OUR STORY

It starts with three families and strong friendships. United by a shared passion for improvement and helping others, these families all found the same dream at the right time. Through the struggles of parenthood, the desire for connection, a love for the sport, and a realization of the good that comes from Jiu Jitsu and Yoga, they saw an opportunity to share it with even more people. They saw how it could make the South Shore community 1% better. It also became clear that these families had the will and unwavering ability to do what needed to be done to make that dream a reality. They envisioned a high-quality Brazilian Jiu Jitsu school complemented by Muay Thai, Yoga, Barre, Fitness, and Enrichment classes in a welcoming environment where everyone contributed to the success of everyone. After more than a few serendipitous events, the idea of building KAIZEN was born, and a beautiful facility that seemed perfectly built for this project became available. 

KAIZEN is that unified dream come to life. This team is passionate about creating a best-in-class experience for members and instructors with classes that challenge students to find their edge, play in it, and become a 1% better version of themselves in a welcoming, fun, and inspiring community of people who seek to live their best lives together. It’s all about family and friendship and where the lines between the two start to blur.
