Kids Grappling

Black Cat is an excellent gym with an unrivaled culture! I have attended classes since the day the gym opened and I have always felt I have a fun and safe place to learn and grow in martial arts and as a person. Josh is a fantastic teacher, mentor, and friend to his students. He is very knowledgeable and explains concepts in a way that can be easily understood by all. If you’re thinking about getting into martial arts, look no further!

Solid place to train. Best MMA gym in Morgantown. All the coaches have a lot of knowledge in their respective sports. The owner, Josh Fowler, has always been one of the most knowledgeable martial artists I know. He’s also pretty quick with a joke. Definitely stop in Black Cat MMA if you’re wanting to get into shape, start a new hobby, learn to defend yourself, or want to compete. They offer MMA, kickboxing, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Kali, and wrestling classes.

THE BEST. This place trains at a national level. Josh taught me basically everything I know about self-defense and BJJ. It gave me a huge advantage in belting up when I hit the fleet in the military. I took my wife to see him as well and she learned a lot and loved it! Bottom line: they know their stuff, really, and it is presented highly effectively.

Myself and my 5 sons have been training here for the past three months. We’ve had a great time taking MMA classes. My kids look forward to learning something new each time we go. Josh has been an excellent coach and has even been able to maintain the attention of my two youngest for almost a full hour — which is an amazing achievement in itself. We look forward to being long-time students and expanding our skills.

Our daughter had a great time in the Kittens class. Coach Josh is amazing with the kids. His patience is top tier, from a small class to a large one. She picked up some great skills while being in his class that are now being applied in a school setting.
