David Roy and Kirik Jenness have been teaching Mixed Martial Arts in Western MA since 1993. Established in Amherst, MA, NESF is the oldest MMA school in New England in continuous operation.

The same team produces well known instructional media with 'Boxing for MMA' & '1001 Submissions' and MMA sportswear with 'iFight Athletics' & 'The Underground series'. They also founded the ever-popular 'Underground Forum' at MixedMartialArts.com and the sports largest Mixed Martial Arts directory at FightResource.com.

New England Submissions Fighting offers instruction in Mixed Martial Arts, a sport and approach to martial arts that draws the best moves from Boxing, Muay Thai, Wrestling, Judo, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and other practical styles. The claim to use the "best" moves in martial arts is not hype or hyperbole, it is proven, even scientific. Through live practice and competition, for each individual, techniques that work are adopted, and ones that do not are dropped.

While members of NESF compete regularly on a professional and amateur basis in MMA and grappling contests, training is by no means limited only to individuals whose goal is to step into a cage. We ask only that you be willing to train hard, keep an open mind, and maintain a positive attitude. Current members range in age from the single digits to their 50s, and of course include both males and females.
