On Saturday, September 4, 2010 Charleston, West Virginia will, once again, host the official state Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Submission Wrestling State Championships as part of the “West Virginia Games.” The WV Games is a huge event that takes place on Magic Island, which is located on the Kanawha River in the capital of West Virginia and offers a scenic backdrop to a flurry of athletic competitions and events. This is a family friendly event and we encourage all of our competitors to bring their friends and families so they can enjoy all of the other events and activities during the tournament.
Besides the Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Submission Wrestling State Championships, the WV Games will also feature volleyball, boxing,
crossfit competition, a family funzone, a zumbathon, gymnastics, and much more. Each pre-registered competitor will also receive a ticket to Friday nights WV Power Baseball game, which includes a fireworks

Guys,
Since this came out of nowhere, a lot of people have been asking about the new boxing trainer. His name is CT King and he is an elite level trainer. There is absolutely nothing like it in the area and I encourage you to invite people down to try his classes out. I will start posting video and newspaper articles, as I have time.
Here are the first few clippings I posted:

Guys,
For awhile now, Leon Ramsey and I have been working on some ideas to take our boxing program to another level. There are a lot of boxing gyms that pop up here and there, but as you notice, they never last. There are many different reasons for this and, even with my gym, I have had literally thousands of people come through the doors who wanted to box but never stuck with it.
Those numbers bother me, so I made some changes and took a Monday class that had 3-4 people and within a few weeks it ballooned to 20 plus people. So, I know we are on the right track. You need quality instruction that someone who wants to compete can use and someone who wants to learn for fun can use. That sounds easy, but that combination is hard to figure out and it’s why most gyms fail.
Working on the formula I came up with, and some ideas that Leon Ramsey had, we have now brought a new person into the mix that we hope will bring the Charleston group A LOT of success. He and I both feel that this will allow us to train amazing fighters but also give your “average person” amazing training for fun and self-defense. Our new coach has worked with dozens of famous people and has been around some Olympic boxers. He’s an amazing mitt holder and trainer and we both hope that this will bring great success to the gym, and to Charleston, WV as a whole.
Please stop by at 6PM tonight (Wednesday) and check it out. You will not be disappointed…
More news to come!
See you soon and let’s thank Leon for all of his help,
