“The path is the most important part, and to be able to do this with your friends, to build relationships, to challenge yourself physically, mentally and progress, that’s all we really can ask in anything we do. And in my life, I’ve found the best avenue for that: jiu-jitsu.”–Butch Marks
Butch is a true martial arts student, and he began his studies at the age of 4. By the age of 7, he was on the USA Karate National Team. In 1995, he was introduced to Gracie jiu-jitsu (the Brazilian form of jiu-jitsu developed by the Gracie family), and he continues to learn new methods of the jiu-jitsu discipline even after 20+ years of experience.
His titles include:
The youth Jiu-Jitsu class was fantastic .Great teacher, great energy, kid's had really good attitudes and all worked really hard. I would highly recommend this school.
Stopped in to train here while I was on vacation, this gym is awesome. I received top notch instruction from Butch in Jiu-Jitsu, got some good rolls in and learned some solid, effective techniques. I didn't get a chance to participate in the boxing or wrestling programs but what I saw of them would lead me to believe they are top flight as well. I will definitely stop in here as soon as I get back up to NC.
Great place to train! Great people and very smart coaching.
