Atom, Jiu-Jitsu & Science in Newton

Atom BJJ is terrific . The environment here is super welcoming, and the coaching is truly top-notch. I can’t recommend it enough for anyone looking to train in a supportive and high-level setting. Sign up for a trial class, you won’t regret it!

Amazing gym and such a gift to the area. Dan is an dynamic instructor - I’ve trained at a couple different gyms and learned a huge amount in only a few months at Atom. He’s also built an awesome community; super welcoming no matter your level or goals. Different class times to accommodate every schedule. Definitely check out a class if you’ve ever considered trying jiu jitsu, I bet you’ll stick around!

I’ve trained at several Jiu Jitsu gyms in my life and after only a couple of weeks of training I know that this is the best gym I’ve ever trained at. Top professors that know what they’re doing and know how to teach all the techniques and a great environment with great raining partners. Couldn’t recommend things enough!

Great place to learn and train. Daniel Mola has created a respectful and challenging atmosphere and dedicated himself to each person who trains here. Whether early in the morning, midday or during the evening (I’ve attended all of these) he brings the same intensity and energy to every class, making this a great learning experience. The community here is also worth mentioning, as there are many talented practitioners who train with intensity, matching the skills of their partner, without attempting to show off. As Professor Daniel says (I’m paraphrasing here) the experience here is not to help you grow your ego, it is to improve your skills. Oss

This is by far the best gym I have ever trained at. With nearly two years of total training experience and this being my third BJJ gym, I can confidently say Dan’s teaching and training methodology is truly exceptional. His structured approach ensures that techniques are thoroughly learned, often dedicating an entire week to specific positions like side control or mount. In contrast to other schools I’ve attended, which lacked organization in their instruction, this structured approach has significantly accelerated my learning. I earned my blue belt at my previous gym after 1.5 years of training. However, when I first started here, I questioned whether I truly deserved it. The level of talent at this gym is outstanding, and training with such skilled students has elevated my game far beyond my expectations. I cannot recommend this gym enough. It’s fun, safe, and fosters an incredible community. Whether you're just starting your journey or looking to advance your skills, this is the place to be. OSS!

I've been training with Daniel for over five years, and I highly recommend him. I first trained under him at another gym, which I loved, but when I heard he was opening his own BJJ academy, I followed him without hesitation. Whether you're a casual practitioner like me or a competitive athlete, Atom BJJ is an excellent place to train.
