My daughter and I both train here, and felt extremely welcomed from the moment we stepped into the gym. Coach Julio and coach Nil are both fantastic teachers, and ambassadors of the sport. There’s a great atmosphere in the gym, everyone is friendly and eager to share their knowledge. I’d highly recommend checking this gym out!

When it comes to jujitsu Binda’s Brazilian jujitsu is the only place to go! Julio and Nil are kind and gracious creating a welcoming atmosphere for everyone. They lead by example and encourage hard work, honor , and respect. Their coaching style is hands on and every student is well attended to and receives personal attention during the class. They teach and demonstrate various techniques with precision and excellence. My son has been attending only a short time and he has grown both physically and in confidence, he loves going and we couldn’t be happier.

I haven’t practiced BJJ in 8 years and almost forgot what it feels like to be in actual “fighting shape” or that “fight family” feeling. Although I am very new to the class, my name has already been remembered. I’ve gotten life lessons that I will take with me for the rest of my life and a better sense of security with myself. If you are looking for a place that can actually make a better you? Look no further.

My daughter and I have been training at Binda for over a year now. I have to say from the very beginning until current day, there has always been a culture of acceptance and positivity. Coach Julio and Coach Nil along with the other coaches do a phenomenal job with the children’s program. My daughter has learned so much and is always looking forward to her next class.As an adult I love training here. I feel I have great training partners and an atmosphere which makes it very easy to learn and immediately apply your lessons. I strongly recommend taking advantage of the free introductory classes...you will not regret it.

My 8 year old daughter does Jiu Jitsu here and the staff is amazing! They’re kind and disciplined, exactly what my daughter needs. Julio, Nil, and the other coaches take the extra time to help her with things she may not understand and give her extra explanations, she’s new so it’s nice she doesn’t feel discouraged. Coach Eric has taken the time to do really make sure she in confident and learns the moves while she practices. He’s also cheering for her and making her feel like she’s doing phenomenal. I went from a Kid who was nervous and skeptical if she’d like it, a kid who often tries to quit things within a week to a kid who walks out of every class smiling and telling me she loves it. Thanks for helping her love something!

We were first introduced to Binda Jiu Jitsu in January 2020. Our two children, aged 4 and 7, instantly loved training at the school. Coach Julio has created a program where students are able to understand and apply the techniques taught. Coach Nil is especially amazing working with the younger students and keeping them focused throughout the class. All of the instructors are extremely friendly and knowledgeable. The students are comfortable working with any of them. The level of commitment and passion for the sport is apparent and contagious.Coming from a different style of martial arts previously, our children found Binda Jiu Jitsu far more exciting and engaging. They beg to attend class more frequently throughout the week and even ask to practice at home on the days we don’t have class. As a parent I’m overjoyed that my children are so focused and invested in learning jiu jitsu rather than spending their free time on electronics. We cannot say enough about our incredible experience with Binda Jiu Jitsu. Coach Julio and Coach Nil make it a priority to connect with each and every student and family, which we feel is at the heart of their successful business.

I had been wanting to take Jiu Jitsu for sometime, after asking around several people recommended Binda Jiu Jitsu. From the moment you call and speak with them on the phone to the moment you walk into the academy you feel welcomed. Coach Julio and Nil truly make you feel like a member of their Jiu Jitsu family and I couldnt be happier with my decision. My only regret is I didnt join sooner. If you are thinking of trying the gentle art you could not ask for a more welcoming place, I can promise you wont regret it, I know I dont.

What a truly special place. Since the first day my daughter and I met Nil and Julio, it was as if we were welcomed into their family.They took my daughter in, nurtured her skills, empowered her, and challenged her to improve and do better. They did all this while maintaining an atmosphere infused in care, compassion for others, and love. I cannot help but to feel grateful to be a part of this family and, honestly, you would to! Come join us. You would be more than welcomed! Love - Anthony

Over the years, I have studied Karate, Kickboxing and Tae-Kwon-Do. Jiu Jitsu is an art everyone should not only study as a self defense mechanism but as a way of life. Professor Julio and his team of Instructors philosophize that way of life through his teachings. Professor Julios passion for BJJ is something to be desired. As his student, I understand the pledge and what it will take for the journey of becoming an astute BJJ expert. One day, I hope to stand as his equal. Binda Jiu Jitsu is an excellent school. The hardest step for most is walking in the door. Once you do that, youll see your journey unfold before you. Are you ready to walk the path?

I searched for a few years to find a program/sport that would provide my boys with a mixture of cardio, focus, and energy release. We tried everything. I asked around a lot. So on a whim, on a Sunday, I placed a call. Nil got back to me same day and told me to bring my boys down for the first week to try it out. No expectations, no pressure, just come down and see how it goes. I observed the instruction the first week. We signed up immediately. The growth I have seen in my children has been worth it. They are challenged every time they attend a class. Community is the word that best describes this program. I am excited to see where my boys go with this. I hope this is a lifelong journey for them. I plan on joining too. We are grateful to have the Binda family in our lives.

Julio makes sure you understand the curriculum that he is teaching. He identifies your weakness and turns them into strengths. He pushes you to the max, but also knows when you have nothing left in the tank to ease up. It’s a wonderful academy for family and great for kids. I look forward to my classes every week. If your looking to get into shape this is the place.

I have been with Binda Jiu Jitsu for slightly under a month now, and I have had a great experience so far. It is run professionally, while also providing a fun and competitive atmosphere.

Since starting Binda Jiu Jitsu it has been a new and exciting journey. As a college athlete with no prior background in Jiu Jitsu the workouts and training are up-tempo.

I started my search for a Jiu Jitsu gym just when Covid-19 had all gyms shut down. Julio Binda was mentioned many times when asking other practitioners for recommendations for a gym close to home.I reached out through facebook and Nil Binda kept in contact with me, keeping me informed of their reopening. I attended my first class and was very impressed.Julios students were respectful and disciplined. In one class I could recognize Julios great leadership skills and his ability to adapt to the level of the students when coaching them individually. After just one class I felt I wanted to be part of their team.I have been able to go a few nights a week for over a month now and I am grateful every time I have the opportunity to roll with him. His students are a great reflection of his knowledge of the art and his ability to pass that knowledge on to others.

I’ve been going for almost 3 weeks now and it’s been an amazing experience.If you come in with zero experience they will ease you into the sport. You can go at your own pace. The coaches are very supportive and you can ask them anything. Best of all everyone who goes there has a very family mentality. Everybody greats everybody start of class.10/10 would recommend!

As a child I trained in martial arts for many years and have always appreciated both the physical and mental training and discipline it provided me throughout my life. For the past year, my wife and I tried to find a martial arts school that was the right fit for our boys (5 & 8). After visiting several studios, we found Binda Jiu Jitsu and went in for a trial class. After just spending a few minutes with Julio and Nil, we knew this was going to be a good experience for our family. The boys have now been training there for several months. The coaching team is dedicated, caring and motivational. Julio and Nil go above and beyond to make sure all the students feel comfortable and confident. They truly care about every student and family. My boys respect the coaches and listen carefully to instruction and correction. The classes are a nice mix of both skills practice and live training, with strength training and some games as well. Both our boys are exhausted and proud of the work they put into each class. We are very happy to have found a great group of parents, kids and coaches for our family to be a part of. Thank you Binda Jiu Jitsu!

Review №38

After many years of experience in a standup martial arts style I decided just about a year ago that I wanted to try a grappling art and narrowed my choices down to a couple of local businesses. After a lot of research on the school, its affiliations and Coach Julios lineage, which many in the martial arts community find important, I chose Binda Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and I do not regret the choice. Coach Julio communicates well. His understanding and experience with the techniques, which are very complex show through his ability to explain the techniques simply. In the world of Japanese martial arts, the meaning of a technique is known as bunkai, and its quite clear that coach Julio has an firm grasp on the bunkai of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. The school environment is also friendly. Students are respectful to one another regardless of age or gender, and coach Julio makes sure that everyone practices safely to help ensure that everyone is learning and having fun. Ill also add that despite the interruption of the pandemic Coach Julio, Nil and the whole Binda staff have handled the entire situation with a high level of professionalism. Overall I am happy to have an awesome BJJ school in Haverhill owned by a local family.

I had been a little apprehensive about joining, but as I recently started Ive been enjoying it immensely. My husband and daughter had joined close to six years ago and they love it, and now we train as a whole family. I have a few injuries but physical fitness is a passion of mine, and I am loving jiujitsu! I felt accepted into their family and the energy is great on and off the mat. Everyone has been so supportive!

Binda Jiu Jitsu is top notch!We enrolled two of our children, ages 12 and 7, into the Binda Jiu Jitsu program and we saw immediate results. Our two kids became more confident in themselves and also in their ability to defend themselves. Not only has their confidence and self-esteem grown, but they have also become more focused and self-disciplined in other areas of their life (such as homework, nutrition, following rules, displaying good manners, etc). Julio and Nil push the students just hard enough to reach new levels every week, all while keeping the training highly engaging and fun for the kids. We are excited to see what our children will continue to achieve at Binda Jiu Jitsu and we strongly recommend Binda Jiu Jitsu to everyone we know.Great job Julio and Nil!

I am extremely happy with my decision to join Binda Jiu Jitsu. From the moment I walked in the door I knew this was the place for me. Julio and Nil Binda are great people and treat everyone like family. The team members and staff are very friendly and helpful, creating a positive learning environment. They offer a flexible class schedule in mornings and evenings so there is always time to train no matter how busy you are.Coach Binda is very knowledgeable in Jiu Jitsu and explains the techniques in a way that is easy to understand for all levels. He, as well as the higher belts, will walk around the mat to assure everyone is applying the technique properly and make corrections as needed. I am very impressed with my progress so far, and I am excited to see where my skill level is a year from now. If you are looking to train competitively or just looking to learn self-defense and improve your fitness level, this is the place for you!

I’ve always loved watching BJJ and at the age of 44; I tried my hand at it. Such a great group of people; from the coaches to the students. Everyone is patient and caring.

Highly recommend this BJJ school. Julio Binda is a high level black-belt competitor and a dedicated teacher, multiple classes are available 7 days a week for adults and kids, in a very clean and welcoming gym. Binda BJJ has a lot of practitioners of all levels, ages both male and females (which is always a good sign). Practice is very well structured and organized. A strong emphasis is made on teaching with a curriculum in place, the coach will guide you through the techniques and correct your errors. They also offer online videos to help you study at home or on the road. Rolling is done in a safe environment with welcoming students, higher belts guiding and advising you, allowing improvement while preventing injuries.

I’ve had the pleasure of training at this academy for almost 5 years now. I’ve loved it from the moment I walked in the door. Professor Binda has an incredible eye for detail and a vast, almost encyclopedic mind for technique. I’ve watch the school grow and improve so much in the time I’ve been there that the students coming in today are developing at a faster rate than ever.The environment is welcoming, non aggressive and we feel we are more than teammates, we are family. We learn, share, support and encourage one another and it all starts at the top with Professor Binda.

Review №53

I have been doing BJJ for a few months and I absolutely love training at Binda! Julio is a very knowledgeable coach who uses a great method for teaching his students. He will spend a week working on a specific guard/ position, and every day in fundamentals we learn a different sweep or submission in said position, which is a easy and great way to become familiar with learning new techniques. Julio also brings in other high level belts to help him demonstrate techniques as well as coach us while we are learning.I also feel a lot of people are hesitant to join BJJ clubs because they feel as though they will be roughed up by the other students, that is not the case here. The other students, and especially the higher belts, will understand if you are new to BJJ or grappling all together and let you set the pace when rolling. This allows you to practice techniques with resistance while also doing so in a comfortable manner without the risk of being injured or beat up.Overall it is a very accepting and friendly environment that is easy to make friends in as well as effectively learn BJJ. If you have any interest in BJJ at all, they offer a free week trial to any prospective members. I highly recommend and love training at Binda!

My youngest son has been training for the last 6 months with Coach Julio, Coach Nil and the coaching team. The coaches continuously encourage him to get stronger physically and mentally and to never give up. It has been a wonderful experience as a parent to see my son grow more confident in his ability to defend himself and exercise discipline and respect. In addition, you will feel welcomed by the staff and the other parents. I would recommend to any parent to encourage his/her child to try it! They will be amazed at what they can do!

My 5 year old daughter has been training at Binda Jiu Jitsu for almost 2 months now. We both absolutely love it!! The coaches are so welcoming, upbeat and always have a smile on their face. They take the time to talk to all the kids as well as the parents. When my daughter first started she was very shy as this was foreign territory for her. Coach Nil took time out to work with her one on one to make her feel more comfortable. This has made a huge impact on my daughter and got her to participate more and more every class. This type of stuff is not typical anywhere. They have a great understanding for kids and are very patient as well as caring. My daughter just earned her first stripe on her belt. She has not stopped talking about it all day. This has helped her confidence tremendously!! The curriculum is well planned out and all the coaches are knowledgeable in the art of BJJ! They make sure to add fun with games to break up the teachings of technique. This allows the kids to enjoy what they are learning a little more. If you have kids or want to train in BJJ this is the place to go!!!!

I started training at Binda Jiu Jitsu 5 months ago, and its been a great experience! Julio and Nil have created a wonderful, motivating environment that is very welcoming.

A completely unexpected benefit is that its FUN!Jiu jitsu is a great family activity, and is a great activity for kids, instilling concepts of participation, cooperation, discipline, perseverance, courtesy, integrity and teamwork.Whether youre looking for an awesome workout, trying to get in shape, or just focused on learning jiu jitsu, Binda Jiu Jitsu is well worth the visit, you wont be disappointed.

This place is the best!! From the moment we walked into Binda BJJ it felt right. Julio and Nil have a passion for this sport that exceeds most others. Sharing their knowledge and love for this growing sport is the priority in this school.The kids program has surpassed anything that I would expect for my son Mason.It has grown his confidence, self reliance and strength in all aspects of his life and it shows everyday. The details that the coaches use and the time they dedicate to each individual is incredible. They are understanding that everyone learns in a different way and they are always adapting their program to reflect this. A family friendly environment and absolutely the best decision I have made as a parent that needed to choose a sport for my son to grow with. This will be something that excels him through life. A good foundation sets you up for great success and I am happy to say that Binda Bjj is that foundation for our family.May greatness always bless you and your continued growth in this sport and life.We are Team Binda for life!

Eleven years ago, Coach Julio came to the karate school I was training at to teach us some Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. Since that time I have been blessed and honored to grow with the school from a few karate students learning from Julio after class to a fully functioning martial arts school with its own location. Brazilian Jiu Jitsu has helped me grow as a person, as a professional in my career, and as a martial artist. Coach Julio Binda and his family, along with all my training partners past and present, have truly made a home for me on the mats. Come down and try a class! There is room on the mats for you!

I’ve been a martial art practitioner most of my life and I have to say that I’ve never seen a gym and a group or people like this. The level of professionalism and dedication by Coach Julio and Coach Nil is second to none. They have taken my son and I in and made us part of the family. Flexible hours and open seven days a week helps with my work and life schedule tremendously. Family, save environment and the willingness to work with every student’s individual needs I’ve never seen before in any gym. Coach Julio is the mentor that I trust with my son and respect like non other. Coach will reach out when he sees that you are not attending classes to make sure you are ok and don’t need any. I mean who does that and person is what matters to Coach and not the financial. Coach thank you and you will have my loyalty for ever! Oss..

The self-confidence of my husband and two sons has definitely reached a level that I’ve never seen before, and I am proud to walk down the street with my secret weapons. :) As a mother, I could not be more indebted to a group of people who have improved the life of my family. It means everything to me.

More than just a place to learn Jit Jitsu. The Bindas are kind, loving and caring people who will treat you like family. You automatically feel a sense of community and acceptance. I highly recommend Binda BJJ for any child looking for something new. So happy my son has joined the community.

One day my fiancé convinced me to try Jiu Jitsu with him after work at Binda. I was tentative at first because it was something new, but it has turned out to be the best decision. I have been a student for about two months now and I can certainly say I have found a second home. Nil and Julio are such amazing people. Their studio not only provides a competitive atmosphere but it’s a place where strangers become a family. When I first started at Binda, I had a small amount of knowledge about this practice. Coach Julio and Nil both worked with me each step of the way ensuring that I understood each move. Although learning something new can be intimidating, Coach Julio and Nil certainly made it worth while. I look forward to each class and I highly encourage those looking to get into BJJ or just want to learn something new to give it a try!

I felt like I lost my inner fight. I just wasnt firing on all cylinders in my life and needed a jump start. I always had an interest in BJJ. However, I do not enjoy tight spaces and I sure do not like the thought of being choked out. One day I just decided to walk in the door and get some information. I was greeted by Julio and Nil Binda with a smile. I was then introduced to the way they do things and offered a free week to try it out at my pace. Besides the amazing work out I have been very pleased with the mental and physical challenge that BJJ offers. The respect that is shared and the humble attitude of everyone continues to draw me in each day. The coaches are amazing and the friendships are even better. Needless to say I am firing on all cylinders again and would recommend Binda BJJ to anyone who is considering. See you there!

Just over a year ago I was looking for something new in my life. Thats when I called Binda Jiu Jitsu.The man on the phone said, try a week for free, so I did, and Ive been going ever since. Brazilian jiu jitsu has changed my life in so many ways. From the fitness aspect, too discipline and commitment, you learn so much about yourself. Everyone there at the classes developes respect and support for each other.Coach Binda and his wife have created a welcoming and family oriented environment. They are both very grounded individuals, who have a great passion, for what they do. My only regret is, I wish I had done this years ago!Seriously, it has changed my life at 43, and only for the better. I could go on forever. But, I wont, Ill just say... ...try a week for free!

Having attended other BJJ gyms in NY and MA, I can confidently say the structure and experience of the Binda team is unrivaled. The meticulous instruction and coaching by the Binda team has helped me grow more confident in my training and helped my abilities grow significantly. Coach Julio and Nil provide a unique welcoming environment and they (and the rest of the team) genuinely make you feel like you’re part of a family. Im very lucky to have been able to join and highly recommend for anyone interested in learning Brazilian jiu jitzu!

We have been sending our son to Julio Binda BJJ for two years, starting when he was 4. This is not just BJJ, this is a big family of people who love jiu jitsu. My son has gone from being very shy around adults and peers, to a strong and confident little man. Plus he is learning self-defense, respect, and making so many wonderful friends. Both the kids and adults programs are great and the owners are so committed. I recommend it all the time to people and havent heard a single complaint.

When I brought my son here at the age of 5, I was looking for a place for him to exert energy, after 1 class he was hooked. Binda BJJ offers real life grappling techniques for all ages (escaping chokes, self defense, take downs...) The MOST important thing that Julio and Nil teach is compassion and respect for your training partners and opponents, which at a young age is tough to teach. I call Julio Binda the Mr. Miyagi of Jiu Jitsu! Now all 3 of my children and husband train at Binda BJJ. BJJ is a lifestyle, a family, a second home.

My preteen began Julio Bindas Brazilian Jui-jitsu classes over a year ago. As a Mom, I am extremely impressed and grateful for this experience. The studio is a place of warm energy and exceptence. My son has matured for the better as the months have passed. He is getting fit as well as becoming a more secure and peaceful individual. I must mention ALL of the Binda kids have a blast together!!!Thanks Julio and Nil 👍 😄

Aside from my faith and my family there has been very few things that have positively impacted my family more than JBJJ. We have been training together as a family for over 4 years, it is as exciting today as it was scary walking in day one.Nothing has influenced my kids in a more positive way than their training with Julio & Nil, this single fact and influence alone I consider a debt that I could never repay or even explain to someone who has never trained at their gym.It is 100% about attraction and not promotion , they have great teaching, unreal competion coaching and they are constantly bringing high caliber professional jui jitsu professionals into the gym so as to keep training always evolving and challenging. Julio gives his knowledge away freely for his people to learn, there really can be no better testament of a leader than one willing to share his skillset and talents for the betterment of his students.The training is as hard as you want or informative as you seek, all students are super helpful and kind, zero ego!As a coach Julio has a unique ability to push in a way that forces thought, that yeilds performance and action. It can be as simple as a look after rolling or him just calling my name ( that drags me back out after I feel out of gas) that gets me out there going at it again , bettering my training and technique even when tired, that is a leader of men( & woman) that is extremely rare and once found should be pursued at all cost.The benefits of JBJJ, have cascaded into my professional life as well. Owning my own business, I have found nothing else that removes the day to day pressures of being a business owner like my journey with Julio & Nil.My wife and I are i believe the oldest in the school ( keeps us young), to a degree we both believe our training there has added a benefit to our entire family that at this point 4 years later we cant possibly imagine life without JBJJ!Come roll, youll see!

This is the best jiu jit su academy, i started training in 2009 with coach Julio at the time the school wasnt big, it was like 7 other people and myself, a friend from work refered me to Julio, i was living like 45 minutes away and tried a few MMA gyms prior, as soon as i came in i said this is the place that i want to train, I was driving every day to train with him, Why? because at the moment that i walked in, i was part of a family and the way that Julio Teach makes every technique very easy to learn but not only that, he addopted me as another brother, and this is with every single person that walks in to his gym, him and Nil (his wife) are the greaters people in the entire world and i watched the academy grow from 7 guys in a little space to a big academy with close to a 100 students, and all of the grow that the team is having is because the dedication and the way that Nil and Julio treat his students and familes, i will say there is no other school like this out there and that is why i still trainnig here and i have to drive an hour plus to get here because i moved more up north, if i could give 100 stars review i will give 1000 starts, i recommend everyone to come over and train with us, come over you will see what i am talking about.

I did karate until I was eight years old and when I was around eight, I realized it wasn’t for me. At the last karate school I was a student at, the teacher introduced a little jiujitsu, and I absolutely loved it, so I moved on from karate and my parents found Julio Binda BJJ. Coach Binda and all the other coaches are awesome and so good with kids. The kids program is fantastic and the adult classes are great for beginners looking to try jiujitsu, people who have previously trained at other jiujitsu schools, and students that have moved through the ranks with Coach Binda, or in other words, they are good for everybody. I am so happy I found jiujitsu and this February will have been training for four years.

If you are looking to train Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, this is the place to go! The coaches are very experienced and passionate about the sport. They provide a safe and fun environment for all their students. They get along very well with children and have patience during class. If you join BINDA, youre not just putting together a great place to train, but youre also joining the family. They are the best coaches for both adults and children. Come and join the BINDA family. Im so happy and my kids love to train ...

Binda Brazilian Jiu Jitsu: It is with great satisfaction that I leave a testimony to this FAMILY. The reception of all staff is surprisingly, especially to coach JULIO BINDA and NIL BINDA !!! The work done with the children is of extreme competence and dedication, the results show this, with the athletes always in the top positions of the events taking part. Congratulations on your work and I thank God for having met you and thank you very much Julio Binda for the development of Icaro as an athlete and son because of you too.#FAMILIABINDABJJ#NOVACASA#FIVESTAR(I.e.

This is an excellent place to practice martial arts !!! The teacher is very professional, he has a lot of knowledge, experience, but above all he is very friendly. I cant even imagine training anywhere else. Because they have a family atmosphere here, you feel comfortable from the moment you enter the door and all the other students make you feel welcome. And they also have some of the best childrens programs in the area. I sincerely recommend anyone who wants to start practicing martial art, whether adult or child, to try this place and I personally guarantee that you will like your experience here.
