From the reviews
This is a great BJJ school! Nice open mat space, locker rooms, fitness equipment, bags, and a super welcoming environment. If you’re liking to get into BJJ, or are trying to drop in to a class while traveling this is a great place to be.
This place is really awesome. I have been going here for muay thai and my 5 yo goes for jiu jitsu for the last 3months. I had trained with Coach Jimmy, Melissa, Nuri and they are all amazing coaches.
I highly recommend Boston BJJ Woburn to everyone from beginners looking to learn the art for self-defense to black belts preparing for their next competition. Head professor Jimmy DelOrfano's versatile teaching style, consummate professionalism, and intense passion for the sport make him one of the best in the…
Shoutout to the 6AM morning crew at Boston BJJ! The energy is nothing but positive, the gym is spotless, and the coaches (Tom, Vince, and Jake) bring a systematic approach to teaching - effective for every belt level.
New to muay thai? Start at Boston Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Academy Woburn
Boston Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Academy Woburn comes up as a beginner-friendly gym — noted on their own site. If you've never thrown a punch or a kick, 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 to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and coaches scale the conditioning to you. Second, you won't be thrown into sparring — reputable gyms build fundamentals (stance, footwork, and the basic strikes of the "art of eight limbs") for weeks before any contact, and sparring stays optional. Third, all levels really are welcome — ask about a dedicated beginners or fundamentals class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out. Most gyms are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
Your first muay thai class at Boston Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Academy Woburn
Nervous about walking into a muay thai gym for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good coaches expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling the basics on pads and bags — not fighting. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: shorts or athletic wear and a t-shirt; you'll train barefoot on the mats. What to bring: water and hand wraps if you have them — many gyms lend gloves for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gloves, wraps, a mouthguard, and shin guards. Sparring is optional and comes later, once your fundamentals are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the coach. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
