Black Cat Mixed Martial Arts and Self Defense

Black Cat Mixed Martial Arts and Self Defense operates at 9500 Mall Rd, Ste 217, in Morgantown, West Virginia. Serving students in Morgantown and nearby Granville, the academy delivers training across grappling, striking disciplines, practical self-defense, and youth martial arts programs. The school is owned and instructed by Josh Fowler, who leads daily classes alongside an experienced coaching team. The grappling curriculum focuses on Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and wrestling fundamentals, covering positional control, takedowns, guard retention, and submissions. The striking program draws from Muay Thai, Dutch style, and American kickboxing systems to teach effective stand-up striking mechanics. Additional offerings include women's self-defense courses, weapons defense, and fitness classes for adult practitioners. Youth training is divided into Kids Grappling, Kids Striking, and the Kittens Kombat Sports program to help children build coordination, athletic discipline, and personal confidence. Interested practitioners and local beginners can book a complimentary free trial class through the gym website to get started on the mats.
