Several years ago after having seen the UFC, I was curious to see what all this brazilian jiujitsu was all about... How could a smaller man defeat a larger opponent? I was looking for a martial art that wouldn't require me to do flying back kicks or crazy acrobatics but want to feel like I could protect myself if need be. JiuJitsu gave me the confidence that I was looking for, and I know for a fact that it works if applied appropriately. It is a true self defense art and a whole lot of fun. It's almost like being a little kid when practicing techniques that require you to roll around on the ground. Heck, who can't lie down on the ground? Now all you need to do is learn how to move. Also, it's such a good workout. Steve Whittier in my estimation is one of the finest coaches around. Being athletics myself, I can relate to many of Steve's instructional techniques that he uses to teach. He brings not only a very high level of skill in his own practice of BJJ but also an intellect that causes a practitioner to improve. Ever since meeting him I was sure that he will go to the top with his students. read more

My daughter and son have been training at Nexus for nearly two years. I wanted to find a program that would give them skills and tools to help protect them from bullying as well as improve their overall fitness. Nexus is a clean, safe, fun environment and the instructors truly care about their students. The quality of the instructors is a major reason my children love coming to Nexus. The instructors at Nexus do an amazing job of coaching, motivating and inspiring the children in their class. Nexus is so much more than the typical "martial arts" school. The life lessons in class, the Black Belt Club and the belt promotions all combine to teach my kids skills that I feel will help them succeed not only at Nexus, but also in life. The motivation and work ethic they've developed at Nexus has had a very positive impact at home and school. My wife and I agree that joining Nexus has been one of the best things we've done for our children. I recommend Nexus without hesitation. read more

As someone who has been an active follower and practitioner of Mixed Martial Arts for over 4 years I can honestly say I have found my home at Nexus. Being a true fighter is not just based on how tough you are or how hard you can hit. To truly be competitive and become great it is more about what you know and how you implement it. This is something that Nexus has and that I have yet in my over 4 years of experience to find an equal. To be a true a fighter one must truly study the art of fighting and Nexus is the Harvard of MMA and I am proud to say that I am student of a school that produces smart and technical fighters not bullies or tough guys. As to those who worry about price and cost all I have to say is that you get what you pay for and when it comes MMA, Muay Thai, and Jiu Jitsu Nexus is the best you can get. read more

I love Nexus Martial Arts. My daughter has been attending training there for a little over two years now, and it was the best thing I have ever done for her. The coaches are experienced, knowledgeable, caring, patient, and devoted to each and every student in and out of the classroom. My daughter love going there and is not only learning MMA skills, but also how to positively handle situations, people and herself. The education and training she is getting at Nexus will benefit her for the rest of her life. The reception staff are also very proficient in what they do. They are always friendly and helpful. I highly recommend Nexus Martial Arts to anyone looking for a complete mind and body fitness program for themselves or anyone they care about. read more

After having back surgery a couple of years ago I have been very leery of working out in fear of re-injuring myself. Nexus Superfit Women's Only Boot Camp is the best thing I have ever done for myself. The classes are so empowering, and push you without overdoing it. I can honestly say that after only a month of training I feel much better emotionally and physically and have lost 11 pounds. I was so nervous at first, but Master Sargeant James and all the AMAZING ladies have been so positive and make me want to keep doing better. If you are looking for something to challenge you while having fun then you will find it with Nexus Superfit Women's Boot Camp!! read more

I started attending Nexus MC about three months ago to train for a movie . Started private training with OWNER and Chief Instructor Steve Whittier. I was immediately impressed by his sincere dedication to the Art. His teaching methods and instruction make it easy to learn the techniques. I was so impressed by the school and his staff I enrolled my 5 year old son and he loves it!! (Thanks Matt!). I did my research on local martial art schools in the area and Nexus hands down was the best choice as far as rates , cleanliness and knowledgeable instructors. I would recommend them highly to anyone interested in getting involved in martial arts. Chace Carson read more

I am so happy I found Nexus. My kids took karate classes at another school but it was nothing like this! The kids have always been into sports but nothing has ever been such a positive force in their lives as Nexus has. The instructors work really hard to instill all the students with values that will last a lifetime as well as teach martial arts skills. They still enjoy other sports, but nothing else has helped them in terms of confidence and even their grades like this has. Joining Nexus was the best thing we have done for them this year. Now I am looking forward to trying class myself! read more

Nexus is AMAZING! Seeing a negative review like that makes me wonder about the person's real motives because everyone I know who goes there absolutely loves it. My kids did the free trial and it was fantastic, very professional and friendly. And Nexus is definitely not the only school in the area. We come from Falmouth and pass a bunch of places to go there because it's by far the best place around, and my sister in law does the same with her son. We've checked out places that charge a lot more that are basically just a day care, but at Nexus the instruction is worth every penny!" read more

This place really lives up to the reputation, the instructors are amazing and all the people are really cool. I have been around athletics and martial arts for years and can say that nexus is the best place I have every trained and that includes bjj, MMA and thai boxing. A few friends train at other gyms in the area but I look at the instruction they are getting and they just don't what they are missing. read more

Coach Stephen Whittier and the staff at SBG East Coast are fantastic! A wealth of knowledge in every area of self defense, martial arts, and fitness. Coach Whittier has been influencing my martial arts journey for years through hands-on coaching as well as the vast amount of information he shares via his online coaching coursework. If you live in the area you need to train here! read more

Coach Stephen Whittier is one my absolute favorite martial arts coaches. He is one of the few martial artists in the northeast that is both a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu black belt and a Muay Thai Kru, and every year we bring him to Atlanta to teach a pair of sold out seminars to our martial arts athletes. If you are in the Wareham area, make it a point to stop by SBG East Coast. read more

After meeting and getting to know all the men and women that I go to class with, I found out that almost all of the students travel 30 to 45 minutes one way. That's after working all day. Why would you do that? Surely there are many other gyms and martial arts studios by your house. As they say, the proof is in the pudding. Across the board NEXUS is the best. read more

Nexus is a great place with awesome, knowledgeable and enthusiastic instructors. A bunch of friends and I take the Superfit Bootcamp and Kickboxing classes and we love getting our butts kicked every week. They are always mixing things up, keeping things interesting and making us push ourselves. The gym has an amazing energy, you won't be disappointed at Nexus! read more

My son used to do karate but lost interest. I had heard a lot of great things about Nexus so we decided to try it and my husband and I are very impressed with the staff and the way that the instructors are so positive and instil confidence in our son and the other kids!! read more
