Our Unique Programs Designed for Women
Available by Private Lessons, Group Classes, and Scheduled Seminars
At Butch Hiles BJJ & MMA (Advanced BKJ) we offer self-defense, kickboxing, and jiu-jitsu for women in either group classes or privately.
Our programs are designed for anyone!!! If you just want to stay in shape, learn self-defense, or go on to competition we have the right program for you.
Women have the unique opportunity to train with other women in a variety of top notch programs. We realize that most women want the opportunity to train with other women exclusively, and you will have that opportunity at Advanced BKJ. We are one of the only gyms that are able to offer this in every area of our training and we work hard to make sure that each woman has the proper training. We have a core group of ladies who are already accomplished athletes and champions and they will help you in the program of your choice.
Self-Defense
This program was specifically designed to prepare women for real life threatening situations. Our Self Defense techniques provide the knowledge and skills for any woman to escape from her attacker, whether she is on her feet or on the ground. This course is unique because it does not rely exclusively on punching and kicking, as do many other forms of martial arts.
Punching and kicking are not effective against an assailant who is bigger, stronger and capable of hitting back. In addition, they are useless on the ground, which is where a rapist/attacker is going to assault a woman.
We offer two different self-defense classes for women, including private sessions and seminars. To learn more contact:

Ladies Kickboxing
This area of training is tailored to women who want to learn the real techniques of kickboxing but also want a cardio flair. Emphasis is on fun, learning, and getting in shape.
Butch Hiles BJJ & MMA features the only certified Muay Thai/ kickboxing training in the state.
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu
This is the most effective means of self-defense for women, period. This class allows members to learn the most effective moves on he ground to defeat their opponent by submission and position, and most importantly escape from their attacker.

Congratulation to a true pioneer of West Virgina Brazilian Jiu Jitsu on receiving his Black Belt. If it wasn't for this man BJJ would would be dead in WV, and that speaks volumes for what he has done for this sport. He doesn't do it for the money, he doesn't do it for publicity, he does it because he loves teaching and helping others. To him its not about belts, its not about rank, its about doing the right thing and helping others. He is a great person and one that should congratulated, but more importantly should be thanked for keeping his passion alive. So Butch Congratulations on your achievement its well deserved and thank you.
