All-In JiuJitsu.
I did the work, so you don't have to. Why give you a puzzle and not tell you what the thing is supposed to look like when completed? Principles and concepts allow us to accelerate teaching in a way relying on just technique just can't accomplish. Combine both with drilling light and drilling heavy and you get the of our best program.

Adding contextual pathways re-creates real situations you find in competitive matches and in real fights. Why try and develop skills and knowledge out of context? Then expect students to respond with the right moments with proper timing? Why make this all harder than it needs to be.

It's amazing to see a great group here. Chase Stafford and Densel Chapman and Black Cat Mixed Martial Arts and Self Defense have done such a great job of developing this program to compliment our MMA program, or Self Defense themes, and our Combat Sports striking in its own right. We compete, we work, we get better, we train, we have fun and we continue to grow.

The excitement we see from the folks in the gym makes it all worth it. 🙌 I built it. We run it. But you all fill it and keep it moving, growing, and welcoming. Thank you to our great community!

Lookie here! 👈👀

Solid group. Growing. Being who we are. Nothing fake. Just great people, a fun environment, and real experience. The asthetic is for fun. Don't let the cat on the logo fool ya. We're wolves on the mat and in the ring.

We open because we celebrate. Labor Day is a holiday to recognize the historical struggles of our workforce to win rights for the individuals and put limitations on corporate entiries to ensure fair treatment, liveable wages, and safe working conditions.
Our job is to have a place where people can come and get away from their work life. Somewhere to decompress and have a few moments where paperwork, bad bosses, lazy co-workers, and TPS Reports all can go silent and fade to the back ground.

The people at our gym work hard. Construction and labor, law enforcement, research and development, medical care, social work and services, education...all of them making our community better. And some of them have to work on a "day off." So we're here to give them the same chance to drop-in and tune-out as we would any day.

I dont expect a lot of folks to be in. It's a day off! But we're here for those that do.

You need work. You need good partners. You need reliable trainers. You need wolves not dogs. You need sharks. You need hand up not a hand out.

Training isn't just about what you do, it's about what you build. It's about honing a craft. Developing skilled partners. It's why we have folks from all over coke train with us. PA, MD, OH, VA. We share borders and we share a mindset and desire to improve as a whole.

Don't skip out. Put in the work and you'll see the changes in you and the people around you. Without everyone else in the room, your growth would be possible.

Everybody putting in hard work. Fighting is hard. Being prepared for violence is hard. It take a great team with a broad view to help you improve. And that's what we have. A great team of students and coaches who know what it takes to elevate and improve.

I've gotten comments about our gym a lot lately, and it's wonderful to hear. But what I do is only part. I set the tone. I pay the bills. I lose the sleep. 😆 ...But it's nothing without all these awesome people who come in and give it their all, have fun, and develop.

Fitness! Fun! Fighting!

You don't have to be fierce. You don't have to be pick-me. You don't have to be anything other than yourself and willing to work and develop fighting skills. I appreciate these ladies more than you probably realize. Fighting gyms are intimidating places for almost anyone, especially women.
We try as hard as we can to foster an environment conducive to making everyone feel welcome and engaged.

Self Defense, Martial Arts, and Combat Sports can be a challenging endeavor. Some people come into it lacking physical attributes. But you get stronger. You get faster. You develop balance and coordination. Some people come into it with less obvious challenges. Sometimes it's trauma. Sometimes it's lack of confidence or self esteem. But these develop as you train as well.

What you'll find with us is a large group of goofball, with a vulgar sense of humor, who are highly trained at sporting and street violence. And we wanna teach it to you too! Develop those skills and attributes. Develop that can-do mentality.

Kids and adults! (Sorry, we can't train your pets. But we know people who can at The Clever Canine LLC right next door!)

Thank you ladies for being a huge part of our community!

Welp. We got the sign up finally. Little more work to adjust it to proper height.
I mean, the audacity of having a sign that size doesn't escape me. But my ego didn't design it. My finances did. Lol It was really about the best deal.

Anyways, check out the new sign!
Before I have to replace it with another new sign. Lol
