very loose, with more emphasis on individuals working their own techniques independently.
Marlon: Great instructors and classmates
Ben Smrtic: Very nice place filled with friendly people
Brandon Ceperley: Great high level facility, great environment
Moaz Mahmood: The guys are mad chill and welcoming. Dima took answered all my questions over phone and helped me have a smooth experience in class. Afterwards, since I was a visiting blue belt , he even went with me to the nearest subway station and swiped his metro card to let me in. The class itself was also great, got smashed by the white belts there - super technical guys. 10/10 would recommend
John Abney: I was looking for a gym to train at in Boston for a few days, and was immediately welcomed here. Great, friendly group of instructors and students, and great competition. All around a fantastic experience.
Shane Melisi: Coming from another gym to train BJJ here. Gym is very professional and attentive to each student. Would highly recommend this gym to anyone in the Boston area!
Brian Saunders: I drop in here whenever I'm in town for work. They're always extremely welcoming, and the jiu jitsu is high level. Go get some!
Luiz Brasil: Me mudei para Boston tem um ano e pouco meses... entrei para academia da Broawday no secundo mês de residência aqui. Gostei muito da estrutura e do atendimento, mesmo não sabendo falar muito inglês foram super legais e usaram alguns alunos que falam português haha. Estou a um ano treinando, os professores são muito bons, bem técnicos, me sinto bem treinando lá. Esperando a graduação OSS!
Cem Gultekin: I was in town for the weekend and Broadway BJJ was super accommodating for an out-of-towner to get a class in. Level education and support is top notch and staff is extremely helpful/flexible. If you’re looking for a serious BJJ gym in Boston this it it.
Malakhai Pearson: 10/10, this place is super solid. The training sessions are competitive, JC and the other profs are incredibly knowledgable. If you are looking to learn self defense or, improve your BJJ, then I would highly recommend this place.
Devon Thormodsgaard: Dropped in for some rolls and felt lucky to find this Dojo. I’m an old white belt & they were very welcoming to me. Luckily Thursday was open mat and they had about 60 folks getting after it. Mats we’re clean and everyone I trained with and spoke to was extremely respectful. Can’t wait to come back and recommend to all.
Gabriel Cuchacovich: Great coaches, very approachable and friendly
Ron Tassoni: Instructors were super knowledgeable and professional. Talent pool was deep so there was plenty of competition at every level. Dima at the front desk was really helpful when I went there for the first time.
Benjamin Skeer: Horrible coach/owner, before class, high pressure sales to switch membership from free trial before the class. During the class, I broke the bone broke in my knee. As I was hopping on one foot, towards the door to leave, the coach (Demetri, Russian Guy) blocked my way, and said "hurry up, the cleaners are coming" and told me to put my shoe on my bad foot. I told him I was okay, this continued for 3 minutes standing on one leg, I finally got past him, and as I was hobbling up the stairs he called after me and continued to try to sell to me.The other critical reviews about unprofessionalism, and rudeness is spot on. The owner responds to these online comments with fake niceness. All he cares about is selling you a membership.
Faris Katkhuda: Stopped by the Saturday All-level judo class. They separated the class by experience level, which was great for a beginner like me. The instructors were very welcoming, patient, and found a way to give everyone some personal attention. Would highly recommend!
Sam Guinan-Nyhart: Dropped in for a training session while I was in town, excellent all around and very welcoming!
Liam Donovan: Welcoming gym that gets right to teaching. They were flexible and understanding when I had to cancel my membership.
Brandon Knowlden: I was in Boston for work and dropped in for a morning session. They welcomed me with open arms and as a purple belt, it was a challenging class as the team really knows their stuff. Great instruction, no egos and a spotless facility. Highly recommend!
Aaron Eicoff: Big martial arts gym. Many nice people. Athletic training environment.
Daniel Medalie: I am a BJJ black belt from Cleveland, Ohio and was visiting Boston for a conference. I dropped in to roll and couldn't be more happy. The whole gym was welcoming. They lent me a gi and introduced me to the whole class. We had some great instruction and rolling and the level of Bjj I experienced was top notch. I highly recommend this gym and will definitely add it to my must visit list the next time I am in Boston!

Griffin Kim: Super welcoming and inclusive gym; it doesn't matter what size you are there or how much experience you have. There is a place for everyone here :) The coaching is very clear and straightforward, I have felt great improvement and they make me feel like they really care about my progress. Check out the Wednesday MT class if you want a killer HIIT workout while working on technique !
My Seppo: Nothing but amazing things to say. Looking to grow as a martial artist or as a person? Come here. Citadel is a star among MA gyms. It’s inclusive, welcoming and competitive. Couldn’t ask for more! I highly recommend this gym to newbies and seasoned pros alike.
LAIMONDO LEE: Easily the most delicious training experience of my martial arts career. And I’ve been everywhere.
Deven Hurt: Positive:Communication,Professionalism,Quality
Gabe Arnold: Definitely recommended. Came up from Philly, visiting Boston for a couple days. Decided to stop in at the noon BJJ class/open mat to stay sharp for an upcoming tournament. Everyone was very welcoming, instruction was clear and atmosphere was relaxed but still on point. A true no BS gym dedicated to fighting, can't go wrong.
Mike Brown: Good atmosphere. Great trainig
Lucas Kinney: Was visiting from California over the holidays and stopped by Citadel. Highly recommend checking them out. The instructions during the technique portion were clear and precise. Learned a couple nuances for more effectively escaping side control. Exceptionally friendly people from instructors to students. Moral of the story: go see what's happening with them. 10/10
Daniel Zuzevich: Best gym around whether you want to compete in MMA, Muay Thai, and Jiu Jitsu, or learn self defense/get in shape.
Trevor Gudde: Best little gym in Boston, with the highest level of coaches and fighters available

UFC GYM Boston Financial District: what do users think?
Philip Low: Good gym.
John S.p: It looks pretty good but I can't give a final verdict until I go in
Erick R: Great gym, great coaches, and good people.Great gym to start out, and great gym if you eventually want to start competing.
Abdullah A: قضيت بعض الوقت في بوسطن بعد زيارتهم عرضوا علي يوم مجاني وبعدها اشتركت معهم. وبالفعل المدربين والطاقم رائعين، كلاسات الفنون القتالية كانت ممتعة وايضا أعضاء النادي كانوا متعاونين ويساعدون الأقل خبرة
Carita: I always thought I’d have no business going to a UFC gym since I’m not a fighter. This place proved me wrong. The owner and the coaches are incredible and the people here feel like family. The vibe is welcoming and encouraging. You don’t have to be a fighter to come here. The HIIT classes are a fit for any age or fitness level- you can go at your own pace, the coaches are GREAT at adjusting the workouts to fit your needs. I had no experience in combat sports yet this place made me fall in love with kickboxing as my cardio. This is your sign to give this place a try. I promise you’re going to come back after your first time.
jeffrey strohmaier: Great Gym! Excellent Staff! Thanks to Jason and Vincent - Outstanding Instructors!
Alex Burton: Great coaches and a clean facility.
Kelsey Dunton: I love this place! I try to go everyday.
J: This place, the owners and employees are great. Highly recommended.
Duan Lian (Ethan): This is an impeccable gym,Coach is friendly and professional.I love here😁
Jared Schultz: I had been going here for over a year for BJJ and leaving because I’m moving away. I have been very happy with the facility, the instructors, and the other people who train.The gym provides a great training atmosphere with a lot of variety of fitness equipment. Daniel/Eric/Josh are awesome BJJ instructors - their very knowledgeable and patient/friendly with newbies like myself who are slow to follow (or have no idea what’s going on). They make it a great environment - and I also appreciate the camaraderie of others who grapple there. Also - Jason has also been welcoming and solid in helping when I had to adjust billing freeze when I’m out of town or couldn’t roll during weird time of COVID with my work. I highly recommend the UFC gym to individuals who are contemplating joining to just do it. The rates for unlimited access are extremely competitive. I would have never left if I wasn’t moving.
Amber Bennoui: I’ve been a member of UFC Gym for years, attending Brazilian jiu jitsu classes and personal training. This is a world class facility with trainers that go above and beyond to ensure you hit your fitness goals. Josh Parker is a patient trainer and well versed in martial arts, personal training plans and preventing injury. Jason is great too — making sure to communicate class schedules, coordinate events and is super knowledgeable in all things fitness and martial arts related. Look forward to continuing my journey here for many years to come!
Andres Avila: Hi! The first few months at the gym were great. Everyone was great and coaches were very professional. I signed up along with a couple of friends and we had a great time. Due to reasons beyond my control, I had to cancel my subscription a couple of months ago. After doing this, I was charged. I emailed the gym 2 times and texted Jason Dunton personally for a refund and he was very unresponsive. It’s terrible that Jason Dunton ruins the image for the UFC Gym brand… Very rude and unhelpful the way he handled the situation
Edward Ortiz: I love this gym. Coaches and trainers are extremely helpful and Jason the manager is very friendly and knowledgeable. I would definitely recommend this place for those who are trying to keep reaching that extra mile and make good friends on the way.
miguel filipe Coelho: Quality service is an understatement with these guys, they don’t just tell you how to do it, they spend the time and show you how. The staff all the way up to the owner Jason Dunton are incredible and they really care about the gyms cleanliness and members. This is the best gym in Boston! Highly recommend !
Adonis Services: new equipment nice atmosphere
Olivia Thorn: super friendly atmosphere, coaches are skilled and push you to have a great workout.
Luis Hinostroza: Critical:Communication,Professionalism,Quality
Tony Wang: Positive:Communication,Professionalism,QualityBest gym I've ever been to. Coaches are super friendly and nice. Classes are great and fun. Top notch equipment and cleanliness.
Daniel Johnston: Been here 2 years, not going anywhere.

Combat Sports Boston: what do users think?
Danny DiGiacomo: Best martial arts gym I’ve ever been a part of. Excellent facilities, equipment, classes, and atmosphere; the best part of this gym, however, is the coaching staff. Their experience & knowledge combined with their attentiveness to the students is what makes this gym special.
Iain Kehoe: Started here Dec 2022. I'm glad I did. If you want to train muay thai or bjj in Boston this is the place to go.
Brian Cutts: Got to come by to drop off flyers for American Grappling Federation, while I was in the gym CSU’s staff made me feel at home and helped me answer any questions about their programs.
Noah Lucia: Coming from a traditional martial arts background, I was excited to hear Wu Tang blasting when I showed up!!! I came in for a trial session, a sparring night. Great mix of levels. Great muy thai teacher. Great vibe.
Ralph Spetalnick: Great gym, friendly atmosphere, lots of classes
Zach Marcoulier: Friendly and inclusive gym with great instructors. Great for all ages and skill levels.
Andrew Seid: If you want to start training jiu jitsu in a fun atmosphere this is your gym. You get out what you put in so whether you’re trying to build muscle, burn fat, or be the next polarizing black belt this is where you make that happen.
Fabio Lima: Best community I've ever been part of. Friendly helpful amazing people. I've been part of this gym for about 6 years and no other gym can compare.
Cris Schayer: I came into this gym November 2018 and it's become a second home. I've never met such patient, motivating, and passionate coaches.A little background about me: I came from another gym I wont mention, where the atmosphere was very toxic and unwelcoming towards female. The type of mentality that unless you were doing cardio, get out of the way of the weight lifting gym bros.Coming from this background, I was super nervous to go to a new gym, especially one that focused on Combat. My very first visit, Mat, one of the Muay Thai instructors was very welcoming and extremely patient. I've been hooked ever since, and now take both the Muay Thai and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu classes. As a female, the instructors' number one priority is to make us feel welcomed and anything otherwise is never tolerated.Not only are the instructors amazing, but the members here are also awesome! They've become family to me. No male has ever made me uncomfortable in Muay Thai or Jiu Jitsu.Monday's Evening Women's Muay Thai class with Kru James is such an awesome, welcoming group, that really pushes me physically. I NEVER want to miss a class! Tuesdays 6:00-7:00 Muay Thai Fundamental class is great refresher of the basics and its always exciting to see new people attend.A new awesome addition is Sunday's Women Open Mat. As a female new to jiu jitsu, this has been an awesome class that pushes me and gets me more and more comfortable rolling around with other sweaty people. Another bonus is meeting some amazing, savage women that train from other gyms. Sunday and Mondays have become my women's gathering.The gym also offers a wide arrange of weight training equipment, cardio machines and classes are offered in the morning, afternoon and evenings, to fit every schedule.To put it simply: I LOVE THIS PLACE
JERRY REVICH: Fantastic gym, training, and workout. Highly recommended for all levels. Thanks guys
Miguel Angel Bello: This gym is out of the standards(BJJ, MMA, Muay Thai). Excellent professors and students as well. Everybody here do their best to help each other. Try it once and I am pretty sure you will stay!!
Omar Qusrawi: Absolutely the best gym in Boston. You will be coming to the right place no matter what kind of training you are aiming for, be it competitive or just casual. Two years later, I have followed the competitors path and have been nurtured. The coaching staff is absolutely fantastic you will get world class training here, they pick up on your flaws promptly, and they make you feel welcome and at home very quickly. They are all extremely qualified having competed professionally at certain times in their lives. The people who come here are also spectacular, very helpful and kind, no malicious intent while sparring. Easily the best gym in Boston. On top of that, the gym is like a family, the environment fostered is very much a home. You can't go wrong here.
jideofor ojukwu: You cant go wrong coming to this gym, as it will leave a lasting impression on you. The atmosphere, teachers, and students are all great factors of this gym. There are people always willing to work with you and help you out, so there is never the feeling of being left out. You will learn a lot from the teachers who always go out their to help you perfect your technique, which can later be used in competitions or real world situations. Overall the sense of family is strong here, so if you got the time come and check this gym out.
Erik N: This is a very good gym with excellent coaches and excellent classes. All of the instructors are very knowledgeable and helpful to beginners and more experienced competitors alike. The rates are very reasonable and they allow you to pay by the class if you want. I would highly recommend it to anyone.

Back to Basics Martial Arts & Fitness: what do users think?
Anthony Eid: Last summer, I was living in Boston for my job and was unfamiliar with the area's MMA gyms. After researching several options, I decided to check out Back to Basics. From the first class, I knew it was the perfect place for me to spend my summer training.The community at the gym is fantastic because everyone is friendly, supportive, and dedicated to their training. The classes are well thought out, and the curriculum is concise and effective. Most importantly, Jeff is an exceptional coach who empowers his students to develop their own style while also pushing them to surpass their physical and mental limits.Looking back, I have fond memories of my time training at this gym, and I hope to return someday. If you're looking for a truly special place to train, I can't recommend Back to Basics enough. You won't just be welcomed into a gym, you'll be welcomed into a community.
Ruben C: Great spot, good vibes. Jeff is super awesome and runs a great place with welcoming vibes and really good students
James Afonso: Jeff is a great instructor and knows how to push his students. Great people great training.
Vishnu Patel: Jeff runs a good gym with good people and even better Jiu jitsu
Ali Bobi: Back to Basics is an amazing place to train with a friendly environment molded by Jeff Perez. To show my appreciation, I have written a rhyming haiku:Jeff is the man. Woo!He is my coach and pal too.We love Jiu-Jitsu.
Brenden Riggs: I travel fairly often for work and like to hit up the local Jiu Jitsu Gyms when possible.Though I was only able to attend two classes, it became immediately obvious that there are a ton of skilled people at this gym. And it's clear why:Jeff (the owner) has done a great job of fostering an amazing gym culture here. There's a perfect balance of not taking yourself too seriously, while also seriously working to improve everyone at the gym. Jeff discusses technique with students, but also the mindset/philosophy you should have when rolling.Great gym. Do yourself a favor and stop by if you're in the Boston area.
Xanthea Nikopoulos: If I could rate ten stars, I would. I started BJJ on a whim and was so nervous I would be completely out of my element, but I felt so accepted and encouraged with Jeff and the team.Women = completely safe spaceEveryone = respectful to the max, the more experienced people are always down to help and there is a strong spirit of camaraderie and learning rather than competitionGym = easily accessible on Newbury StreetEquipment = always clean and safeCoaches = the bestHow you feel knowing you get to go here on weeknights and learn to choke people out = badass
Will Meadows: This is one of the most welcoming gyms I’ve been too. Jeff cares deeply about each of his students and wants to see them improve. Very happy with my experience here.
Brett Turner: I’ve trained at many boxing & mma gyms, and I can’t say enough good things about Back to Basics. The instructors are experienced and charismatic, and do a great job of creating a welcoming & fun environment where people can challenge themselves at their own pace.The people who train here range from first timers to people who are actively competing, and the culture really is one where people check their egos at the door and are really good to each other. All in all a great place to train!
Jason Foster: I've been to a lot of gyms and back to basics has by far one of the best environments and communities. Everyone from the coaches to the students are extremely welcoming and the coaching is second to none. Jeff coaches in such a way that everyone will walk away from a class having learned something regardless of skill or prior experience. Regardless of your goals, if you're looking to get in shape, learn self defense, or compete this is an amazing gym.
Manuel Sobol: First time doing Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and had a very positive experience. Jeff is incredibly kind, passionate, and knowledgeable. The community and environment was very friendly and made learning easy. Highly recommend taking a class and training there.
Tim Reiss: The instructor Jeff Perez is an incredible professor. I've been working with him off and on for the last 6 months or so and have been learning a ton of exciting techniques. I forgot how addicting Brazilian Jiu Jitsu can be. He's created an ego-free culture at the gym where everyone is friendly and comes to learn and improve. Highly recommend.
Ryan King: I've been training with Coach Jeff for about a year now in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Muay Thai, and fitness in both a private and class setting. I can without hesitation say that I am in the best shape of my life both physically and mentally thanks to this training. The Martial Arts program that Coach Jeff provides focuses on the understanding of body mechanics that allow you to feel confident going up against any opponent no matter what advantage they may have over you on paper. At Back to Basics you get out what you put in so whether you want to get into better shape and learn how to defend yourself or become a competitor in your combat sport of choice, there is no better place to reach those goals.
Aneesh Naik: I've been training with Jeff for about two years now, since the time he used to teach at Sityodtong Boston. He's able to teach what is an inherently complicated sport in a way that is easily understood, regardless of your current skill level. If effective and practical (and fun!) martial arts is what you are looking for, look no further.
Victoria Sirois: I have been learning from coach Jeff for almost 3 years now and I absolutely love it!JiuJitsu wasn’t something I ever thought I would try until a good friend of mine convinced me to take a class and I was hooked. Jeff is a fantastic teacher and creates such a welcoming environment that I cannot stress enough, so much so that everyone should sign up immediately! So come have a ball with- us laughing on the mats, learning fun ways to get fit *gasps, it exists!* while learning to defend yourself.
Samara Gallegos: I came into the gym with no jiujitsu experience and what I found was a very welcoming environment filled with friendly people who want to learn and have fun. I have known Jeff for four years now from when he used to teach kick boxing lessons at Title. He is very patient and encouraging while he is teaching, and he has a extensive professional background in MMA. The way he teaches breaks down the lessons in an easy and understandable way no matter your level.
Porom Shivam Kalita: Positive:Professionalism,Quality,ValueThe best bjj gym in Boston!
David Sabin: I've trained in multiple cities under a couple of the biggest banners in jiu jitsu, and Jeff is one of the best coaches I've had. He's an engaging teacher with a focus on technique that has proven effective in both competition and self defense scenarios, irrespective of an individual's body type or athletic ability. If lineage is thing that's important to you, as an SBG black belt, he's got that covered too. Long story short--Jeff's building a fun and dangerous team out in Back Bay, and I highly recommend you come check it out.
Jon-Paul Lapena: The people at this gym feel like family. The instructor, Jeff, shows great passion for teaching, and his coaching comes with a lot of patience and attention; shows great respect to the craft. The new gym is intimate, with easy access from the Green Line (about a minute walk). Also, street parking is easy to come by at this time, so I wouldn't worry about paying garage fees. Training in jiujitsu was intimidating for me at the start, but I began to see progress about two-months into it, so stick to it! It's definitely worth the hard work.

Gracie Barra Boston: what do users think?
Sam Zorpette: I trained here for a few years, and have trained at a handful of other BJJ gyms in the northeast US. GB Boston is a top class gym. Great instructors and community of students. Undoubtedly one of the best in Boston
Nizia Viana: I love Gracie Barra .They truly care for your child’s development around self defense. In todays world bullying is everywhere and you need to protect your child from it. Gracie Barra is the place to prepare your child to learn self defense and interpersonal skills. Leadership, learning self-defense, increased strength and many more. BJJ transformed my son’s personality from shy to confident. I highly recommend them because it has been the best investment I ever done for my child’s education. In less than two months my son learned how to take control and most importantly finish the fight without hurting the other person. I encourage parents to give this place an opportunity to help your child build confidence and self defense skills. I promise you won’t regret it!
Tom Graham: The professors here are some of the best they are professional, courteous, unbiased, and patient. They really care about teaching and are more than helpful. The only negative side is managment he is a very biased individual when he's present 🙄
Henry Renaud: A great place to train! We were visiting from West Palm Beach and brought my son’s gear (he trains at Gracie Barra Jupiter) in hopes to get a training session in. We were welcomed by a great group of guys and immediately felt like family. Although it was an adult class, they worked in my 10 yr old son. He loved the class and can’t wait to go back! Thanks to Professor and all the students for making this experience a great one!
hima sagar: Welcoming and legit.
Matthew Goetchius: Great place! Did a private, 7 person group lesson for my brother and his friends, and we all had an excellent time. Staff was exceptionally accommodating of our time-constraints, and even gave us some extra time since some of our party arrived late! The team was incredibly knowledgeable and my brother, who was the only person with Jiu Jitsu experience prior, enjoyed learning a few new styles/techniques! Would recommend to anyone, beginner or otherwise.
Luke Muller: Great teacher and great community to train with. People willing to try new things and work together to improve. Would highly recommend training at this gym
Michael Eldridge: Trained here for a little over 2 years while living in Boston and was consistently impressed. The instruction is great and the community is truly top notch, as people are friendly, train hard, and leave their egos at the door. The emphasis is on improving yourself and your teammates and I'll miss training here now that I'm leaving Boston. Obrigado por tudo!
Brian Cutts: Great place! I got to come by and visit Boston to PR for American Grappling Federation. I’m lucky to have dropped by the Boston location to hand out flyers. If you need somewhere to focus on a skill and relieve stress, go here!
Salah Diab: Positive:Communication,Professionalism,Quality,Value
Robin Rouzeau: bon accueil et cours de qualité. Bonne expérience pour un étranger qui souhaite pratiquer pendant ses vacances !merci
Andy Dienes: very professional and beginner-friendly. I really enjoyed the few months I trained at GB Boston
brickcityluv: The best professors, support system, and family atmosphere for the up and coming athlete, and the veteran BJJ practitioner alike... Amazing place~ OSS!
alexander pabrezis: The most humble people hard working computers family atmosphere great professor's
Brendan Lynch: The Best "All Around" BJJ GymHands down the best BJJ gym I've been to. I've been to plenty of gyms all around the country for BJJ and Gracie Barra Boston is where I made the most progress. Regardless of skill level this place is perfect for you. Every professor is dedicated to making you not only the best BJJ practitioner, but the best person you can be by giving you the tools to excel in all areas of life.
Ishan Basu-Kesselman: My home gym is Gracie Barra Santa Ana. I was on vacation with my son visiting family and was in serious need of a good training day. The closest gym was Gracie Barra Boston. I emailed them to ask if me and my son could borrow a gi and train as a visitor. We got a quick response and a warm welcome to come and train that day. We met Professor Eduardo and the team when we got there and had an incredible training session. It just shows how no matter which GB in the world you visit you are always home. I recommend Gracie Barra Boston to anyone looking for the best Brazilian Jiu Jitsu academy in the area. Can’t wait to train again the next time we are in the area.
Phil Poma: Attended the 6:30 AM class while on vacation. Great instruction and training! Everyone was very welcoming and friendly. Great way to get your training in first thing in the morning - especially while on vacation with the family. Will definitely come back next time I'm in town. Highly recommend Gracie Barra Boston!
Brenten Scire: Good people!
Zach Hyman: I'd tried training at two other gyms around Boston, and neither compared to when I first walked into Gracie Barra to try their Fundamentals class. The GB Boston family is incredibly welcoming. The gym is organized and clean, and the classes are structured with a balance of learning and doing (but not overly rigid, and with time to roll and practice at the end). The coaches/professors are patient, and mindful of ensuring newcomers are well-situated. It's also convenient to get to by T - literally across the street from a stop on the Green Line. It's a very different vibe from the other gyms I've tried, and I'd strongly recommend it to anyone who's considering trying out Brazilian Jiu Jitsu for the first time!
Skoty Rea: I’ve been here for over 4 years and highly recommend this place for anyone looking to learn Jiu Jitsu and self defense or just get into shape! Very high quality instruction and overall awesome group of people.
Kevin Sampson: Great gym, awesome group of people train here. All levels from fundamentals to advanced.

Sityodtong Muay Thai Academy: what do users think?
Melina Ch: I cannot say enough things about the professionalism and just concentrated experience and knowledge that is collected in one place. I have been going here for almost 6 months when the COVID restrictions and shut downs would allow and cannot express how passionate the staff and coaches are. It is impossible to attend a class here and not feel how dedicated they coaches are to their craft and to passing it on to their students. It is a fine balance between teaching such a unique craft while not making it feel overwhelming for a newbie like me; a balance they strike perfectly every time. I would strongly recommend the classes here for anyone interested in learning Muay Thai and getting fit in the process.
Masha: Fun place to train with friendly fellow students and attentive instructors! I’m really enjoying it so far!
Christian Buscemi: Best place for REAL training. Come here with an open mind and really study. Sure they have had several ufc fighters they made stars out of but the reality is that anybody can learn to fight.
Cristian Martinez: Amazing atmosphere for anyone looking for muay thai, bjj, or mma. They take their time to teach you and make you feel part of the community. Can't recommend this place enough!!
Brian Peddie: I trained there from 2002-2004. Twenty years later I have never seen instructors better than these guys. Great gym, great instructors, no frills real deal gym.
Frank Garrett: It’s okay. Non thug environment and friendly. Best trainers in the Boston area in my experience and worth the money. No matter how good you are you can get better here. Plenty of pads and heavy bags. The owner and trainers are a close imitation to Muay Thai but not 100% authentic fundamental Muay Thai despite what they may think; no surprise since none of them are Thais. Closer to being 100% than the rest of the gyms in the area however, and more comprehensive. No showers here for when you’re finished and sweaty.
Nicole Byard: I was in town for the weekend and dropped in on the Saturday 10am all levels class muay thai class. Great instructor and welcoming group of people to train with. I would definitely go back next time I am in town!
Dylan Duggan: One of the best gyms to learn Muay Thai!! The trainers are super nice and very professional. If you want to learn this is the place to go!❤😊🙏
Sara Alice Harris: loved my time boxing there with Coach Massey and Coach Lyle! Miss it every d a m n day. I wish I lived closer...
Erwann Couesbot: Great Muay Thai and MMA place. Great team and coaches. Highly recommended!
Dave RALEIGH: First impressions for a martial arts gym are everything, and this place sets the bar high. The knowledge and reputation are first class, and the renovated upstairs is perfect. Trainers and students have always been respectful. I'd still be there if I didn't move across the country...but I make a point to stop in and train a couple times when I come home on vacation. Get in and train, you can do it!
Emily Kelly: No better place to go if you want to train with the best, learn from the best, be the best.
Sean Bettencourt: Hands down best gym on the east coast! Very knowledgeable and caring coaches with high intensity training with the best competitors in New England. #DellagrotteKarate all the way.
Amber Costa: I first tried getting ahold of Kru Mark on Tuesday morning. I was told that he was out of the office for the day but that he would return my phone call the next day. I did not hear from him so I called again. No one answered so I left a message. It is now Friday and I have left 4 messages and no one has called me back. I finally decided to reach out to another gym today. I called the gym about an hour ago and the owner already got back to me and we set something up right away. Disappointing!
Garfield McIntosh: I known Kru Mark about 20yrs one of the Best Instructors in mauy thai every also the Best School in Boston ..
Michael Hurst: Simply.Amazing
Isidro José Suárez Ávila: The best muay thai team!!!!

Brazilian Top Team Boston: what do users think?
Yahya Kaddouri: I just wanna know if this club still open.
Dexterity: I’ve been training here for 4 years, it’s a great place and great teachers. Jiu-jitsu changed my LIFE
Tata’s Vlog: My kids has been going there for the past 6 years , great environment,Awesome teachers ! i really recommend it !!
Ricardo R: I’ve been training at BTT Boston since 2009. Great atmosphere, a lot of higher belts and Prof. Daniel Gazoni (5th degree black belt) is a pioneer of BJJ in New England with over 20 years of experience. This sport had helped us a lot in the positive way. We meet so many people from many places, people from different countries, and we always learn something from each other. Highly recommended.
Louis Turner: Went for a BJJ class a few years ago it was good, returned to Boston to see family, this week and have tried several times to call, tried several times to chat online and even left an email before I came, to ask about a few things...no response at all. I HAVE called during hours posted(hours which the website says yall are open), have tried to chat during hours posted online as open and having class...no response. Today there was supposed to be a muay thai class at 12, I got there at 1215, no one was there.I'm curious if the scheduled times are accurate as during those hours no one answered the phone when I called. I know it's not all about me but its frustrating when reaching out about class times, payment(which wasn't working online) etc and no response is given, not even after the fact.The muay thai class, an instructor Leo were great, but due to poor lack of communication, its a one star affair.Be well. "Ish"
Patrick: Bah!!!…ruhhh…..uh
M L: Took my first class, I was a little nervous driving over - but they made me feel right at home!!!The experts here are great teachers, the students have a positive attitude, and this locations environment, atmosphere and comradery inspire growth.see you inside!
Jean Harris: I like this gym very much. Great ppl to wrk out with and around, everyone's nice. Staff is great. And also a great price for the family if you need to bring kids with you. Check to see the times available to babysitting.
Buggyjae Bjj: Awesome campCame from a entire different gymInstantly fell in love with the atmosphere and the peopleEver since thenI never left
Amina Ferrer: location is awesome super competitive and yet still laid backbetween the long list of black belts always there training to the lower belts there everyone is willing to help you out !!!!highly recommendboth kids & adults
Marian V Esanu: If you want to feel like you belong to your bjj fam, BTT is the best place to be. Regardless if you are a hobbyist or want to compete, prof Daniel will help you achieve your goals.
Adrian Eșanu: The best Jiu Jitsu team I ever trained with!!!
Gimena DeFilpo: Nice place I wish I can give them a 5 star but the jiu jitsu for kids there didn’t went well for my 8 years old ! Other kid BROKE his finger just bc he didn’t tap out on the mat !! The kids was the same age but more experience . My just started and learning . I called the manager few times nobody call me back . My child really want to learn jiu jitsu but after few hours at EMERGENCY room of course he don’t want to back there . BROKE FINGER!! Very sad .
Kenneth Siriani: Best group of guys and gals around and the instructors are second to none. Very competitive ( they teach but also compete at a very high level) and make it challenging and fun at the same time. I’ve got life events I’m going though, but look forward to returning. I genuinely like coming here as I consider many here my friends
Leticia Ugiete: Critical:Professionalism
alexander pabrezis: Amazing great school and unbelievable instructor's and some of the best people students I've ever meet
perry gagnon: Honestly I can't even begin to say enough great things about Brazilian top team Boston they have a team or better yet said a "family" that is welcoming to all. The atmosphere caters to just about anyone. Those who may be competitive, people that may just be looking to lose weight while learning a valuable skill set. it really doesn't matter because under this roof it's managed and instructed by Professor Daniels a real gem in the jiu-jitsu community. also followed by his many successful black belts who are always willing to share with and progress all students. if you're looking for a loyal honest family based jujitsu academy that will give you the results you're looking for this is probably the one give them a try, you won't regret it!
Fabio Incalado: Positive:Communication,Professionalism,Quality,ValueProfessor Daniel is the best professor you can have. The team is super nice, I learned a lot and have a lot of fun.
Daniel De Oliveira: Best Jiu Jitsu gym Metro Boston. Professor Daniel Gazzoni is very knowledgeable and personable. Great atmosphere.
Zakaria Azeggouar Wallen: One of the best gyms out there. Has very different style from Brazilian jujitsu to muathai and Olympic style taekwondo. Friendly instructors. Great with kids. Multiple blackbelt during BJJ.
