My kids have been going there since November and have been so excited to attend class. The instructors and community there are very warm and welcoming!
The instruction, facility, family values, and atmosphere are absolutely outstanding!
At 62 I was apprehensive about starting such a rigorous program, but found out immediately that I was not the only older student but that I could go at my own pace, without embarrassment. However, I was encouraged to challenge myself by the instructors and fellow students.
I saw the whole school express pride when a student did better. I could barely do one of the 5 minute "roll" sessions, but after a few weeks I could do three. I know that's no big deal but it was to me. Then, many students started telling how good I was progressing. Now my goal is six rolls!
On the other hand, there are certainly a wide array of young skilled fighters to train with. Both men and women. I also noticed that the women seemed comfortable training at this school.
The instruction here is quite special. Complete and practical with lots of drilling.
You learn a technique, drill it, drill with non cooperating opponent, then apply it while "fighting". This way you can actually apply the moves for real.
I watched several kids classes and those are fantastic as well.
A wonderful school and BJJ community for sure!
My friend referred me to this place I signed up my 8 year old son and he absolutely loves it. Great place to learn self defense, discipline and it gives me peace knowing he ca defend himself. In addition I started training and I also absolutely love it.
Great facility - mats are newer with no holes or “soft” spots. Mats are clean and I haven’t encountered anyone who’s had/gotten a skin infection. Ample parking and in an easy to access location for anyone living north of Boston. Everyone there is great especially the professor who’s gone out of his way to assist myself personally in competing. Not just isolated to me, I’ve seen people across all spectrums be assisted by him and his method. Don’t listen to online forums regarding other Gracie Barra’s - this is a gym you want to come to, learn at, and stay in regardless of what your goal is in jiu-jitsu.
Since my daughter started training at Gracie Barra, we have seen an incredible improvement in various aspects of her life. The welcoming environment and highly skilled instructors have been crucial to her growth. Not only has she learned valuable jiu-jitsu techniques, but she has also become more disciplined, confident, and resilient. I am immensely grateful to the entire Gracie Barra Peabody team for providing such a positive and transformative experience. I highly recommend this academy to anyone looking for true development in jiu-jitsu and in life!
Fun, respectful, energetic atmosphere for my 4 year old. After attending just a few classes the progression of confidence has been amazing to see. The Professor is wonderful with children and is able to balance fun with learning in a way that keeps the kids engaged throughout the whole hour class.
Great environment to develop personal defense and confidence!
Very clean and organized gym.
Impeccable service with great professors.
I highly recommend!!
Took my younger sister to the kids class for the first time and it was such a positive experience. Gabriel genuinely kind and patient making her feel completely at ease and excited to learn. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a new sport for their kids.
