Charleston Krav Maga & BJJ

Charleston Krav Maga & BJJ has been a fixture on Wappoo Road, bringing a blend of martial arts to the Charleston area under the leadership of Matt Robinson.

The academy is the only Fit to Fight training center in the Lowcountry and holds affiliations with both Krav Maga Worldwide and Fit to Fight, giving it a unique place in the local martial arts landscape. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu at Charleston Krav Maga & BJJ is taught in both gi and no-gi formats, with adult classes led by black belts Matt Robinson and Bryan Chaikin. The schedule includes BJJ Fundamentals for those building their foundation, as well as mixed-level sessions and no-gi instruction with Wesley Welborn. The academy’s BJJ program welcomes drop-ins and supports students who want to train for fun or prepare for competition. There is also a structured path for kids, with T.E.A.M. Kids classes divided by age groups (3–5, 6–8, and 9–13 years), taught by instructors like Emma Rumph, Bill Creed, and Matt Robinson. Beyond BJJ, the academy runs regular Krav Maga, Muay Thai kickboxing, and fitness classes for adults. The kids’ martial arts programs emphasize safety, anti-bullying, and personal growth, and the school is known for its commitment to local homeschoolers and school outreach. The facility is wheelchair accessible and open to visitors interested in trying a class.
