Went in for my first class this week. Everyone I met from instructors to members were extremely welcoming. Very impressed with the facility and professionalism that I saw. Was unsure at 52 years old if this was a good idea, but after meeting other members was excited to get started.

I was really surprised and impressed entering seeing a dojo with striking training combined with Jujutsu. I wanted to broaden my daughter’s martial art training by having her work in jujutsu. The welcoming was professional and amazing. They took her in with open arms and she left there smiling and excited.

Great classes, both Kickboxing and BJJ. Instructors are knowledgeable and involved during the classes. Friendly staff and participants, no egos, everyone is there to learn and get a good workout.

Family friendly atmosphere and extremely welcoming. I did not feel like a new guy in my intro class. Respect was given to all and no egos. Signed up on the spot.

I’ve been to quite a few combat gyms and this is among the best. Between the vast knowledge to be shared by professors and coaches to the way they make you feel like family. Gym is also great size and is maintained very well. I appreciate the hospitality and highly recommend.

We attend the one in Fairhaven and we absolutely love it! The instructors are patient, educational and my son has a great time! The instructors finish each class with a quick 5 minute game and the kids walk out with smiles! 10/10!

My husband and I just signed our three-year-old daughter up for jujitsu here and, so far, we have had a great experience! Sonya, who works at the desk, was so kind and helpful when it came to the registration process and giving us a tour of the facility. Alyssa, who did my daughter’s trial on the first day and worked with her during her first class, was so patient and great at giving directions in a way that is easy for a three-year-old to understand. We look forward to seeing all that they help our daughter learn!

Classroom setting. Fast paced enough to keep your attention and not too fast where you forget what you are doing.

My 3 year old had his first class and didn't want to leave! My fiance and I have put him in many different sports and Jiu Jitsu has been the only one he has had a smile and engaged in the entire time! We are only one class in but I would definitely recommend! I also want to say that the staff their is absolutely amazing!

I've been with Danny Saverys Brazilian jiu-jitsu for about three years and I couldn't have asked for a better academy to train in. I can honestly say Danny Savery is one of the best coaches in all of New England. The love he has towards teaching Brazilian jiu-jitsu is amazing to witness. If you have any questions, concerns, need advice, or just someone to talk too, Danny is the perfect person. I've learned so much from him over the years. The team at Danny Saverys BJJ are the best. All the coach's are amazing, they each have their own style of teaching and you learn so much from them. From Brazilian jiu-jitsu too kickboxing or MMA this academy has everything you need and all the right people to teach it to you. Even the little ones can come and have a blast here. Here at Danny Saverys you don't just make friends you gain a family. Everyone there looks out for one another, cares about each other, and are inspired to help one another. For me I've always been and still am very shy and insecure around people, especially in anything physical. Being a big guy I was scared that people were going to look at me differently, not want to work with me, or take advantage of me during my first weeks of classes. I couldnt have been any more wrong, I was welcomed in by everyone didn't matter the belt level, they all welcomed me in like family. This broke me out of the shell I put myself in and I became more confident in myself mentally and physically. I can still remember my first day walking into the old gym not knowing anything about Jiu-jitsu. Going behind the wall and having Danny Jr demonstrate three basic techniques. Right after that I fell in love with Brazilian jiu-jitsu and knew this was the perfect academy for me. Fast forward to today I see these new students come in on there first day and experience the same feelings I had back on my first day. If you want to find a second family and also learn some amazing skills and techniques, Danny Saverys BJJ is the most perfect fit for you.

I signed up my daughter for classes here in November, and we love it! It's nice to see a business owner so present and invested. Sarah was amazing and answered all of my many questions when we were signing up. Everyone here is friendly and helpful, and they genuinely care about the students in class. The staff have such impressive patience and discipline to keep all these kids focused during each lesson, not to mention great enthusiasm and technique demonstration. My daughter has learned so much already, and we can already see positive changes off the mat, too! ;) It's a great community, and everything has been top-notch so far. I cannot recommend Danny Savery and his team enough! Thank you!

I wanted to get on here and update my initial review. I’ve been training here for almost two years now. I’ve learned so much since first reviewing, and it’s truly been like a second home for me. I’ve made great friends, had fantastic conversations, and look forward to it every time I go. It’s absolutely worth the cost, and has given me so much more than I thought it could. I absolutely love it here. The teammates are fantastic, and the coaching is extraordinary. Even more than before, I highly recommend.

Initial Review:
I’ve only been going here for about a month now, but I absolutely love it. Everyone is so friendly, and the instructors are very knowledgeable. Even though some people are training for competitions, there’s no “I’m better than you” attitude, and everyone is helpful to the newbies. I started to simply lose weight, but I’ve already learned a lot and thoroughly enjoy my time here. They do an introductory class so you can see if it’s right for you without outright joining. They offer a range of classes that fit everyone, and you can mix it up if you like. Highly recommend

Great gym atmosphere, family and team oriented. Everyone is friendly and willing to help. I’ve been a member for over ten years and haven’t thought about leaving. They offer classes 7 days a week morning noon and nights to accommodate all types of schedules. Danny has been a great coach mentor and friend whose been a big influence on me. I highly recommend stopping in and taking an intro class to see if it’s something you would enjoy

I've been a member of DSBJJ since 2010. The training and attention to detail from Danny and the other instructors is top notch. The training environment is clean, friendly, and respectful of all students. Come and train with us, get in shape, learn a new skill set, make some new friends. See you on the mats!

Why Train Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu? Because It’s FUN!

Why Train Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu? Because It’s FUN!

Discover Why Adults, Kids, and Families Love Training at Danny Savery Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Academy

Why should you train Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu? Because it’s FUN!

Sure, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is an incredible way to get in shape, learn self-defense, improve confidence, and challenge yourself physically and mentally.

But there’s something else that makes Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu special.

It’s one of the most enjoyable activities you can do, regardless of your age, experience, or fitness level!

At Danny Savery Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Academy, we believe the best workout is one you actually look forward to.

With three full-time martial arts academies in Somerset, MA, Fairhaven, MA, and Bristol, RI, we’re helping adults, kids, and families discover that getting healthier, learning new skills, and making friends can be an exciting experience.

And here’s the best part: You don’t have to know anything about Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu to get started!

1. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Makes Exercise FUN Again!

Let’s face it. Not everyone enjoys running on a treadmill, lifting weights, or doing the same workout day after day.

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is different!

Every class brings something new.

One day, you’re learning how to escape a difficult position. The next, you’re discovering a technique that makes you think, “Wow! I can’t believe that actually works!”

You get an incredible full-body workout without constantly thinking about how many calories you’re burning or how much time is left.

You’re too busy learning, moving, laughing, and enjoying yourself!

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu combines physical fitness with problem-solving, making every class both a workout and a new adventure.

2. It’s Like a Game of Physical Chess!

One of the most exciting things about Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is that there’s always something new to learn.

Think of it like solving a puzzle.

Every technique presents a challenge. Every training partner moves differently. Every class gives you another opportunity to improve.

And when you finally execute a technique you’ve been practicing?

That’s an awesome feeling!

Whether you’re 8 years old or 58 years old, there’s something incredibly satisfying about learning a new skill and seeing yourself get better.

You don’t have to be the strongest, fastest, or most athletic person in the room to enjoy Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.

You just have to be willing to learn and have some fun along the way!

3. You’ll Make Friends While Learning Something Amazing!

Ask experienced Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu students what they love most about training, and many will tell you it’s the people.

There’s something special about stepping onto the mats with a group of people who share your enthusiasm.

You train together. You challenge each other. You help each other improve.

And yes, you laugh together!

At Danny Savery Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Academy, we believe a welcoming, supportive atmosphere makes all the difference.

Our students come from different backgrounds, professions, and age groups, but they share something in common.

They enjoy training and being part of a team!

For many students, the academy becomes more than just a place to exercise. It’s somewhere they look forward to going after work, school, or a busy day.

4. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Is FUN for Beginners, Too!

One of the biggest misconceptions about Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is that you need to be in great shape or have martial arts experience before joining.

You don’t!

At Danny Savery Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Academy, we welcome complete beginners.

Our experienced instructors help new students learn the fundamentals in a structured, encouraging training environment.

You won’t be expected to know techniques before you arrive.

Our goal is to help you feel comfortable, build confidence, and enjoy the learning process.

Maybe you’re looking for a new hobby.

Maybe you’re tired of your regular gym routine.

Or maybe you’ve always wanted to try martial arts but never knew where to start.

Whatever your reason, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu might become your new favorite activity!

5. Kids Love Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Because Learning Is FUN!

Parents often search for activities that will help their children stay active, make friends, develop confidence, and learn discipline.

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu offers all of those opportunities.

But here’s what makes it special.

Kids have FUN while they’re learning!

Our youth Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu programs introduce children to martial arts through age-appropriate instruction, movement, skill development, and positive challenges.

Children learn how to work with others, overcome obstacles, and recognize their progress.

Along the way, they’re developing coordination, confidence, and important life skills.

At Danny Savery Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Academy, we offer programs for young children, older kids, and teens.

Our goal is simple: Help children enjoy martial arts while developing skills that can benefit them both on and off the mats.

6. Every Class Gives You Something to Look Forward To!

Imagine finishing a long day at work.

You’re tired. You’re stressed. You have a hundred things on your mind.

Then you step onto the mats.

Suddenly, you’re focused on learning something new, practicing techniques, and enjoying the experience with your teammates.

For many students, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu becomes one of the best parts of their day.

Training can provide a positive outlet for stress while giving you something challenging and rewarding to focus on.

And unlike some activities, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu offers endless opportunities to learn and improve.

There’s always another technique to master, another challenge to overcome, and another reason to come back tomorrow!
