Dropped in for a no gi class a few weeks ago. A couple of things stood out to me. 1. Gym is very spacious and very clean. 2. Felt welcomed right away. The woman working at the front desk and a lot of the guys that trained here were very friendly 3.despite the huge mat space, the mat filled up fast. Big classes with lots of different styles and talent. 4. Other amenities like changing rooms and a section with weights as well. This is a great gym with great coaching and a great group of martial artists. I definitely recommend checking it out

Working out of town and wanted to find somewhere I could get some rolls in. Made it to Wednesday night no-gi class and had a blast. Great group of people. Everyone I partnered with was welcoming and worked with me when I had questions. Unfortunately I had to catch an early flight and wasn't able to get a gi or striking class in, but if I'm ever back in town I will most definitely stop in. Thanks for a great class you guys!

I’ve been a member at North Andover BJJ for 2+ years. I started off just taking the boxing classes and was honestly pretty nervous to try jiu jitsu. Coach Kyle encouraged me to give it a shot, and I’m so glad I did! I ended up loving it and still do. There are a lot of women in the classes, which really helped me feel comfortable starting out. The gym has such a great family atmosphere - it’s fun, welcoming, and everyone looks out for each other. The new front desk staff is super friendly and easy to talk to, and all the coaches are quick to give personal feedback with patience and real knowledge. It’s just an awesome place to train and be part of a community.

Big shout out to North Andover Jiu Jitsu! Honest review here..Decided to sign my 5 year old son up 3 months ago because he had his first bully in school and I wanted him to learn to defend himself if need be, and I’m glad I did. Not only has it given him a little confidence, but discipline as well. Coach Kyle does a great job at preparing them for actual jiu Jitsu and making it fun along the way. This place has a great balance for those that just want to train recreationally but also for those that seek to compete. I sat and watched my sons classes for 2 months before I decided I had to join for myself. 1 month in for me so far and I love it. Great energy from the folks that train here and all I can say is that I wish I’d joined sooner.

We introduced our 7YO to the Kid’s Gi classes about 6 months ago - it has transformed our child’s confidence and discipline in ways that we could only dream of. Coach Kyle and his team welcome everybody into their gym with kindness, patience, and a hard work ethic. After watching my child grow so quickly, I decided to join the adult Gi program and have truly enjoyed meeting many people from every walk of life over the last few months. It is a training facility for the community, and you feel that when you are observing, but more so when you are participating. With the free trial classes, you are allowed the time and space to determine what class/training program is a good fit, which is a great no-pressure option to understand where you would fit in. I cannot say enough great things about this business and their culture. If you are curious, give it a try - I doubt you/your child/your friend will regret it!

I recently joined North Andover Jiujitsu after my previous school unfortunately did close, and I was searching for a new jiujitsu home with my dad. This is one of the coolest places I've ever trained, with a very laid back but respectful vibe and a safe but hard style of rolling. I'm a nineteen year old female, and like many females in the sport, I've had (althought thankfully, very few) negative experiences rolling with people without self control or without proper training on submissions and overall mat etiquette. I have not encountered a single experience like that since joining this school. The training style is fast paced, tough, but VERY safe. I've had some really amazing flows as well as full out rolls since joining. I also want to say that the school itself is very welcoming. Coach Kyle was open and inviting from the getgo, and I felt zero pressure or anything of the sort from him. He's awesome! I was a bit nervous on how it would be transferring here from another school, as I am a blue belt and my father is a purple belt, but it was no different than it would be with anyone else. Once I got over my initial shyness, I was easily able to talk and roll with everyone, and everyone was incredibly nice and like I said before, very welcoming. Even after being here for a couple weeks, people still regularly check in and ask how I'm liking the school. It's really truly appreciated. In short, the school is clean, has a very cool vibe, is very safe, has a welcoming energy, and Coach Kyle and the other coaches are truly great to learn from. I'm really happy my dad and I decided to train here.

Absolutely a first class gym! I grew up around combat sports and Kyle is by far the most knowledgeable and easy to learn from coach I've seen. Everytime I'm in class he is unbelievably easy to follow. His work with the adult classes is 2nd to none but the way he works with my 6 year old son's classes is just amazing. I can't say enough about North Andover Jiu-jitsu, Kyle, and his entire coaching staff. Also the woman at the front desk is one of the nicest people, she always plays with and entertains my son while I'm doing my class. If you're looking for yourself or your children to get into this great sport, you would be doing yourself a disservice by going anywhere else!!!

I have always been impressed with the way Kyle set up and runs his operations. Everything he does and uses has always been of high-quality. This one was NO exception!! It is super clean, efficient and welcoming. From having a front desk operator, merch store, benches next to the mats.. The way everything was carefully designed makes a big difference for anyone training or spectating here! - TRAINING - Kyle “Crash” Bochniak has such a strong background and credibility to what he is teaching. I love the fact he can take anyone that has no idea what they’re doing and can transform them to a whole different person within a few sessions! During class, he lays out the foundational technique and then increased the complexity and options that one can add upon it. Class is very informative the way Kyle gave context to WHY/WHEN/HOW you should do certain moves. P.S. Very happy for North Andover Jiu-Jitsu with their recent expansion of the gym.. The space feels incredible to train in and they will definitely need the space considering how many monsters will be created here! North Andover Jiu Jitsu, Keep it up. Big blessings and much love! 🥋🥊🙏🏾

I had a wonderful trial boxing class here. The instructor was knowledgeable with his coaching, patient with beginners as in a given class there are variable levels of experience, and he did not rush me to learn every thing at once but stressed the importance of getting the correct foundations learned first. Being only the few females in a group of males in the class i attended that evening, I did not feel uncomfortable or treated differently and that’s testament of the leadership of the instructors. Also the classes didn’t make me feel i was just going through the motions but i was truly learning the sport. i felt i was learning something new as well as getting a great workout. i didn’t collapse at the end of the class but i did feel it the few days in my muscles as i am out of shape!! i’m looking forward to future classes! :). thanks Kyle and team for your professionalism, pleasantness and knowledge!! i would definitely recommend BJJ!!

Overall, I think it's fine. Parking: plenty of parking in front and around the building. Pricing: they offer multiple pricing options which is very convenient. Month to month, 3-6-12 months. Obviously the longer term you do the less you pay per month. They have a 3 day grace period from when you sign up where you can cancel if you change your mind. However, I don't like that you can't see the prices anywhere except in person. This is, in my opinion, a predatory sales pressure tactic. People should be able to see the prices on the website or somewhere else easy to see. Class: class is very fun. I do the adult MMA, which I would say is not particularly beginner friendly here but this is a plus to me as I already have experience. They don't put stretching and jump ropes or rolling or whatever in the class, the class is just 100% getting into the martial arts which is nice, less time wasted. So it helps a lot if you have at least some experience (e.g, you know how to roll, how to fall safely, how to throw a punch/kick, footwork, basic stuff.) They also do sparring often which I love. I also like that there is plenty of space; I've been in other gyms that you're almost shoulder to shoulder with people, but the mat area is very roomy and accommodates everyone well. There's also a little locker area where you can keep your stuff which is nice. Service: I really don't like interacting with the front desk lady, she's very frigid and I always get the impression she is slightly annoyed to have to look up from her phone to interact with anyone. Kyle (the instructor) is fine. He's very energetic, unfortunately sometimes this means he has little patience for questions during the class. Schedule: the schedule is pretty good. 7 pm Monday, Wednesday, Friday adult mma and 1 pm saturday kickboxing. My only gripe is to see announcements for holidays and special events, you have to go to their Instagram. I don't use social media and I don't want to start just to see if classes are on or not. This info should be somewhere easy to see like the website or a member portal.

Overall, I think it's bad. There are some pluses but the teacher is the most important part and I did not enjoy him at all. Parking: plenty of parking in front and around the building. Pricing: they offer multiple pricing options which is very convenient. Month to month, 3-6-12 months. Obviously the longer term you do the less you pay per month. They have a 3 day grace period from when you sign up where you can cancel if you change your mind. However, I don't like that you can't see the prices anywhere except in person. This is, in my opinion, a predatory sales pressure tactic. People should be able to see the prices on the website or somewhere else easy to see. Another tip on this: this place clearly spends heavily on advertising, at least on FB and Instagram. Anywhere that tries so hard with advertising is somewhere you should be very wary of. Class: class is fun. I do the adult MMA, which I would say is not particularly beginner friendly here but this is a plus to me as I already have experience. They don't put stretching and jump ropes or rolling or whatever in the class, the class is just 100% getting into the martial arts which is nice, less time wasted.

Service: I really don't like interacting with the front desk lady, she's very frigid and I always get the impression she is slightly annoyed to have to look up from her phone to interact with anyone. Kyle (the instructor) is pretty bad. I'm sure he's a great fighter, based on all the medals and trophies on the wall. But being good at anything doesn't make you good at teaching that skill. Kyle is impatient, disrespectful, dislikes being asked questions, and overall unpleasant to be around on the mat. Every time he came over to me and my partner I tensed up because I knew he wasn't going to listen to how I felt performing a technique, he would just tell you to do something fast, slap you around while trying to teach you something, or use the bag. I need to ask questions about techniques to understand them from a technical perspective and he told me to stop asking questions and just do it. Didn't enjoy that. This is a very sport focused place, so if you're looking for self defense skills I recommend looking elsewhere. A few of the skills I learned here, I would not use in places like the street or anywhere where there is a hard surface. Things he has said like "this is MMA, not karate" have also made me question his teaching expertise. Any good MMA teacher understands that MMA means mixed martial arts, and if someone can use karate effectively and that's what they're comfortable with, they should use that. Schedule: the schedule is pretty good. 7 pm Monday, Wednesday, Friday adult mma and 1 pm saturday kickboxing. My only gripe is to see announcements for holidays and special events, you have to go to their Instagram. I don't use social media and I don't want to start just to see if classes are on or not.

Signed up for a membership here and was only able to attended one class which was great and the environment was awesome . Unfortunately, due to medical reason i was unable to attend for two weeks in which I had to cancel my membership, not to mention the only way to do so was with a doctors note. I brought the note to the girl at the front two weeks after I had signed up, Kyle happened to be in front too. I told them the reason why I had to cancel before my monthly membership, which happened to be charged the day i went in, not 30 days after… They listened to my reason in which both did not seem to care. I had mentioned, since I was only able to attended one class, in two weeks, am I able to get my $200 refund due to my medical issue? Kyle said “No because i signed the agreement”. I understand how things work but we are also human & things happen, these people don’t care & shows that Kyle was money hungry. I wanted to give this place a 5 star because the one class was super fun but Kyle did not care to accommodate or be considerate with me. He stated ”It is what it is” shrugged his shoulders & chuckled.
