As a small female, I was very apprehensive about trying jiujitsu. However, Shelby and the team at Balance Point foster an inclusive environment that focuses on learning & progressing with a training partner, versus treating each other as opponents.
The coaches are knowledgeable and patient, and are willing to meet you where you are in terms of age, size and ability.
If you’re thinking of learning something new or enhancing your training routine, I would highly recommend checking out Balance Point.
I’ve been training at Balance Point for almost a year and I can say with all honesty that the community and atmosphere is absolutely incredible. The people here are truly some of the most patient and kind. Always welcoming towards newcomers and anyone who comes along looking for new places to train. Attending these classes are a genuine highlight for my week, anyone who’s looking for a nonjudgmental and positive space to train should check out Balance Point.
Couldnt be happier with my expierence at balance point bjj. Shelby is a wealth of knowledge and has created something special. As someone who began with no expierence, I felt extremely welcomed by shelby along with the other members.
Since starting at balance point bjj- i have gained confidence, formed friendships, and have began to learn principles that also apply to every day life

I've been training at Balance Point Brazilian Jiu Jitsu for a little over a year, and I couldn't be happier with my experience. Shelby, our instructor, is simply fantastic. His expertise and dedication have significantly improved my skills.
What truly sets this place apart is the positive energy of the team. It feels like a second family. The camaraderie and support make every training session a joy. I'm grateful for the journey here and excited for what's to come. Highly recommended! 🥋💪

I've been training regularly at Balance Point for a little over a year. What stands out most to me--even more than the excellent quality of the instruction--is the culture. Shelby has crafted a BJJ training experience that balances intensity with safety, challenge with fun, fellowship with openness. There is a strong foundation of trust that makes training here a unique opportunity to better oneself and provide the kind of iron sharpens iron relationships otherwise lacking in our lives. Highly recommended!
Excellent instructors who bring a good mixture of technical knowledge and the ability to make it fun. Plus being inside Hampshire Hills creates so many more opportunities for families.
My husband and daughter absolutely love BJJ! Coach Shelby is an outstanding coach! The gym environment, the friends you make along the way, having a coach that loves every second of his job! There is nothing better than to see smiles every SINGLE time we leave the gym. Our daughter asks me every day, "Mom, how many more days until class again"? 🤣 If you haven't checked it out yet, don't wait any longer because you won't be disappointed but disappointed you didn't start SOONER!
Superb instruction from knowledgeable instructors. Convenient location and class times. Safe and welcoming group. Can't really ask for much more. Highly recommend to anyone from just starting out to advanced level practice
I have nothing but great things to say about this place. It’s clean, people are friendly, and instructors are very knowledgeable. I’m new to the gym and everyone’s been very kind and made me feel welcomed. 11/10 would recommend!
Highly recommend training here! I was in town visiting family, and decided to come drop-in for a no-gi class. It was the most I've ever learned in a single hour session. Shelby is incredibly knowledgeable and a great coach. Can't wait to come visit again when I'm back in town!
Very happy a BJJ Academy opened up in a convenient location. As an older person I was on the fence about trying it and if I was "too late" to learn. Couldn't be happier to be involved and learning from an awesome, legit Coach in a fun and very safe environment. Don't get in your own way, come check it out!
Nice convenient location with fair pricing and high level instruction. Coach Shelby is great and makes sure you understand the details of what you’re working on. Great atmosphere for anyone. Would strongly recommend to anyone wanting to train in Jiu Jitsu, kickboxing, or Muay Thai.
