Wai Kru

"Been training here off and on for the last 14 years. Friendly people, competitive if you want, chill if you don’t. John the owner is a good guy and good coach."

"Joining Wai Kru was one of the best decisions I've ever made. Since day one, I have received nothing but top notch instruction. Instructors and members alike want you to succeed regardless of your experience level. They will work with you to unlock your fullest potential while keeping it safe and manageable. Classes include Muay Thai, BJJ, Judo, Wrestling, and MMA. Each one will give you an excellent workout and transform you into a fighting machine. Gym culture is excellent and everyone is warm, kind, and welcoming. You really feel a sense of community here. Would like to write more, but I’m about to head there to train."

"Been going to this gym with my teenage son for a few months. Tons of fun! Great people, atmosphere and coaching. We are both getting in shape and learning lots. Everyone is humble and friendly and it's been a great place for my son to learn from terrific role models."

"I love this gym! Great workout and very high quality training. They have all different classes for BJJ (gi and no gi, focus more on no gi), Muay Thai, Judo and MMA. I mostly do BJJ and the instruction is especially great. Kru John and Professor Elbert are both highly skilled and teach fundamentals and positional/wrestling style techniques. I was completely new to the sport when I started but I was able to win a grappling competition after just 2 months of training!! The entire team did extremely well. For me, it was completely due to the uniquely comprehensive instruction of the BJJ training that focuses on modern jiujitsu (which doesn't normally get taught ANYWHERE). Muay Thai is also very high quality instruction and the workouts are incredibly effective. Coach Dave is a beast, he is great at getting everyone to push themselves. Everyone just wants to help you get better but they also respect your limits. The entire gym community is wonderful though and it quickly becomes a familiar place for everyone who joins. It's a fun group!"

"Wai Kru is a very unique gym. The skill level is extremely high and the instruction is definitely top notch.. It's a super good place to start if you have never trained before. Classes run pretty much all day long and gym is open and available between classes. It's easy to get to from public transportation. From Harvard square to the gym only took me 15 min by bus. Sadly I left Boston after graduation but greatly appreciated my time at Wai kru"
