Nick and Maddie are doing an awesome job with this gym. Both are welcoming, humble and accommodating to anyone who walks in. Nick's credentials speak for themselves. You can come here knowing you're getting elite level instruction. The gym is also extremely clean and well maintained. If you're in the area and looking to start or continue your training, this is a phenomenal choice.

HIGHLY RECCOMEND this gym if you are looking for a place to try or train jiu jitsu! I have been training with Nick since I first started 4 years ago, and Nick is not only one of the best teachers I have ever met, but he is also an amazing human being as well. His instruction is very detailed, very easy to understand and has been a major impact in my jiu jitsu journey!

Nick is a phenomenal teacher, and martial artist. He has the ability to show students all the little nuances of technique and movement. Nick is a a top level competitor. I would say he is the highest level black belt in New England, and he is among the cream of the crop nationwide. Extremely kind, cares deeply about his students’ progression. Puts in the work out of class to ensure your success. He constantly learns new technique, and teaches both fundamental and advanced technique.

Nick Fiore was my first jiu-jitsu instructor. He is a phenomenal talent and coach and is the reason why I continue to consistently train 6 years later. If you’re looking for a great gym with world class instruction no matter what background, I recommend this gym.

I've trained jiu jitsu for 12 years in over 5 states. Nick is one of the best coaches and athletes I've met. His explanations and demeanor are professional and simple. Any time I've rolled with him, he has dominated me control and strategy. I trust him to give me a hard time, allowing me to learn all while I feel safe.

Nick is an approachable guy, polite, humble and very easy to chat with. I see him mostly working with my coaches, exchanging knowledge and pushing the limits in their own Jiu Jitsu. They’re all very high level talents and I think it’s important that good coaches challenging themselves regularly. Iron sharpens iron. The times that we’ve rolled together Nick allowed me to work and learn and when I caught a good transition, he was encouraging and positive. As a student of the sport that makes me feel good; as a female in the sport, this makes me feel safe. I’m glad to have him in our community because he’s working to improve Jiu Jitsu for everyone, without ego, just a passion for the sport and the people in it; new and seasoned alike.

Nick Fiore was my first jiu jitsu professor and my level of training would not be where it’s at today if it wasn’t for him pushing me to work harder, use technique and teaching me to relax and not panic. I’ve been told “If you’re having trouble learning a technique go to Nick and he’ll dial you in on how to perfect it”. For being a young man in his mid twenties Nick Fiore is one of the sharpest professors I’ve come across and has a skill in making difficult techniques easy to comprehend.

Nick is truly a phenomenal coach! His teaching style is comfortable and so informative. He’s able to break everything down in a way that any type of learner can understand. As a female, he’s always made me feel so confident with training and I leave his classes feeling empowered. I would recommend Nick’s classes to absolutely anyone and everyone!

Been under Nicks guidance for over 6 years now, starting as a complete beginner not knowing anything to being competent enough to compete in mma due to his teachings. He is the best jiu jitsu instructor in all of New England and I would highly recommend checking out his gym, you won’t regret it!

Nick was the person who introduced me to jiu jitsu 5 years ago. As someone who has been learning from Nick my entire jiu jitsu journey, I can say that his patience and clear, detailed instruction makes me feel comfortable and prepared in class and live rolls. His expertise shows clearly in every class he teaches, and he never lacks heart while doing it. Always welcoming, willing to answer questions, and help his students achieve their goals - highly recommend

Nick Fiore has managed to parlay his acumen as a high level Jiu Jitsu and MMA practitioner to the science of teaching these disciplines. Over several years, he has honed the ability to transfer his wealth of knowledge to his students. Whether a complete beginner or a high level competitor, Nick manages his classes in such a way that everyone benefits and no one is left behind. As someone who has trained under Nick’s tutelage for nearly 7 years, I highly recommend taking advantage of the opportunity to do the same.

I have been blessed enough to be able to learn from and train with Nick Fiore. He is a prodigious Jiu-Jitsu practitioner and an absolutely phenomenal teacher. It is one thing if someone has skill… it’s quite a different beast if they are equally skilled at teaching and imparting the techniques they have learned on their students. I would recommend anyone to learn from Nick whether they be competing or a general hobbiest. The wealth of knowledge this man has is unrivaled in New England.
