From the reviews
Fantastic! I have trained here for years and I have learned more than I could have ever dreamed. I used to think karate was just a bunch of punches and "karate chops", but it is so much more.
Northeastern Jujitsu is a great place to train bjj. The instructor Richie is amazing teacher and very knowledgeable about bjj. The people that all go there are very nice and friendly. It’s a fun place to train.
I've been training off and on at this location for 23 years. I've known Chuck the entire time. He bought the school from our original instructor, Paul Marsh. It looks nothing like it originally did when I was 13. Both constantly put money back into the school to improve it.
My son has been going to karate, kickboxing & boxing here for over a year & a half & he Loves it! Sensai Chuck is so great with the kids & a wonderful role model. My son was welcomed in with open arms from the very first day. They took their time to work with him one on one to catch him up to speed.
New to kickboxing? Start at Northeastern Ju Jitsu
Northeastern Ju Jitsu comes up as a beginner-friendly gym, going by their listing and members’ reviews. If you've never thrown a punch or a kick, that's exactly who a good beginners class is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit or coordinated to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and coaches scale every drill to you. Second, you won't be thrown into hard sparring — reputable gyms build the basics (stance, footwork, and punches and kicks on pads and bags) first, and any contact eases in gradually under a coach's control. Third, all fitness levels really are welcome — ask about a dedicated beginners or fundamentals class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out. Most gyms are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
Your first kickboxing class at Northeastern Ju Jitsu
Nervous about walking into a kickboxing gym for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good coaches expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling the basics — stance, footwork, and punches and kicks on pads or a heavy bag — not hard sparring. Go at your own pace and rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: comfortable athletic clothes you can move and sweat in, and supportive trainers. What to bring: water, and hand wraps and gloves if you have them — many gyms lend loaner gloves for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gloves and wraps (and shin guards once you start sparring). Sparring is optional and eases in gradually, once your basics are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the coach. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
