SF Training Connection

We Train Where The Pros Train.

Team Black trains regularly at El Niño Training Center in San Francisco with the Skrap Pack — one of the most respected fight teams in Northern California. Coach Dan Black has trained alongside Nick Diaz, Nate Diaz, and Gilbert Melendez. That access, that level of competition, and that technical standard comes back to Pittsburg every time he steps on our mats.

International Training

FROM PITTSBURG
TO PHUKET.

Team Black trains at Lions MMA Club in Phuket. Real camps. Real Thai trainers. Real fight opportunities. This is what separates Team Black from every other gym in the East Bay.

Health & Performance

Fighting the Real Enemy.

The number one killer of Americans isn't violence — it's metabolic disease. Heart disease, diabetes, obesity. All largely preventable. All treatable through real exercise, real discipline, and real nutrition.

Coach Dan Black has seen martial arts transform people who thought they had no options left. Team Black isn't just a fight gym — it's a health intervention for people who need something real, not another fitness trend.

For Fighters

Compete, rank, and win. Full fight team training with professional-level instruction.

For Health Warriors

What People Say
"I came in with zero experience. Dan doesn't treat you like a beginner — he treats you like a fighter in development. Six months in I have more discipline, more confidence, and I'm in the best shape of my life."

"Knowing that Dan trained the Diaz Brothers and Glory-ranked fighters — and he's still on the mats teaching regular people — that says everything about his character."

"I was heading toward type 2 diabetes. My doctor told me to exercise. Dan Black literally saved my life. I've lost 40 pounds and I'm sparring now."
