Renzo Gracie Nh

Visiting from California & found a gem. Professor Kevin is a master of BJJ with a deep understanding of perfect technique. He welcomed me with open arms & his team is just as friendly. If you want a true BJJ academy, this is the place to go. It’s now my BJJ home away from my BJJ home. Thank you Professor for sharing your wealth of experience.

I started training jiu-​jitsu almost 10 years ago. In those 10 years, I’ve had the pleasure of meeting quite a few very good instructors. All that said, when it comes to knowledge of the art, Kevin is elite. That’s not an exaggeration… he’s unbelievable. When it comes to LOVE of the sport, he is one in a million. In fact, it is hard for me to believe that there is anyone else on earth that loves the art of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu as much as Kevin Landry. He eats, sleeps and breathes it. On top of all of that, what really sets Kevin apart is, he trains EVERY night. He trains without any ego at all. He’s not out there to kill you, because he knows neither you nor him would benefit from that. His humility has got him where he is. That is why I started with Kevin, and why I continue to train with him.
In the new Salem (and Exeter!) location, Kevin has surrounded himself with a group of people who love jiu-​jitsu almost as much as he does. On any given night, there are a number of VERY talented brown, purple and blue belts who train without any ego whatsoever. Because of that, there is constantly a number of super talented white belts who you’ll learn just as much from. Whether it’s your first night or your hundredth, everyone is treated with respect.
If you’re in the area, and you’re considering jiu-​jitsu, I really can’t recommend Renzo Gracie NH enough. Don’t hesitate to stop by, you will NOT be disappointed.

A few months ago I started BJJ training here with Professor Kevin Landry. I soon quickly realized I knew nothing of self defense, even after a year of Krav Maga. I found that Professor Landry and the entire team are all class acts. Renzo Gracie NH is an amazing academy to learn in. Both the Salem NH and Exeter NH ones are awesome. This is an academy not a gym, you don’t walk in, do your work out and go home. You make friends, socialize and grow to be a part of a family.
We learn Jiu-​Jitsu, and the big fear I had was going home with black eyes, which I haven’t seen happen to myself, nor anyone else. I have not once felt unsafe while rolling. The facilities are cleaned twice daily and the mats are always disinfected with the best solution on the market.
I love rolling, and learning self-​defense. What I really can’t wait for is my daughter who is 18 months to be old enough to put a gi on and see her roll with the kids.
It is a relaxed and fun atmosphere to learn in and everyone is very friendly. It truly is a place where strangers become family. Everyone and I mean every. single… person takes the time to introduce themselves to you. After my first class I felt like I was in a wedding reception line because I was greeted by so many people.
They offer Brazilian Jiu-​Jitsu, MMA classes, Power Fitness and children classes. I can not recommend this place enough. If your thinking about maybe joining take that step. Worried about being to big or small, don’t. Come, train and learn with the most knowledgeable, well trained Professor and students in the area. The biggest step is that first one thru the door. And if you see a big, awkward geeky guy with a beard come say hello to me. Derry is an amazing facility, always clean just like Salem.
They did start AM classes, so check the website out or call them for a free intro class. I did and I haven’t regretted it once.
