Black Label Martial Arts

"As a single mom, there were certain values and characteristics I looked for before my son joined Black Label over a year ago. After the first day of being in this gym, we knew it was the right fit. Malachy is patient with the kids, yet knows when to be assertive at the same time. He has some of the most dedicated assistant coaches I’ve ever seen, which is an extension of what he has created. The techniques/skills being taught here, results in our team taking 1st place at most of the competitions. My son has really flourished at this gym. Not only has he become more respectful at home, he has developed quite the passion and dedication to Jiu-Jitsu, which has been pretty awesome to see."

"My 10-year old son has been a part of Black Label for about 7 months. We absolutely love the team atmosphere and knowledgeable instruction. All of the coaches are so supportive and take the time to break down each technique they teach. They keep the students striving to get better every time they get on the mat, teaching them to focus and work respectfully. My son has grown so much in his strength, confidence and focus-he has truly found a love for martial arts!"

"We are very grateful for finding Black Label Martial Arts. Our son has found so much confidence participating in their Jiu-jitsu classes. He has learned alot of from the coaches. They create a positive atmosphere in the gym! This gym is truly a family, especially when we compete in tournaments!!"

"We are truly blessed to have found Black Label two years ago. Our daughter lacked confidence and it’s amazing how much she has grown since joining. The coaches are dedicated to each child’s journey and they go out of their way to ensure that every child knows they are supported. Professor Malachy has developed an outstanding youth BJJ program and I would recommend this martial arts school to anyone."

"Having our 5 year old daughter join the Black Label Gym is by far the best decision we made since arriving here to Charleston last year. In less than a year, our daughter has developed amazing self-defense skills, confidence, patience and discipline. On top of that, their program has turned our baby girl into a JiuJitsu Champion! They are absolutely passionate at instructing our kids and at any age or level. Professor Malachy, the head instructor, showed how much his program genuinely means to him when he attended our daughter’s 2022 Pan Kids IBJJF Competition back in July. Our daughter was the only one representing the gym at the time and he literally went the extra mile to make sure our daughter was successful. Only hours prior to the competition he instructed a seminar in Vegas and had fly all the way to Florida just to coach our daughter. His efforts allowed our daughter to walk away as this years Pan Kids Champion. A lot of the parents are truly grateful for the program and I personally have complete trust and confidence in them. Our daughter is the only one participating in the program, but we feel as if we are part of a huge family. It’s rare to find something this special. Thank you Black Label Martial Arts!"
