Gracie Barra Boston opened over a decade ago with head instructor Alexandre Costa leading the way. Alexandre has practiced martial arts for 40 years, beginning as a six-year old in Brazil to help with his health issues. This led him to make martial arts his life, moving to the United States to carry on the lessons he learned. Even as a five-time world champion, Alexandre most prides himself in making people better. This includes Boston Celtics NBA Champion head coach Joe Mazzulla, who went to him for guidance from martial arts once he became head coach. Alexandre continues to help people better themselves through Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu every day at Gracie Barra Boston.
