North Carolina’s Top Rated Local® Martial Arts Award Winner: Rogue Combat Club

Top Rated Local® is pleased to announce that Rogue Combat Club is a 2019 award winner for martial arts in North Carolina!

Whether you’re interested in learning self-defense or you’re looking for a martial arts class for your child, Rogue Combat Club in Ashville is the place to go.

Rogue Combat Club has received more than 100 reviews on three verified sites with an average rating of 5.00 stars, earning them a fantastic Rating Score™ of 96.00 and a 2019 Top Rated Local award for ranking among the top 10 martial arts centers in all of North Carolina!

Here’s just one of their many five-star reviews:

“I joined Rogue Combat Club after many failed attempts to get back in shape at other ‘conventional’ gyms. I feel like Rogue stands out among others because when you are a member, you are a MEMBER. You have great coaches and teammates there to motivate you to meet whatever goals you set, from just getting into shape and losing weight to getting into the cage. Also, a huge benefit I’ve found from training at Rogue is the stress relief you get from hitting the bag or grappling with a partner, and the progression of your self-defense skills is a big confidence boost. It’s an addictive feeling that makes you want to come back the next day, fix your diet and just all-around improve.” – Jesse E.

Not Your Average Martial Arts Center

We wanted to learn a little more about this award-winning business and its outstanding online reputation, so we took a few minutes to talk with Johnny Buck, the owner of Rogue Combat Club.

The first question we had for Johnny was what is it that sets Rogue Combat Club apart from their competition in North Carolina. Johnny said that they have a very high level of education and training when it comes to all different forms of martial arts, so they train hard and train very well, and that if you are willing to learn as a client, you will definitely benefit.

Johnny went on to tell us that part of what they do and part of the reason they even do what they do is to change lives. He elaborated and said, “If you’re a part of Rogue, you’re a part of a family.

We also wanted to know what their mission is at Rogue Combat Club and how they work to make the world a better place. Johnny responded by telling us Rogue Combat Club’s core values, which are:

“Help someone every day; improve yourself every day; do good always; be grateful, and leave a legacy.”

Building Success Through Community and Experience

Johnny attributes Rogue Combat Club’s strong online reputation to the experience of the trainers and to the community they’ve created.

Rogue Combat Club has such a tight-knight community that, when one of the trainers’ Moped was stolen, gym members pulled together and raised the money to buy him a new one!

Outside of building a powerful online reputation, Rogue Combat Club has gotten their name out there through their Facebook page:

“Our Facebook page gets a lot of love. The coaches and gym members take photos of every single class and post them to social media.”

There are so many business owners looking to grow their business and build their online reputation. Here’s Johnny’s expert advice for them:

“Consistency, consistency, consistency — posting up to five times a day on social media isn’t too much! You should be sharing as much helpful information as you can, and try and be very targeted.”


Congratulations to the team at Rogue Combat Club for being a 2019 Top Rated Local award winner, and thank you so much, Johnny, for taking the time to speak with us!
