Electric City MMA

Electric City MMA has been part of Anderson, South Carolina since 2016, founded and overseen by Blake Grice. Blake brings a unique mix of experience to the academy as a Citadel graduate, Army veteran, three-time Ironman finisher, MMA referee, husband, father, and coach. Alongside his wife Leigh Ann and their children, Blake has built the gym into a family-run operation anchored in practical training and personal connection. The academy operates out of a modern 10,000 square foot facility, offering a structured Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu program with classes tailored for both kids and adults. Children as young as three can start in the Kids BJJ classes, which are divided into age groups for ages 3–5 and 6–13. Adult students can join fundamentals or all-levels BJJ classes in the gi, with additional sessions for open mat and general adult BJJ. While BJJ is a core focus, Electric City MMA also runs Muay Thai for adults and kids, MMA classes for adults, and functional fitness options including HYROX training. The gym welcomes drop-ins and encourages participation across its programs. Belt promotions in BJJ are recognized through the academy, with students purchasing their own white belt and earning higher ranks through training and recognition. The schedule is designed to make training accessible for a range of ages and interests, reflecting the Grice family’s commitment to building a practical, multi-discipline training space in Anderson.
