Welcome to Advanced Boxing, Kickboxing, & Jiu Jitsu!
We are the only team
in West Virginia to successfully compete in all areas of combat and
martial arts. In fact, this is the only gym where you can train
with boxing champions, kickboxing champions, mma champions,
jiu-jitsu champions as well as many other sport champions
(wrestling, judo, etc) all under the same roof.
We have the only certified
Muay Thai instructor in the state (under Master Toddy) and train
under some of the most well known jiu-jitsu and mma instructors in
the world (Royce Gracie, Marcello Monteiro, and Ricardo De La Riva).
We also pride
ourselves on giving our members the best opportunities possible
(whether they compete or not). We have had people compete all
over the world (Japan, Thailand, Germany, Canada, etc) and we have
had people compete in the best promotions possible (Pride, K1, King
of the Cage, etc). Some of our members have been on
international television and pay-per-view as well as internationally
sold DVD's and VHS tapes.
