Outstanding in every relevant way. All of the practical self defense with none of the ego. I believe Rener said it best: "Just because you're learning how to fight, doesn't mean you have to fight to learn. " If you're looking for old school, self defense focused, Gracie Jiu Jitsu, look no further. David Chan excels at and embodies not only the technique but the spirit in which it is intended to be practiced according to the Gracie philosophy; practical, efficient, effective, non-aggressive, and humble. Again, all of the effectiveness, none of the ego.
Excellent instructor, class culture, and location. The instructor as well as other members have a friendly nature that's there to help you learn. Great balance between easing people in comfortably while ensuring you're progressing and taking your learning seriously. Really happy that I found this place. Was able to take advantage of the free trial and was immediately happy to join after the first session. Really like that I can attend any Gracie Jiu-Jitsu locations including the one in Quincy or internationally.
A true family like environment, with excellent instructors 👍🏻
greatest place to learn jujitsu. greatest teachers and a very clean academy. people are very friendly and willing to help.
I grew up training and competing in martial arts until high school, so when my wife and I moved to Boston, I knew I wanted to find a great dojo and get back on "the path". I've been training here and at the Quincy location for about 4 months and I absolutely love it. It was obvious from my first class that this school attracts and retains great people. Derric and Dan are truly excellent instructors, with a deep knowledge of the ethos, spirit, and tactical precision of Gracie Jiu-Jitsu. The classes are always fun and enlightening, and family atmosphere makes it feel like a second home. If you're looking for a top-notch dojo to continue your journey as a student of martial arts, this is where you want to be.
A legit place to train BJJ
This is a very welcoming environment and clean facility. David explains every detail of a technique and coaches you in a way which enables you to learn quickly and makes the class very rewarding and fun. Thank you David for helping me improve in many ways. Much gratitude and respect. Erick
Professional instruction that is clear and welcoming to beginners while challenging for experienced learners. A great place to learn and perfect a new skill. Recommend to anyone interested in picking up Jiu Jitsu and taking it to the next level.
So, I took a shot at trying out Jiu-Jitsu at Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Dedham led by instructor Derric Crothers. My first thought walking in seeing the class in session: I was in no way going to be able to do any of this. But I put on the uniform, walked to the mat and watched the group practice. Soon, I realized it wasn't as intimidating as I thought it would be. Everyone there was very welcoming, inclusive and very helpful. The class instructor, Derric is very approachable and a complete professional. He explained each move so clearly that you feel like you can definitely do it all - and surprised that you actually can! And the uniform is cool, too!
My son loves it here. He is learning allot in the bully proof program
The combatives program is structured perfectly for beginners. The classes offered are no pressure and the instructions are very clear and informative. Derric and David can really break down the techniques to help speed up the learning process.
