From the reviews
I dropped in during a road trip. The team was very welcoming. I took Hunter's class and John's class. Solid instruction going over takedowns, side control escapes, and great rolling. The showers were clean and helped a lot for my road trip. Thank you Butch Hiles BJJ team! Highly recommend.
Great gym, great people. I started bringing my kids there over three years ago to bullyproof them, and now I haven't had problems of that nature for a long time. Some of my kids moved on to adult class, so I didn't have an excuse not to take class myself and have been training with Butch for over a year now.
I began training Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu while in college in June 2017 because I wanted to learn a new skill and try something that seemed unique. I never had an athletic background before starting and the instructors, including Butch himself, have been nothing but kind, patient, and informative since day one.
Best place to put your kids to learn something valuable. Classes for everything all ages. This place just keeps getting better (updates to classes, updates to the facility). Probably the only place to have fun doing something productive as an adult in this county.
Your first kickboxing class at Butch Hiles Brazilian Jiu Jitsu & MMA, LLC - Charleston, WV
Nervous about walking into a kickboxing gym for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good coaches expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling the basics — stance, footwork, and punches and kicks on pads or a heavy bag — not hard sparring. Go at your own pace and rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: comfortable athletic clothes you can move and sweat in, and supportive trainers. What to bring: water, and hand wraps and gloves if you have them — many gyms lend loaner gloves for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gloves and wraps (and shin guards once you start sparring). Sparring is optional and eases in gradually, once your basics are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the coach. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
