MONCKS CORNER, S.C. – The Berkeley Chamber of Commerce celebrated the grand opening and ribbon cutting ceremony for Lionheart MMA and Fitness on Aug. 13. Specializing in martial arts, the business is located at 333 Peagler Way in Moncks Corner.
“The Berkeley Chamber is excited that Lionheart MMA and Fitness decided to locate here in Berkeley County. It is critical that we all stay healthy during these challenging times, and we have a deep appreciation for them offering this service to our citizens,” the chamber said in a news release.
Lionheart MMA Fitness is locally owned and operated by Brandon and Amy Slaton. The company started in April 2020, but due to the pandemic had to shut down, according to the chamber. The couple opened this new 4500 square foot location on June 19, 2021.
Brandon started training back in high school, making the varsity wrestling team at a 5A school as a freshman. After graduating, he joined the U.S. Army.
He trained, competed and instructed in the Modern Army Combative’s Program (MACP). Outside of being a coach and father, he is active in the U.S. Airforce reserves.
Amy is a NASM certified trainer, lover of squats, box jumps and all those other exercises the rest of us try to avoid. She is also a member of the local chapter of the TWAW group.
