About Us:
East Coast Combat Club meets the needs of students by discovering and analyzing their goals.
Whether you’re an everyday student learning martial arts and making friends, you’ll still be competition-ready with your technique. Our lessons are rooted in using Jiu-Jitsu and kickboxing as self-defense; in fact, we’re the only martial arts school in Martin County offering both of these programs. When you join East Coast Combat Club, you’re joining a family, Team Carvalho, and learning BJJ from the Carlson Gracie Lineage. We’ll prepare you for anything.
Our History:
Owners Martin and Sophie Stoilkov established East Coast Combat Club in 2018 with hopes of running a martial arts academy full-time.
Martin first started martial arts in middle school when he started karate. He shifted interest and started Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in high school to progress into American Top Team training at 18. Today, Martin’s focus is on his students and helping the community through martial arts. The Stoilkov duo looks forward to expanding their school to accommodate more students and starting an afterschool program.
