I tried trial classes at several BJJ gyms in the area, and SYF easily stood out for its amazing energy and genuinely friendly atmosphere (and the most reasonable cost). I was nervous starting with no experience, but the instructors here are incredibly patient and supportive, something I didn’t see as much at other gyms. I ended up signing up for a membership right away. If you’re looking for a great workout, welcoming people, and knowledgeable, patient coaches, definitely check out SYF. You won’t regret it!

Great gym for kids and adults! They have conveniently schedule, patient teachers that work with kids nicely, family atmosphere and parents community. Fantastic location for Watertown, Boston, newton and Brookline. Nicely priced for 3-7 classes a week for kids. And they have summer and winter camps that my kids love.

Submit Your Friends lives up to its name in every way—it's not just a jujitsu academy, it's a community where friendships are forged and champions are made. From the moment we walked through the doors, we knew this was something special. Bruno, the master instructor, is truly phenomenal with the kids. His depth of knowledge, unmatched patience, and world-class skill set create an environment where children feel supported, challenged, and inspired. He doesn’t just teach technique—he instills discipline, confidence, and respect. What sets SYF apart is that the training goes beyond the mat. Students have real opportunities to test their skills in tournaments—locally, across state lines, and even internationally. That’s right—your child could be traveling the world, representing SYF and growing through unforgettable experiences. SYF also emphasizes accountability and ownership of the craft, encouraging kids to take pride in their progress. And when school’s out, SYF steps up with engaging summer camps and school-break activities that keep kids active, learning, and connected. I wholeheartedly recommend Submit Your Friends to any parent looking for more than just a martial arts program. It’s a place where your child will grow physically, mentally, and socially. It’s not just a training facility—it’s a gathering of friends, true to the name.
