The Bullpen Fight Club was founded in 2008 when Thomas Hasting’s Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu team joined forces with Mike Napple’s boxing team. Thomas had the top Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu gym in the Ohio Valley and Napple had the top boxing gym in the valley. Both teams had students interested in competing in mixed martial arts and both coaches knew that combining forces was in the best interest of their students.
The Brazilian jiu-jitsu classes are taught by Thomas Hastings (BJJ Black Belt with 20+ years of experience), Josh Baker (8-0 Pro MMA Fighter & BJJ Black Belt), and Alex Hilton (BJJ Black Belt). The boxing lessons are taught by Ronnie Green Sr, his sons Ronnie and Ronell Green (11-1 Pro Boxer), Travis Clark (14-2 pro boxer and 7-3 MMA fighter), and Mike Napple (10-2 Pro Boxer and 5x Bando National Kickboxing Champion).
