Dropped in for a week. Initially I was lost because I’ve never been here, however, someone saw my blank stare and proceeded to help me with a smile on their face. They were extremely welcoming and friendly and glad to have me come in. I was offered to train for the week while I was in Charleston without having to pay any kind of mat fee. The Instructor Dwight Decker is an incredibly talented Black Belt and incorporated me into the class seamlessly. Overall a great class, great environment and a great place to train if you are in the Charleston area. When work takes me to Charleston, this is where I will be to train.
Black Force MMA definitely changes your life tremendously. Most definitely recommend coming here. Great people and amazing staff, they have so many options whether it would be jiu jitsu wrestling boxing or just working out will put you in a better mood and have a better mindset with everything that you do. Want to be in shape and feel great about yourself, Black Force MMA does just that.
We are thankful to have found this gym and become a part of the family. The staff are amazing. The programs are well rounded. The cost is very affordable. Our son has developed and matured so much over the past year. Highly recommend this gym to everyone
Black Force MMA is where it's at! Dwight has created a really special MMA gym, and I'm proud that me and my family are a part of it. The gym is truly family friendly/family oriented, and all of the coaches are top notch. Specifically, it's amazing to see how passionate and patient all the coaches are with the kids (and adults, too) classes. If you've been wanting to enter the world of mixed martial arts, regardless of your knowledge/experience, I highly, HIGHLY recommend Black Force MMA!
The experience and wealth of knowledge at this facility is top notch. It's always fun while learning. The family oriented feel makes Blackforce MMA a great establishment to be part of.
My cousins go to this gym and its amazing I went on the walk for the fallen and the people were so awesome and caring for me even tho they didn't even know me I love this place full of great people
Dwight Decker, owner of Black Force, has really created something special. He supports every child individually, and their families. He holds a high bar for the children to be respectful to each other, their parents and teachers. He has truly created the ultimate family atmosphere.
Black Force was very gracious to let me drop in and train while I was visiting SC for the week. Everyone was super welcoming! Great gym environment with knowledgeable instructors and all the good vibes.
This is indeed the best mma gym in summerville, these guys knows what there talking about.
I can't wait to start back soon as I get over some personal stuff.
Great gym!
Best place to train for self defense and martial arts. Family environment with knowledgeable, kind and patient coaches. Everyone accepts you for you, no judgement. We play hard and have fun! Even give back to our veterans and their families. Thank you Coach Dwight and Michelle. ❤️ We are more than a team, we are family. #bfmmafamily
It’s a great fit for an individual or an entire family. Training at Black Force has been nothing but amazing for our family. Try it out it can change your life.
I love this gym.. the coaches are amazing, ver professional and encouraging. The families that attend are just that ... You are not part of a gym, you are part of a family. Leave your ego at the door and have fun learning. This family also comes together for a great cause.. Walk 4 fallen, they take over where the VA leaves off. They help Vets and their families.. Dwight Decker is a great man and does great things with his coaching staff and students
I have a preteen daughter that has been training for 2 years at Black Force. She started out just doing 2 kids classes and quickly realized that she absolutely loved it. She now trains 5-6 days a week in Jiu Jitsu, wrestling and boxing and has full confidence in her coaches. She always feels comfortable and safe which is so important when training in such a physical and hands on sport.
I’ve been training at black force for about a year now and it is hands down one of the best experiences of my life. The instructors are very detail oriented and work with people at all levels. Great school to join if you are looking
A few months ago my son started Brazilian Jiujitsu.
He takes his lessons very seriously and pays close attention to what the instructors tell him.
Tonight he was given the honor of moving up a class by Coach Decker due to his training commitment and for taking the class so seriously.
To say I’m proud is an understatement.
I often have friends reach out and ask me now I don’t teach Martial Arts where should they train..... well... I can definitely say hand on heart they need to check out Black Force MMA Academy (it’s near the back of Best Buy in Summerville)
The owner and head coach is incredible. Watching him teach reminds me of my Dad/sensei as he walks onto the mat and holds the attention of all his students. He is dedicated, knowledgeable and operates a great academy. Black Force Mixed Martial Arts & Fitness Academy is the place to be. Coach Dwight Decker, thank you!The smile on his sweaty rosey cheeks said it all when he walked in and told me his news.
Great coaching, nice atmosphere and an incredible facility! Our 11 year old boy has been going there for months and has loved every second. We are so lucky to have a facility like this with the coaches they have in Summerville.
Thanks Coach Decker & Team
I joined BFMMA a few months ago. Prior to that, I found it difficult to find a legitimate martial arts facility that didn't just teach martial arts for "fitness". The only person who will put a limit on what you learn here is yourself. You'll find students attending just for fitness to those training morning to evening seven days per week for cage matches.
I’m pretty sure this is the place. I went here last year, I liked it but I went a little to hard with some of the other guys and hurt my neck but they were so nice and very friendly. I would love to give it another shot. Because seriously I like fighting and training hard but works gets in the way and family as well but I will find time to come back. I promise on that. This is a great place and great facility
The first thing I would say is that I have 2 teenage girls- they are fully comfortable at this gym. As a mom that is super important. Second: I work out here too! I am not super fit, and I am accepted and encouraged. And the last, it is a very professional place - but super relaxed. Our family loves it here!
I appreciate that this gym gives parents the advantage and flexibility of taking kids to bjj 7 days a week at a cheap rate. Plenty of opportunity for growth from instructors and other kids. Thank you for what you all do and stand for 💯
BlackForce MMA is by far the best Jujitsu gym in the Lowcountry. The instructors are wonderful with children and are great influences on their lives. They are always upbeat and positive, while still reinforcing proper techniques and strict discipline. I recommend to any family or individual looking to train in martial arts, learn new skills or just wanting to work on personal fitness. We have felt very fortunate to be a part of the Black Force family.
Awesome atmosphere! My girls love it! And they learn a lot, stay in good shape! Also they offer after school programs and lots of fun activities for kids! I would definitely recommend!
We have been a Black Force family for a few years now. There is no where on earth that can beat the level of professionalism and feeling of home that BFMMA provides. If you go anywhere else for MMA training you are simply settling for second best!!
Best Gym we have ever been a part of. Black Force really makes you feel like you are a part of a family. My kids love it there and can't imagine ever going anywhere else. The single best place to train in the low country area. My kids have grown tremendously compared to any other place we have been world wide.
Highly recommended.
I am visiting Charleston for the 4th of July holiday. I sent an email to Blackforce MMA to see if I could train, and I got a reply within minutes. As a visitor to a gym you never know what to expect, but I was pleasantly surprised by the gym and the guys there. We had a great open mat session. I really appreciate Blackforce for letting me train with them. I highly recommend the gym for your martial arts training. I will be back next time I am in town.
The workouts here are shredding off my quarantine 15 weight gain. I wish I had found this place sooner than I did! If you like getting a good push for a workout then you'll love coming here.
I was in Charleston for the night so I decided to stop in for a gi class. Had a great time. What a great atmosphere the place has. The instructors made me feel welcome from the minute I walked in the door. Highly recommend this school whether you are just starting you bjj journey or have been training for a while. Thanks again Dwight.
This is a nice martial arts training center. They have expanded and have some really nice equipment. The management and most of the students are very friendly. If you or your child have some experience with Jiu Jitsu, which is what my son was interested in, I think its probably a great place to train. If you are a complete beginner your experience will likely vary. There isn't any beginner instruction, you just get paired up with someone close to your size and away you go. If your partner is a good teacher you will learn. If your partner isn't then you or your child are just going to get injured. For example, if you don't come in knowing that you should tap when training then you are going to get choked/injured. If you don't come in knowing how to land when you get thrown, your head is going to be bouncing off the mat often. Your only reprieve there is that the instructor notices the problem among all of the different partner groups that are on the mats. For reference my son did 3 years of Tae Kwan Do at a different training center and loved it. There was a lot of teaching and he learned a lot. Tae Kwan Do didn't have any chokes or throws so he wasn't prepared for those things when he attempted Jiu Jitsu. I was hopeful that he would have a similar experience at Black Force but unfortunately it didn't work out that way. We canceled after paying even through the Pandemic when there wasn't the ability to train. We didn't want to cancel as we felt that the pandemic was outside of the control of Black Force and wasn't fair to them to cancel. I was also hoping my son would figure it out and enjoy it. Now that we have canceled, I continue to get charged and am working with my Financial institution to dispute the charges and possibly have to replace my credit card to stop the charges even though I was told that I wouldn't be charged further. It's not going to be fun having to re set up all of the other billing that I have set up on my CC but that seems to be my only option at this point.
**Update**
Now I’m being told I can have my money back if I take down my review and withdraw my BBB complaint. Copy of email from Black Force attached. I’ll just cancel that CC and hopefully save the next guy some headache and cash.
Don’t go here. Just don’t. Save yourself the headache. The owner is a real tool/high school bully. We REALLY wanted to support a veteran owned small business but this guy is on another level.
We have attended Black Force Mixed Martial Arts for 6 months and he kept trying to charge us again and again after we’ve made our payments. We put a stop payment on our card because of this. I would get emails that he tried to take $50 here $75 there then another $300! All failed due to me putting a stop payment.
Not sure what his game is but, things got out of hand when he threatened to take us to small claims court before checking his records to see that we were paid up. We were never late to begin with.
The responses I received once I respectfully stood my ground were typical childish bully behavior. The owner wouldn’t talk to us in person when we tried to talk about it like adults. We just wanted an apology for how he spoke to us. NOPE just speed walked away telling us to go talk to someone else that worked there. Acted like he was too busy or too good to talk to us. When he later stood and chatted with a buddy of his. We tried reasoning with him and was met with more bullying. We decided as a family that our child wouldn’t attend this gym with someone like that in charge. We just couldn’t. It was really disappointing because we started to really like the trainers for the smaller kids.
Once we put in our cancellation via email in January AFTER we paid at the beginning of the month we were then harassed again on the 25th to pay for February. We asked why? He responded “ policy is policy”. We asked to see said policy and the contract to be met with another email telling us to not worry about it. He knows the game we’re playing.
??? I’m sorry. What? We have been nothing but kind and professional. I was going to let this go until he said that.
At this point it’s almost comical how emotionally childish this dude really is. Lay off the juice man seriously. Do better.
Just don’t go here. Save your money and find another place. It’s not worth it.
