Good BJJ Schools in Boston - 03/13/08 10:10 AM

Hey I currently train in a Zen 'way' martial art and I've been toying with the idea of complimenting it with BJJ for a more immediately practical approach to self-defense on the streets. I still go to southie with my buddies and find many a drunken irishmen lookin to let off steam and would prefer to have some preparation vs. trying to box like an idiot.

So... any of you guys train in Boston? I am most concerned with the quality of teaching and attention to detail. Any suggestions where I could check out?

Also I don't have a car so it would have to be T accessible. Thanks

What part of Boston do you live in? If you tell me what neighborhood, I'll point you to a local gym.

I live in Jamaica Plain, and I have a pretty decent lay of the land.
