I've been training Royce Gracie Jiu Jitsu in Boston ever since the school expanded here. Since that time my life has moved in a positive direction in more ways that one. I largely attribute this to my jiu jitsu training, partners, and instructors. I have found that Royce Gracie Jiu Jitsu has refueled my innate willingness to learn and rejuvenated my competitive spirit. Most importantly Royce Gracie Jiu Jitsu has genuinely enhanced my general well-being (albeit an occasional break from the old lady at home). I have found the instructors to provide a perfect balance of technical instruction, a competitive yet controlled environment, and personal motivation all in one. I have the utmost respect for my instructors and would recommend Royce Gracie Jiu Jitsu to anyone looking to supplement their lifestyle with something special. -Mike Zolla

When I first considered starting jiujitsu, I remember being intimidated by the idea. I had wrestled in the past but I had almost no martial arts experience. Jiujitsu, from what I had seen from watching MMA, seemed to be violent and aggressive. I guess I was concerned that I would get beat up, hurt or imbarrassed. Paul Bratslavsky was the first person I meet and, within a few minutes, all of those concerns were gone. We went over my experience and what I was looking to accomplish, then we went to work. The first few classes were a little uncomfortable and it took a while to get a feel for it but I was always encouraged. I innitionally just wanted to lose some weight and try something new but I grew to really love the sport. I did lose about 35 pounds but that is really just a byproduct of finding something that I really enjoy doing. Now, almost two years later, I often compete in tournaments and I feel confident that jiujitsu will be a part of my life for a long time to come. Paul's encouragement, teaching style and skill are, without question, why I feel so strongly about the sport. I recommend Royce Gracie MMA to anyone who is interested in learning authentic jiujitsu in a safe, fun and ego free environment. - M. Montgomery
