Rich started martial arts at 12 years of age. In 1994 he earned his black belt in Tang Soo Do under Dale Thompkins of Thompkins Karate Association where he taught adults and kids until 2014. After taking 2 years off he was recommended BJJ by a friend and started at Conquest. Rich is currently a purple belt in BJJ and still enjoys competing.

Amazing place with great trainers. Family oriented atmosphere and seeing great gains!!! Come join the family!
After trying the free trial I made up my mind to join this gym. I started doing Muay Thai only a few months ago and have drastically progressed so far. The gym has a very welcoming environment and everybody is respectful of each other. Instructors are also great, Nate especially!
Conquest is a one of a kind gym. I have been going to gyms for 10+ yrs and have not gotten the results that I was able to achieve at Conquest. Everyone is friendly, from Staff to other members. Everyone is also willing to help you with whatever your goals may be. Not only has conquest allowed to me gain the results I was looking for, they also gave me the passion to better myself and continue to workout for a goal. I would and will recommend this gym to anyone who wants to get in shape, learn a BJJ, and the other martial arts that they offer.
