Sensei Brad is by far the best Judo coach in SC. I run judo programs for a living here and have been learning top tier judo from Brad since 2013. Hurry over and take advantage of this great opportunity to train with a 6x National Champion, Pan American Champion and World Team Member. I'll see you there!

I'm visiting from Seattle and reached out to Brad ahead of my trip to ask about attending classes for a few days. I'm so happy I found POD MMA as it's been an absolute pleasure to learn from Brad and Brian. It's an incredibly welcoming environment and Brad is great at teaching to your abilities and level. Looking forward to continuing to attend his classes on more trips in the future.

Brad is the best judo instructor around. I've been taking lessons from Brad for a few months now, and I love judo more and more each time. Brad's instruction is top-knotch. He takes the time to record videos so that I can review them later, explains techniques step-by-step patiently and clearly, gives extra tips to work on in/outside the gym, and is very supportive and constantly encouraging with a very difficult and technical sport. If you're looking for the most knowledgeable and best judo instructor and gym around, look no further. We're lucky to have this gem of a gym in the area! Come to POD MMA - you won't regret it.
