The Best "All Around" BJJ GymHands down the best BJJ gym I've been to. I've been to plenty of gyms all around the country for BJJ and Gracie Barra Boston is where I made the most progress. Regardless of skill level this place is perfect for you. Every professor is dedicated to making you not only the best BJJ practitioner, but the best person you can be by giving you the tools to excel in all areas of life.

My home gym is Gracie Barra Santa Ana. I was on vacation with my son visiting family and was in serious need of a good training day. The closest gym was Gracie Barra Boston. I emailed them to ask if me and my son could borrow a gi and train as a visitor. We got a quick response and a warm welcome to come and train that day. We met Professor Eduardo and the team when we got there and had an incredible training session. It just shows how no matter which GB in the world you visit you are always home. I recommend Gracie Barra Boston to anyone looking for the best Brazilian Jiu Jitsu academy in the area. Can’t wait to train again the next time we are in the area.

Attended the 6:30 AM class while on vacation. Great instruction and training! Everyone was very welcoming and friendly. Great way to get your training in first thing in the morning - especially while on vacation with the family. Will definitely come back next time I'm in town. Highly recommend Gracie Barra Boston!

I'd tried training at two other gyms around Boston, and neither compared to when I first walked into Gracie Barra to try their Fundamentals class. The GB Boston family is incredibly welcoming. The gym is organized and clean, and the classes are structured with a balance of learning and doing (but not overly rigid, and with time to roll and practice at the end). The coaches/professors are patient, and mindful of ensuring newcomers are well-situated. It's also convenient to get to by T - literally across the street from a stop on the Green Line. It's a very different vibe from the other gyms I've tried, and I'd strongly recommend it to anyone who's considering trying out Brazilian Jiu Jitsu for the first time!

Ive been part of this gym for 4 years and the instruction is world class. Professor Alex is a genuinely good hearted person who really cares about his students and the fact the he is an encyclopedia of jiu jitsu is just a bonus.The entire team at GB3, from Alex and Ashely, to the coaches and students, will make you feel at home from the very second you walk in. Whether your new to jiu jitsu, maybe looking for a kids program, or you are a world class champion, there isnt a better gym in the area and you should not hesitate to come check us out!
