I consider myself very lucky that I get train with such a wonderful, supportive group of people. Even when I couldn't make the evening classes and could only make the open mats (which is changing next week yay!), everyone was very helpful in making sure that I learned new techniques. Honestly I don't care where you live. Coming here is worth the...

This is the place you want to learn Brazilian Jiu Jitsu from. I trained with Brett and The Lab for over a year before I had to move out of Dedham, and my experience there was nothing short of stellar.

The head coach of the Lab Brett Oteri is very friendly and welcoming to all people no matter experience level. I have noticed he makes sure to address the concerns of all his students from the lower ranks- higher ranks equally. He genuinely want to see all of his students succeed not only in martial arts but in life.

This place is great! I signed my two sons up for these classes and they absolutely love it. The coaches are amazing and work well with the kids. It is very family oriented, the parents are allowed to sit and watch their children for the entire class. And the prices are very affordable and reasonable! I would definitely recommend to any parent...
