The Gracie Barra Boston jiu jitsu program is aligned with the teaching methods developed by our Master Carlos Gracie Jr. to meet the specific learning needs of people from different ages, genders, and levels. Our clean, friendly and progress-minded environment will challenge and inspire you, and provide a training experience that aims to encourage and make you excited to come back the next day.
I'm planning to move to the area soon and had some familiarity of Gracie Barra gyms after training at the Pasadena location in the past. The gym is huge, clean, and has a great vibe to it. I participated in their 12pm-1pm No Gi class and had a great time while getting a solid workout in. I can't wait to train here full time.
The private program is made for all students, beginner through advanced. Its structure condenses an immense diversity of Jiu-Jitsu into a program that will intelligently and safely optimize your learning. Our certified instructors will arrive at your door with portable Brazilian jiu Jitsu mats to teach a fun, safe and effective private class.

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!

The Best "All Around" BJJ Gym
Hands 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

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

Best BJJ gym I've ever trained at. Prof. Alex is one of the nicest and most helpful instructors I've ever had the pleasure of training with. You can expect to be welcomed into a supportive and nurturing family when joining GB3. Plenty of mat space, and tons of gym equipment as well. Facilities are always clean, there is plenty of locker room space. GB3 also has a very flexible schedule for both gi and no-gi practitioners. Overall a great place to train!

The hardest part of any healthy endeavor is starting. The second hardest part is finding a reason to stay. I have been training consistently at Gracie Barra Back Bay for about 3 years. I recommend this martial arts school to anyone but particularly to beginners and those looking for a fun, unique way to get into exceptionally good shape. This is certainly a good place for people of any age (I am 36) and body type. I've seen students at Gracie lose significant amounts of weight. I've seen students here develop discipline and self defense skills. I've seen students here become more confident and

Gracie Barra Back Bay is more than just a jiu-jitsu gym. I started training 4 years ago under the world class instruction of Prof. Alex Costa. Prof. Alex is more than just a regular professor, he is a mentor that helped me through hard times both on and off the mats. His technique is on point and he is able to explain the smallest details to students of all levels. He is considerate, friendly and extremely charismatic. I have trained at other gyms before, but I can say that this is definitely the most friendly environment I have been in. You will consider this a second home and family. If you want

Started training here 5 years ago and have never looked back. Great school with great instruction, everyone was very welcoming when I first started and that kept me coming back. The school is great for all ages and sizes as there is a wide variety of people who attend each class. Alex is a great instructor and having trained at other schools whilst traveling I can say that he is 100% the most friendly and easy to approach. It is a great work out for both the body and mind and I would recommend this school to anybody.

From Professor Alex and Owner Ashley on down to people who only joined a couple months ago, everybody at this gym is friendly and helpful. The gym itself is generally clean and Ashley responds quickly to any concerns (for example, fixing a door that won't stay shut). I have grown as a practitioner more quickly than at any other school. Alex is amazing- always supportive, always ready to push you toward your individual goals.
There are classes early in the morning, midday, and evening, and the school is right by T and bus stops, so it's easy to get there regardless of your schedule.
