This is what Gladiator writer, Kirik Jenness, had to say about Kimura:

“Although BJJ, grappling, and MMA are individual sports, one of the defining aspects of the pursuits is a strong sense of team. There is no team in the USA with a more fervent sense of camaraderie, friendship, and unity than Kimura Academy.

After a long and distinguished career as a competitor and instructor, in 2001 Master Jean Kleber founded the first Kimura School outside of Brazil, in Portugal. In 2003 he came to America, and Kimura BJJ USA has born. Now headquartered in Watertown, Massachusetts, the 2,500 square foot academy offers over twenty adult, teen, and children classes weekly, morning, afternoon, and night, with private classes seven days per week.

When the dust settled on the mats and the chants of KIMURA! KIMURA! died down, the team had taken the NAGC Adult Gi title. Incredibly, although the schedule of the bus dictated that the team would be competing only in the afternoon gi division (rather than both gi and no gi) Kimura BJJ also took second overall for Adult teams. Then with exhortations over the PA system from NAGA President to party it up, they got back on the BJJ bus, and drove merrily home.”

Thank you to everyone at NAGA and Gladiator Magazine and to Kirik!

First class Brazilian jiu-jitsu instructors can be found at Kimura  locations in Watertown, South Boston, Framingham, Marlborough, and Medford.
