I cannot recommend Versus Jiu-Jitsu enough. Professor Rodrigo gives clear and explicit instructions…read moreand ensures all students understand each position before moving on. I have been training at Versus for over a year now and have seen such a progression in my jiu-jitsu and my all-around fitness level. In addition, Versus attracts a great group of students from a wide variety of backgrounds where everyone feels welcome. I particularly love the early bird classes.

My 10 yo daughter has been attending Versus Jiu Jitsu for about two months. She was very…read moreintimidated at first, but Rodrigo made her feel at home. The other kids have been very welcoming. The higher ranked belts know to take it easy on the lower ranks. Professor Rodrigo's style is a great combination of nurturing and demanding. He expects respect and teaches the kids to be respectful while teaching Jiu jitsu. My daughter has grappled with both boys and girls and is gaining so much confidence from it. Can't say enough good things. The price is reasonable as well!!!

Natick is extremely lucky to have such a skilled teacher and practitioner as Justin. His positive…read moreenergy and welcoming attitude along with detailed instruction create a perfect environment for learning and growing. If you're on the fence about trying something new like jiu jitsu, you couldn't ask for a safer more welcoming, kind and patient place than Bay State Jiu Jitsu. This is both because of Justin's approach to teaching and running his school and because of all of his students and the community he fosters through his leadership. I've been fortunate enough to train at 6 gyms or so in my ~4 years training, so I have a little experience seeing how different schools operate. My experience at Bay State BJJ was so fun, positive and humbling I had to share it here. Definitely check them out if you have the chance.

I went to train while visiting from South Carolina. I couldn't have found a more welcoming group…read more Great details and instruction and great rolls.

This place is awful. First of all this place is always dirty. Second the owner, Hugo Leite, is not…read moreprofessional at all. He talks bad things about every single person that is on his academy. He doesn't follow HIPAA, and that is against the law. So if u want to train jiu jitsu, go anywhere but not there. U are just going to spend money and time. He doesn't care about any of the students overthere. He moved to Florida and left that academy on her daughter's hand that is not even a black belt. So in simple words, don't waste your time. It is not worth it.

After 30 Check-Ins on Yelp.. I think I can finally leave a review here!…read moreI won't lie, moving to Natick to live and work right after college was tough. After work and with no car yet, I find myself stuck in my apartment with nothing to do and no nearby gym to go to for a workout. I am not the most sports-lovin' person, but I love attending kickboxing classes here! The instructors are all incredibly friendly and good, and even if you can't do a specific move there is always modifications available. It's an hour long and the first 10 minutes is usually the toughest - they make it fun! Classes switch up each week, working on different parts of your body. There are multiple class times available each day, which makes it really convenient if you miss your usual class - you can just join another! I usually go for the evening classes which have about 10-15 people, and starts off with around 20% bag work, and more circuit trainings/sets afterwards. Outside of the awesome workout itself, the studio is like a little Natick community.. lots of cute kids coming in for Jiu Jitsu, HIIT Kickboxers, parents waiting for their kids etc. I'm glad I found it!

Got this from groupon. This place isn't bad for a fitness class. It's just OK in my opinion…read more PROS: -multiple class times, at varying times -good workout CONS: -no place to change -no place to get water but the bathroom sink -built in with a martial arts studio, so there are children everywhere -no commoradrie amongst fellow class goers -they have no adults running the counters. They all appear to be teenagers, so they don't have customer service one could hope for. -they're a little extreme with their shoe policy. You can't wear shoes from the outside inside, and prepare to have one of the teenagers tell you off. If you're like me and accidentally wear them into the parking lot to grab something from you car, prepare to take them off and do the workout barefoot. So, take what you will from it!
