From the reviews

BTT Jiu-Jitsu is an exceptional academy! My 11-year-old absolutely loves training here. The environment is incredibly positive and respectful, fostering a strong sense of community. The instructors are highly skilled and patient, making learning fun and accessible for all levels.

★★★★★ — Crypto, Jan 2025

I had a fundamental shift in the way I understood Jiu Jitsu and my abilities since joining BTT Boston many years ago. The professors and training partners are world class and the head instructor, Professor Daniel, is one of the pioneers of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu in New England teaching here for over 20 years.

★★★★★ — Andrea, Mar 2024

I want to give my thanks to all the coaches and professors, their instinct and insight is truly one of a kind. During my first competition I was having doubts, I didn’t really believe in myself. And my coach, Levi looked me right in the eyes and said I was going to crush it. I ended up winning gold.

★★★★★ — Taj, Apr 2025

Best group of guys and gals around and the instructors are second to none. Very competitive ( they teach but also compete at a very high level) and make it challenging and fun at the same time. I’ve got life events I’m going though, but look forward to returning.

★★★★★ — Kenneth, Feb 2022

New to judo? Start at BTT Boston - Brazilian Top Team Boston

BTT Boston - Brazilian Top Team Boston comes up as a beginner-friendly dojo — noted on their own site. If you've never stepped on a mat, that's exactly who a good beginners program is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit or flexible to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and sensei scale the intensity to you. Second, you'll start by learning to fall safely (ukemi) — reputable dojos build fundamentals (breakfalls, grips, a first throw and some groundwork) for weeks, live randori eases in gradually, and tapping early keeps everyone safe. Third, all levels really are welcome — ask about a dedicated beginners class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out, and remember to bow in and show respect (rei). Most dojos are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.

Your first judo class at BTT Boston - Brazilian Top Team Boston

Nervous about walking into a judo dojo for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good sensei expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, learning to fall safely (ukemi), then drilling a throw or two and some groundwork with a partner — not hard randori. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: athletic wear you can move in (or a judogi if you have one); you'll train barefoot on the mats. What to bring: water and a mouthguard if you have one — many dojos lend a loaner judogi for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own judogi. Live randori eases in gradually, once your fundamentals are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the sensei. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.

Judo is a contact sport. Ease in, tap early and often, listen to your sensei, and if you have any injuries or health concerns, mention them before class and check with a doctor if you're unsure.
