No Useless Warm-Ups.
Teaching Begins At The Start Of Class
Our classes begin with low intensity technical drilling, allowing students to begin learning right away. If you want more dedicated time to warm-up, you’re welcome to arrive a bit early or warm-up on your own at the start of class. We don’t require group warm-ups.
Running Late To Class? No Problem.
Train Whenever You Want
We want you to be able to train around your busy schedule. If you arrive late just check-in, get changed, and join us on the mat without disruption. Your training partner can get you up to speed. If you need to leave before class is done, just let your training partner know and head out.
All Students Are Respected, Regardless Of Their Rank.
We Treat All Students Equally
Ranking is meant to encourage and recognize skill development, not to segregate students. Training with partners of different skill levels is crucial to the learning process. Students may ask any other student to train, regardless of rank. Students are expected to share the mat space and be courteous of others, regardless of rank.
Train Wherever You Want.
Cross-Training Is Good
The world of combat sports is immense and growing fast. Cross-training is a fantastic way to explore new techniques, build connections in the martial arts community, and have a blast with new training partners. We are confident that you will benefit from training with us, so we feel no need to limit your training at other schools.
Don't Get Stuck In The Past
We Choose Techniques For Effectiveness, Not Tradition.
With 30+ years on the mats, we understand that this game is evolving constantly. It is important to adapt and implement new techniques to avoid becoming stale. If a technique works, we will do our best to safely integrate it into our curriculum.
We Don't Force You To Buy Our Gear
Wear Any Gear You Choose, Within Reason.
We value our students’ ability to express themselves and feel comfortable on the mats. Wear any gear you’d like. We only ask that you consider the safety and health of other students by adhering to our Dress Code guidelines. If you’re looking to rock some NESF Boston gear, we have some for sale at the front desk.
No Endangering Your Partner For The Highlight Reel.
We Offer A Safe Training Environment
Technique applied recklessly is bad technique. Using intensity to overcome a lack of technical understanding and control is unacceptable. While we encourage our students to occasionally test themselves at higher intensity, we expect them to always have the safety of their training partner in mind.
