Excellent gym to begin learning Jiu-jitsu, progress your skills and compete, or just get fit in a practical and engaging way. I have only found top-notch instructors and respectful training partners here. The mats and changing areas are clean and the equipment is well maintained. This gym also sports an impressive array of weight lifting equipment and the instructors have a tremendous depth of knowledge on strength and conditioning as well.

If you’re considering getting into MMA or grappling, 100% checkout NESF Boston. It can feel intimidating to get started training in combat sports, but that feeling will disappear right after stepping into the gym. Dave Roy is a master of his craft - whether it’s getting an advanced fighter to that next level or teaching a day 1 beginner the basic fundamentals. Highly recommend!
