Soneca has created an incredible studio and environment here in Marlborough. If you're looking to…read morelearn Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, it doesn't get any more authentic than this. Everything is brand new, clean and well kept. Unbelievably lucky to find Soneca's 12 - 1 PM class with personal instruction from the man himself. I'm there both Wednesday, and Friday, so if you see a white belt running around, that's me. Highly recommend for anyone who wants to improve their mental, physical, business and life game. And, of course, learn to defend yourself and your family. No art is better for all those mentioned above. It's all about finding the right studio and Coach. Soneca BJJ will change your life. P.S. New location is 60 Mechanic St. by old State Armory--might be easier to navigate, and park in the back entrance beside armory at 358 Lincoln St.

What I like best about his training style is that he is much involved when your off the mat as he is when your on the mat.

Most importantly he has that attitude that cultivates success for those who want to learn. It's worth a visit to see what the gym has to offer!

Top-notch BJJ training environment for the gi and no-gi with very welcoming instructors and classmates! Nate and Scot were both phenomenal and lighthearted instructors that took their time to really explain techniques, positions, and their decision making process. The most defining characteristics that stuck out to me was how down-to-earth and goofy Nate and Scot were during all classes. It makes you feel at ease and relaxed. No ego at all. Don't get me wrong -- they will absolutely destroy you during the advanced classes, but it was fun having the chance to roll with both of them and feeling the huge difference in skill level. All the classmates there are friendly, too! If you go to the non-fundamental classes, you'll have a great time rolling with the upper belts. The competition team was fantastic with Luis and Josh leading the way. Competition training was always fun and intense, but never out of control. Special thank you to Luis and Josh for taking time out of their weekends to come coach during competitions! You'll have a solid competition team to go compete with. If you have the chance to learn from Pat and Nick during the weekend classes, I would highly recommend it! Learning from these two high level black belts is always a good time. If you get a chance to roll with them, even better! Be prepared to be effortlessly destroyed by them. Only has a couple chances to learn from Ed before I left, but he was awesome!! 10/10 would recommend this place. I miss this academy and everyone in it! You'll love going here -- trust me! Thank you to Nate, Scot, Pat, Luis, Josh, Ed and Nick!!!
