Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) is a martial art and combat sport that focuses on grappling and ground fighting with the goal of gaining a dominant position. It uses joint-locks and choke holds to force an opponent to submit. Today, BJJ is practiced for fun, self-defense or sport by hobbyists, professional fighters, military, and law enforcement alike.

"Since I have known Dennis, I have noticed an extraordinary ability in
him to learn and perform the technical aspects needed in Brazilian
Jiu-Jitsu. In addition to his ability to learn, he is exceptional in
the way he is able to adapt the technique to fit the way he teaches his
students in both BJJ and MMA. Dennis' good instruction definitely
shows through his students quality performance whom I have certified
personally."

We pride ourselves on having a family environment at our academy.
Our academy has classes for the entire family. Even family members that don't train at our school come and support our team.
I am 42 years old, married with three young children. I have been learning Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ) at Dragon Within Martial Arts since January 2006. As a sport, BJJ is a great way to develop conditioning, flexibility and strength. As a martial art, BJJ is a practical and effective method of self-defense. Aside from the physical benefits, the classes are a great way to get rid of stress.
I work as a portfolio manager in Boston and given my busy work and travel schedule it is important that there are plenty of opportunities to take classes during the week. In addition I have been able to take advantage of one-on-one classes with instructor Dennis as well as attending the seminars held at the gym by Dennis’s instructors.
I enjoy the friendly and relaxed training environment and the instructors create a positive atmosphere for self-development. Ultimately this is a fun and rewarding activity. I thoroughly recommend it to anyone who enjoys a physical challenge.

I have always been active in athletics. I run, lift weights, and play basketball and lacrosse on occasion. Even with all that I was getting bored and frustrated with my workout routine. I had always loved martial arts and I earned a black belt in Tae Kwon Do as a kid. I found DWMMA and decided to take a trial week. I was hooked instantly! I started with only Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu but have since grown into boxing and MMA as well. I find that it's an amazing workout and overall experience. The gym is clean and well outfitted with a large mat space, boxing ring, section of cage and numerous bags. The instruction is top notch. Dennis, Mike and Alan are all in sync as instructors yet each brings a unique style to their lessons.
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu might seem intimidating for a female however at DWMMA it is not. You are only pushed to your limit to maintain a safe workout. Everyone there, instructor and student alike, are there to help one another build their knowledge. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is an amazing workout, which I would recommend to anyone, male or female, looking to get in shape!
