The Next Element Academy

“While visiting the area, I took the Muay Thai morning class. I have some experience but I'm not very good. Everyone was cool. All levels class. Awesome technique, drills, and partner work. I brought my own gloves/ wraps but they had shin guards for me to borrow. Good people, no creeps. If I were to visit again, or live here, I would definitely get a membership. Clean, fair price, easy to find.”

“Dropped in for the week from out of town and the classes were awesome. Derrick and his crew are very friendly and great to grapple with. Wish this was closer to Ohio so I could drop in more often! Will definitely return the next time I’m in Myrtle Beach.”

“Great group of guys! One of the black belts there works at my barbershop, so I slowly met some of the fellow members, and when my son asked to sign up for jiu-jitsu, I knew exactly where to bring him. Ethan was awesome through out the sign up period and was very informative and supportive to my son! He has really enjoyed his experience thus far and is excited to be a member.”

“Absolutely amazing Academy, it’s hands down the best place to learn and roll In the Myrtle Beach area. DK And his team of coaches are top-notch, they are consummate professionals who show each and every student the personal attention they need to develop and they make it a point to make everyone at the gym, feel welcome, at home and part of the Next Element team. Honestly, I can’t say enough good stuff about this place, its staff and the jujitsu family that trains there, we are very grateful to have found them.”

“I come here every time I'm in town from Michigan. Facility is nice and so is the staff. There were 30+ people on the mat for a noon class. Highly recommend checking them out.”
