First of all I'm new to these forums, so hi.

With that said, I'm curious if anyone knows about and can recommend any grappling schools in the Boston area. Preferably the North Shore.

I've been training in the martial arts since I was very young, and in the last couple of years I've become very interested in MMA. I have a lot of experience in several different striking arts, but I have virtually no grappling experience. If anyone can help out, I'd appreciate it.

Hey fellow Bostonian...

The Boston area is home to many great schools...BJJ and muay thai...checkout massmma.com. At the top you will see a link for schools...

Dragon Within Martial Arts is in Salem, MA...on Canal st. across from dominos pizza

Brazilian Top Team is in Everett, MA

Kimura BJJ and Boston BJJ(Gracie Barra sponsored club) are in Newton, MA

Sityodtong is in Somerville, MA and there is another Brazilian Martial Arts club in Somerville...

umm Reality Self Defense is in Bridgewater, MA with Joe Lauzon

Boneyard fight club is in Taunton, MA

Kimura BJJ and Boston BJJ seem to be the best grappling clubs in the immediate boston area...but Strongo suggested another club in western mass but i can't remember the name...

Cheers...

Thanks for the info. I work in Salem, so I think I'll take a look at the Dragon Within and see what they've got. I drive by the place all the time, but I thought they just taught Kickboxing. I'm glad I was wrong.
