NESF Boston

For those who may wondering if starting jiu-jitsu is for you, I would say NESF is the perfect place to start. From my experience it’s a welcoming and friendly atmosphere for starters looking to get their feet wet. Head coach Dave is an experienced Jiu-jitsu and MMA practitioner/coach who will walk you through the vital steps to drastically improve your Jiu-jitsu starting at all levels . Our gym ethos is both a competitive and beginner friendly environment. Most importantly regardless of level, we create a fun inclusive environment where we share jiu-jitsu knowledge to make everybody better and life long lasting martial artists.

Amazing place! Coach Dave is phenomenal—his expertise and passion for Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu are evident in his teaching style. He made sure to give personalized attention to everyone in the class, making me feel included and motivated. The environment is incredibly supportive, and the fellow students were equally encouraging and friendly. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced practitioner, NESF BJJ is the perfect place to train. Highly recommended!

I had a great time stopping by NESF Boston for some ju jitsu training this week. Really looking forward to digging deeper into this sport. Dave and Jake know their stuff and provide solid instruction, building up from fundamentals into complex chains of moves. On top of that, the community at NESF is super welcoming, safe, and full of people who enjoy helping each other level up their skills.

Jake was one of the most accommodating, knowledgeable and professional fighting coaches I’ve encountered in my 8 + years of training. He had high level and specific technical advice for all of my questions. If you want to learn how to defend yourself from a true pro and have fun while learning, check out NESF. Great community.

I dropped by NESF for the novice class while traveling for work. It was easy to sign up and the front staff was super helpful. The instruction was very approachable for the intro class and there was a clear emphasis on the 'why' behind different movements, which I found immensely helpful for learning. The format of the class was also a breath of fresh air compared to more traditional class structures: while warming up with light rolls was encouraged, there was no wasted time with mat cardio or line drills. Just straight to relevant and useful technique. Highly recommend hitting NESF if you're in Boston. I look forward to dropping in again next time I'm in town.
