Great place to train. Nice people and good rolls all the way around. It is very clean too! If you’re ever in town and want to roll, definitely stop by!

I joined the gym nearly six months ago, and I haven’t regretted it for a single moment. The coaching and atmosphere are truly top-tier. I still remember my very first class—it was a bit intimidating at first, but Vince and Tom went out of their way to break everything down and make me feel comfortable. I am grateful for the support and to be a part of such an awesome team!

Since day one I have loved training at Boston BJJ Woburn. The gym is consistently immaculate and the atmosphere is pressure free - no contract required, which is perfect for those who are trying for the first time. The staff is great, very team- oriented, and led by a highly skilled set of instructors that provide a ton of value for the money. Highly recommend.

Shoutout to the 6AM morning crew at Boston BJJ! The energy is nothing but positive, the gym is spotless, and the coaches (Tom, Vince, and Jake) bring a systematic approach to teaching - effective for every belt level. I’ve trained at a few gyms across the North Shore, and while they’ve all been great, nothing compares to the coaching and energy here.
