Newaza Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Club was founded in 2013 from a dream Professor Rogerio Sena and Professor John Romano had to spread the art of Jiu-Jitsu at Leominster/Fitchburg area to friends. Everything starts at Prof. John Romano Garage, just few weeks after we rent a place and bought mats to better practice the art .The vision for the academy was to have a closed club with a few members that wanted to learn on an environment that focused solely on jiu-jitsu instead of following the popular trend of being a MMA school. Due to the great success of the club, Prof. Rogerio Sena decided to grow and spread the wings in 2014 taking the club into a bigger place.

Today, Newaza Brazilian jiu-jitsu have members and competitors that continue to spread their innovative style of jiu-jitsu. We created more classes and also added Kids Empowered Jiu Jitsu Program Classes to our schedule. Our vision still the same as in 2013, quality over quantity to bring the best to our students.
