Love this place. I’ve been doing Muay Thai here for the last 6months and am hooked. I was going to another dojo not far from here and also loved it, but it came to the point where I felt like I wasn’t growing anymore in the sport there. I made the choice to switch gyms, and I am glad I did! I feel like I’ve grown so much as a marital artist here- and we’re only just getting started. The coaches are awesome and always have something new to teach me/ a way to get me to the next level of where I am striving to be.I know it can be intimidating, especially for females in a male dominated sport, but you will find nothing but love and hard work at this place.

I love this school. The instructors are very knowledgeable and very welcoming. With all the technical knowledge and seriousness of this school, the instructors are trying their best to form a community. We hang out for UFC matches and it’s always great to find company to watch these. The senior belts are also like instructors and are extremely patient with new students like me. Highly recommended if you want to learn jiu jitsu.

I LOVED VISITING BMAC WHILE IN BOSTON! I had the best tome handing out with Professor Marcelo and his team! They made me feel right at home and gave me the privilege to teach a class while visiting to promote American Grappling Federation! Thank you guys!
