Gracie Barra Newton - Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in Newton

It had been many years since my reentry into rolling, of which I have had relatively little experience in action, and more so in consideration and reflection. Upon entering the Gracie Barra studio of Morgan Hill, I found an organism of an environment. Upwards of 25 children rolling inside of a prestine and Wildy energetic ambience of containment. The students, individually entrigued and inspiring ti the many, many parents attending in support and learning. I was provides excellent service from the front desk attended, who’s entire family also practiced. I was provided excellent service with warmth and aspiration as well as trial gear to attend my free trial. The locker rooms were clear and sophisticated, as were the restrooms. The art, tastefully displayed, the Matt’s in perfect condition. The music was well placed, and played with appropriate volume. A friend attended with me, which was an amazing addition to the experience. He was treated in kind. The professor met us promptly and took extra care to delegate exercises to meet our level of comprehensive, as the other GB1 students were further advanced. The professor’s navigated chi, supremely, Spoke with direction and patience, and roll with each of us independently as well, which felt as safe and familiar as it did with my friend. The workout was invigorating, challenging, and reinforcing a love for learning something new and difficult. As also, did it, support the understanding that this is a hydrating design for discipline. After changing and returning the rash guard I was reseated and aptly informed of the changes we could incorporate into the future of my practice. The terms were well presented, as was the same heart. I would, ti say the least recommend this experience. And certainly hope to repeat. Thank you, personally. Sincerely, Hawley Proctor The terms were well

I feel privileged to bring my kids to this incredible Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu gym in Newton. The atmosphere is professional and positive, and Professor Alex, a five-time world champion, is not only an amazing trainer but also a devoted and humble person. He instills discipline and confidence in the kids while creating a truly supportive environment. I highly recommend this gym for anyone seeking growth and respect in martial arts. Thank you, Professor Alex, for all you do!

Top notch place!! The environment was welcoming and clean. The instructor was great!! Very patient, friendly, and easy to follow the training. As a beginner I always felt intimidaded to show up, but the staff made me feel at ease with encouragement and support. I highly recommend!!

I considered myself very lucky to have attended a seminar Professor Alex taught at Gracie Barra Boston a couple of years ago. I never forgot how to execute his single leg takedown to armbar - he taught it so well. When he opened a school in Newton, I was eager to join. Professor Ashley, the rare female black belt and champion, elevates attending Gracie Barra Newton to hitting the Jiu Jitsu lottery.

Grace Barra Newton – A Truly Exceptional Experience! I was absolutely blown away by this Jiu-Jitsu academy in Newton! I attended a free introductory class, and I was left speechless by the quality of the instructors, the welcoming atmosphere, and the incredible structure of the facility. Everything about this place is top-notch! I didn’t hesitate to sign up, and I’m excited to embark on this journey, not just to learn Jiu-Jitsu but to embrace a whole new way of life. Training here is already boosting my self-esteem, and I highly recommend Grace Barra Newton to anyone looking for a world-class martial arts experience. Five stars all the way! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Showed up to noon class as a total novice 58 year old. The excellence of the teaching, warmth and community were immediately apparent. Excited to study with Professor Alex and Professor Ashley are kind, patient, enthusiastic and welcoming and are highly experienced practitioners.

I bring my two nephews to Gracie Barra Newton for Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu classes about once or twice a week. The gym is very clean and has a great vibe. It’s obvious the owners take tremendous pride in their space and have put a lot of care into making it a positive environment. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, which was a huge relief since my nephews were a little nervous at first. Now, they can’t wait for class every week! The instructors are absolutely top-notch. They strike the perfect balance between firmness and understanding. They teach real techniques in a way that’s easy for kids to grasp. What stands out most is how genuine Alex and Ashley are—you can tell they truly care about helping these kids succeed. My nephews are actually learning valuable skills in class instead of just playing games and running around. Sure, there are days I have to drag them through the door, but the moment they hit the mats, they’re all smiles and full of enthusiasm. Another thing I absolutely love about Gracie Barra Newton is the family atmosphere. The instructors are a married couple, and their kids are always nearby—training, playing, or just hanging out in the kid area (the lobby has a kid-sized table with crayons, toys, etc.). All in all, this is a fantastic martial arts academy in Newton that I highly recommend. Whether you’re looking for a place for your kids or yourself, you won’t be disappointed. Gracie Barra Newton is truly a gem!

We took our 5 year old daughter to a trial class last weekend. She has done her share of dance, gymnastics, and sports classes to see what interested her. This was the perfect mix of everything! Fast paced to keep her interested, working with a partner and building cooperation skills, contact in a safe and controlled environment. She was smiling the entire time and can't wait to go back. Having a female instructor is also amazing, so she can see herself mirrored in this sport! Thrilled they opened in such a convenient location for us, and looking forward to watching her grow in BJJ.
