Welcome from the KAIZEN families!
The KAIZEN Family Invites You To Join Us!
KAIZEN is all about family. The entire KAIZEN management team alone has ten young children across three families! We are mothers and fathers, husbands, and wives. We live in Marshfield, Scituate, and Norwell and absolutely love the South Shore. We are a Jiu Jitsu professor and black belts. We are athletes and fitness instructors. We are a world champion, a state trooper, and law enforcement. We are professional educators and business leaders. We are ready to do whatever it takes to become the best version of ourselves and share that passion and commitment with the community!
Our three families came together to create KAIZEN, and making it family-friendly is at the heart of everything we do. KAIZEN is a space where kids and adults can take classes and be together in a fun, welcoming space. It’s a space where we can find our edge together, play, and become 1% better—every day. KAIZEN is a community of people who seek to live their best lives together. It’s all about family and friendship and where the lines between the two start to blur.
The KAIZEN Origin Story
It starts with three families and strong friendships. United by a shared passion for improvement, helping others, and Jiu Jitsu, we all found the same dream at the right time. Through the struggles of parenthood, the desire for connection, a love for fitness, and a realization of the amazing good that comes from Jiu Jitsu and fitness, we saw an opportunity to share it with even more people. We see the benefit that KAIZEN brings to the South Shore and are proud to offer a high-quality Brazilian Jiu Jitsu academy complemented by Muay Thai, Yoga, Barre, Fitness, and Enrichment Classes in a welcoming environment where everyone works together.
Now we get to the fun part—inviting you and your family into the space. There really is something for everyone at KAIZEN and we would love to invite you to check it out and get a tour. Contact us to learn how you can be part of the KAIZEN family.
Is KAIZEN right for your family?
KAIZEN is a welcoming space for children and adults to take classes, connect, and together, invest in your health and fitness. We provide children’s classes that are perfect for growing bodies and minds to learn about the importance of fitness, community, and becoming 1% better every day. We also have a wide variety of adult fitness classes. Some of our children’s classes coincide with fitness classes making it easier for the whole family to participate!
We have more in store!
This summer KAIZEN will be offering kids Jiu Jitsu during the morning and adding a six-week kids yoga series. By fall we will offer a kids Jiu Jitsu class for our littlest ones and our homeschooling community! Lastly, we have begun offering workshops and will continue to build the Classroom into a place where we can all come together to learn and be better!
At KAIZEN, we offer a wide range of fitness classes and have something for everyone in your family!
The KAIZEN Youth Jiu Jitsu Program
For children, we have Brazilian Jiu Jitsu classes that teach respect, discipline, and responsibility. Our age group classes teach the art of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu with a safe, fun, and dynamic methodology. Our Champion instructors are led by 3 stripe Black Belt and Professional MMA Fighter Professor Bruno “Jacaré” Dias who has a great way with children and a passion for teaching the art to the next generation.
I am SO grateful for Bruno! The way that he connects with the kids is unlike anything I’ve seen (and we’ve done a LOT of extracurriculars!). The mutual respect between professor and student is profound. Not only have children grown in confidence and strength, but they know that what happens on the mat doesn’t stay there. Bruno teaches in a holistic way, about what it means to be a good person and how to stick up for the underdog, help those below you and stand up for yourself, all deeply rooted in respect and patience. I am honored to have Bruno support my children during this stage of their life (9 & 7) and feel safe knowing my kids will have a strong Jiu Jitsu foundation as they continue growing and progressing in the sport. Thank you Bruno!

Muay Thai Kids at KAIZEN
KAIZEN also offers Muay Thai Kids which focuses on control and technique. Muay Thai, a kickboxing style that originated in Thailand, is one of the most effective striking-based martial arts in the world. Thai boxing techniques involve punches, kicks, elbow, and knee strikes along with stand-up grappling. It is practiced around the world by competitors, fans of the sport, and fitness enthusiasts of all ages.
If you are a parent considering Muay Thai classes for yourself or your children, know that Muay Thai training offers many benefits apart from fitness. Like many Asian martial arts, Muay Thai instills values like respect and humility. Here are some of the benefits that the Thai combat art offers:
Improves Fitness
Boosts Confidence
Provides Self-Defense
Builds Mental Toughness
Develops Social Skills
The KAIZEN Adult Jiu Jitsu Program
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is a great program for adults who are looking for more than just a series of techniques to be executed—it’s an opportunity for personal growth and development. KAIZEN’s Bruno Jacaré Jiu Jitsu Academy is a place where veteran instructors inspire you to discover that you are stronger than you think you are—physically, socially, mentally, and spiritually. We create the possibility for our students to maximize the potential within themselves. The community, discipline, and confidence developed equip our members with the mindset to live a healthier and more fulfilling life, on and off the mat.
KAIZEN’s Adult Muay Thai Program
