Robert Moss

Raised from birth in the Pioneer Valley, Rob graduated from Amherst Regional High School, and then pursued the veterinary technician program at Holyoke Community College, before transitioning to Westfield State University where he earned a BS in Biology. Not wholly fulfilled by team sports at a young age, Rob was drawn to martial arts, and first found his stride in the western martial art of fencing with an épée, under the tutelage of George William Claxton. Later he trained in Taekwondo under the watchful eye of Master Hoon Heo, achieving the rank of red belt. In 2015, he discovered jiu-jitsu at NESF, and has been passionate about it ever since. Rob has left western Massachusetts for the opportunities and charms of North Carolina, and he is deeply missed. Our secret hope is that the lack of Maple syrup and actual seasons in NC lures him back North, and soon 😉
