Martial Arts Near Candler, NC
Candler residents heading into Asheville for work or school can easily add Rogue Combat Club to their routine. We bring serious competitive credentials to BJJ and Muay Thai — led by owner Johnny Buck, a 10th Planet Black Belt and IBJJF World Champion, and two-time WKA World Champion Duece Carter. Whether you're commuting via Smoky Park Highway or Patton Avenue, your free session is the same welcoming introduction every Rogue member gets, no matter where they're driving in from.
Why People Travel to Rogue Combat Club
Tucked into the Hominy Valley about 9-10 miles west of Asheville, Candler is roughly a 17-20 minute drive from Rogue Combat Club via Smoky Park Highway or Patton Avenue — a route many Candler residents already run daily for work, school, or errands in Asheville. Because Candler itself has few dedicated combat sports options, families and adults from the area consistently tell us they're willing to add 15-20 minutes onto their commute home specifically for a level of BJJ and Muay Thai coaching they can't find any closer. For Candler's more rural households, that short drive east buys access to a coaching staff most gyms twice the size can't match.
