From the reviews
Training at Dedeco BJJ has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. From day one, it was clear that this place is more than just Brazilian jiu-jitsu —it’s a community built on respect, growth, and connection. What’s made this journey truly special is the people.
I have found Dedeco BJJ to be the best on the whole South Shore. Through the power of his character and example, Andre “Dedeco” Almeida has built a culture and atmosphere of encouragement, skill, support and friendship. The teaching staff that joins him includes John, Rich, Danny, Fabio and others.
As a first responder and a parent, I can’t recommend Dedeco BJJ highly enough. It's the perfect balance between elite-level instruction and a warm, family-friendly atmosphere. Dedeco shows incredible support for first responders.
As a woman, finding a gym where you feel truly welcomed, respected, and supported can be rare—but Dedeco Jiu Jitsu has been exactly that and more. From day one, I was embraced by a community that’s not only incredibly skilled but also warm, respectful, and inclusive.
New to BJJ? Start at Dedeco Brazilian Jiu Jitsu – Weymouth
Dedeco Brazilian Jiu Jitsu – Weymouth comes up as a beginner-friendly gym — noted on their own site. If you've never rolled or set foot on a mat, that's exactly who a good beginners program is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit or flexible to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and coaches scale the intensity to you. Second, you won't be thrown into hard rolling — reputable gyms build fundamentals (positions, escapes, and basic submissions) for weeks, live rolling eases in gradually, and tapping early keeps every roll safe. Third, all levels really are welcome — ask about a dedicated beginners or fundamentals class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out, and leave your ego at the door. Most gyms are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
Your first BJJ class at Dedeco Brazilian Jiu Jitsu – Weymouth
Nervous about walking into a BJJ gym for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good coaches expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling basic positions and escapes with a partner — not hard sparring. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: athletic wear you can move in (or a gi if you have one); you'll train barefoot on the mats. What to bring: water and a mouthguard if you have one — many gyms lend a loaner gi for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gi (or a rashguard and shorts for no-gi) and a mouthguard. Live rolling eases in gradually, once your fundamentals are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the coach. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
