    This is an excellent gym for learning mixed martial arts. It is led and owned by a veteran of the…read moreUS Navy who is totally committed to his gym, winning multiple awards and championships. This is A great locally owned business centrally located in Summerville.

    The lowball reviews seem a little simplistic . I've known Dwight for a number of years now, and…read moretook his classes until I was in a wreck. He's an awesome instructor and knows how to run a business. He supports the community from law enforcement to women's defense, to fund raisers supporting the military. As with any business that has a monthly membership, it's assumed you're attending unless you cancel your membership in person. Even Planet Fitness requires you to cancel in person. Instruction-wise, he's had a number of students go on to win first place at the many competitions he requires his students to attend before being promoted to a new belt. You don't have to compete at all of the competitions, but you do need to compete at one. I'm good with this because a competition is the only place a fighter can fight a total stranger, which is usually the main reason a person wants to get into a self defense class in the first place. He teaches legitimate self-defense. This isn't an after-school self esteem building school for your kid. Whether you're a child or an adult, you're going to be fighting each other and learning how to put knuckles on foreheads.

The staff made sure everyone felt comfortable and taken care of, offering guidance and checking in throughout. Great atmosphere, easy to follow, and I left feeling energized and accomplished. I'll definitely be back!

    I have such a love hate relationship with 9round. When I began my fitness journey, 9round was the…read morefirst gym I decided to try. I have been a member of the West Ashley, Summerville, and Mount Pleasant locations. Now I find myself back at the Summerville one. This gym is a little smaller than the other two I mentioned but it gets the job done. There's a black and red theme throughout the gym with inspirational quotes on the walls. The workouts can be intense--as the name suggests, there are 9 rounds. You spend 3 minutes at each round completing the designated activity at each. It's definitely a total body workout and the workouts change daily. My favorite aspect of this kickboxing gym compared to other ones, is there are no class times! You literally come in and jump in at the beginning of a round switch. The trainers are knowledgeable and helpful. They are there to encourage you, as well as push you to your limits. They sell heart rate monitors but I haven't (won't) get one (lol). Overall, it's a great gym/experience and I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a high intensity, efficient workout. The parking lot can get congested in the afternoons because it's in a plaza with Buffalo Wild Wings. But they have some designated parking spots. As a side note, I lost about 80 pounds through 9round workouts. :) I have picked back up some of the weight via muscles.

    NO WARMUPS. I was sold at zero warm-ups. No bowing to a picture of helio on the wall no weird stuff…read morelike calling the instructor Professor or sensie. This has by far the highest quality of students anywhere in Charleston. My last coach told me I was almost ready to get promoted and I was feeling cocky about my skills. I dropped into a class there one days and was getting submitted at will by thier bluebelts and some of thier whitebelts. It was then that I knew if I cared more about winning and being the best then I did about getting a blue belt it was time to change schools There is no bowing in or out of class which means the rolling stops when nobody can go any longer. They roll more here than any school I've ever been to. They have top of the line Fuji mats and the owner keeps the mats very very clean. If you want to get really good this is the school to go to. Just tonight we had a blackbelt from another school come here to train for his ADCC run with the purple belt here who medal at worlds last year. Best part is everyone here is cool respectful and pushes you to get better

    Great gym, just moving into Charleston I was looking for something similar to my old gym a more…read morelaxed less formal type of gym that works both nogi and gi pretty even, I feel like these type of schools are very effective for learning and getting better. The Instructor I met was very down to earth and chill which I think also helps with the improvement of students. Definitely recommend if your a beginner or just looking for a different place to train -Robert
