At Alexey Pickerell BJJ, we bring the rich traditions and techniques of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ) straight from Brazil to the heart of Westbrook, Maine. Led by Alexey Pickerell, a seasoned black belt with over 30 years of experience, our gym is a proud member of the New England United (NEU) team, one of the most respected BJJ organizations in the region. We are dedicated to providing high-quality instruction in a supportive and inclusive environment, helping students of all ages and skill levels achieve their martial arts goals.

Alexey Pickerell began his Jiu Jitsu journey in his hometown of Belém, Brazil, and later honed his skills in Rio de Janeiro, a global hub for BJJ. In 2007, he brought his passion for the art to the United States, where he has been teaching and mentoring students ever since. Alexey’s approach to teaching is deeply rooted in the traditional values of discipline, respect, and perseverance, while also embracing modern techniques and training methodologies.
