High Performance Gym

High Performance Gym is led by Clay Burwell, a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt and veteran of the US Army's 82nd Airborne Division. Clay’s background includes competitive boxing experience from the New York Golden Gloves, which complements his BJJ expertise. Alongside his wife Elizabeth, who brings decades of experience in dance, Pilates, and postural therapy, they have built a training environment in Mauldin, South Carolina that integrates martial arts and fitness. Their approach reflects a blend of practical combat skills and functional strength development. At High Performance Gym, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu classes are offered for both adults and children, covering gi and no-gi training. The academy focuses on professional-level instruction, guided by Clay’s black belt knowledge. Beyond BJJ, the gym provides personalized training sessions tailored to individual goals, incorporating various modalities to improve fat loss and overall strength. This combination of martial arts and fitness is designed to suit a wide range of practitioners, from youth students to seasoned athletes. The schedule includes open mat sessions where adults can train freely, allowing students to drill techniques and spar outside of formal class times. The gym also extends a military and law enforcement discount, reflecting Clay’s veteran background and commitment to serving those communities. Located on North Main Street in Mauldin, High Performance Gym offers a focused space for serious Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu training and personal development.
