Butch And Lisa are wonderful people. My son has been training there since 2009 and have been treated just like part of their family! I am proud to say my son trains there as they are a top notch gym. He has brought home a lot of gold thanks to Butch and his training partners.

My nephew is a member of this gym and Butch worked with his family to ensure he could attend classes when they went through a rough patch. He did not have to but he did and was very gracious about it. My nephew has loved going to this gym. He has learned a lot and after just six months of training won the state championship in his division. Way to go Butch Hiles gym!!!

Amazing high level instruction. A time tested curriculum from BJJ Coach and legend Marcello Monteiro is the base here as well as the evolution of the newest techniques used in elite BJJ competitions. Butch is a great instructor and gives his time to make his students the best that they can be. The entire Association is family and you will be welcomed with hospitality.

When I lived in Charleston, I took a beginners boxing class and a Krav Maga class, plus I enrolled my daughter in BJJ. I loved both of my classes and the instructors we had were top notch. I also started working with a personal trainer in the gym. Even though I’m no longer in the area, I still recommend the gym to everyone that is looking for the best. I know that if I was still there in the area, then I’d be taking Lisa’s kickboxing class because it just looks fun and a great workout.

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. I went from training there one day a week to now five days a week, not only because I enjoy the challenge and workout of BJJ, but also because the environment is always positive and coming to class will easily turn your day around for the better.

I started training here In Muay Thai back in my Junior year of high school in 2017 and honestly it’s the best gym ever. I’ve been here for a little over a year and I now do BJJ, needless to say Butch is a awesome instructor, Benji is a awesome instructor and so is the rest of the guys who are here! It’s not just a gym to me but also it’s like my second home and they treat me like family and I look up to Benji and Butch because they are great mentors as well.

I got station with the military in Charleston in 2010 I started looking for a gym here and quickly was pointed in Butch's direction by multiple military people already assigned here. I have been to gyms across the country and I can tell you that you will not find better and more honest people than Butch and his staff. They truly care about helping people. I highly recommend them for anyone looking to train in BJJ or just looking to get in better shape and some fun doing so.
