Boston BJJ (GBB) is the best place I've ever trained BJJ. The students are all very friendly, no one is trying to rip your head off like an olympic style match while training, the instructors are extremely patient and knowledgeable, and the location is convenient. Oh, not to mention they have classes on all aspects of fighting and training. THIS is the school to learn the real deal! I'm glad to be able to train at BBJJ!

This is an opportunity for me to thank Roberto for all his hard work over the years. I hope he still gets a lot of pleasure out of seeing us grow and knowing he changed our lives for the better. I miss the old days up there, and of course, all my old rolling buddies. And those experiences will never fade from my mind. As I build a school of my own, and train my own students and make new friends - I'm always trying hard to instill the vitality, and camaradarie so important to the spirit of the institution. Thank you, Roberto, and thanks to all the guys who've helped me get better through kicking my butt! :)
