Team Smith is considered "One of the Top Teams in the Country" by many teams and coaches around the Country.

Our Team traveled just last year to Chicago Il, Columbus Oh, Gaffney S.C., Western Va.,Newark NJ, Richmond Va, Chesapeake Va, Tampa Fl, and many other Va. locations. In all those venues Team Smith Won more Championship Belts or Gold Medals then all the rest of the Teams or placed in the top three teams in each event. To be Nationally Recognized a Team has to travel. Many Teams around Va. Beach say they are well known. Maybe in Va. Beach but around the Country only Team Smith from Va. Beach is well known. There are a few other schools in the area who do well, Team Poey, Team Linxx, Team Dark from Va. Beach and Team BlackHawk from Chesapeake, but none of them traveled as much as Team Smith. With the Team aspect in our training we put out Champion after Champion. Team Smith has been Kickboxing for over 15 years and over those years many known Champions have been produced. Some of the first Team Smith Champions were Mickey Chambers and Mike Dresch and Joanne Hamilton. Then came along Team Smith's Top Team to this day. These Champions set the benchmark for the Future Teams. We have always called it our Top Team over the years and have tried to produce Teams of the same caliber for many years since. Those Champions were: Mikey Holcomb,Amanda Shiner,Travis Qualls,Charles Baines. That was a Strong Team with a combined record of 78 Wins and only 4 Losses between them. That is not including their Boxing Records of which all of them had. Just in Kickboxing Championships alone they produced 23 Championships. Then came the next Team of which was another stellar Team. Christina Monaco,Tony Monaco,Cara Dickerson,Nelson Lebron,A.J.Schmidt, and a few othe rs. That leaves us with the Top Team we have today with such Names as: Ed Robinson,Jessica Goldyn,Michael Davenport, Their combined Record Today is: 27 Wins and 5 losses between them. We also have another Team on the Horizon with many new names, the list will continue to grow and Team Smith will continue to be a Top Team putting out Top fighters as long as they keep the Cutting edge style training. Joe Lewis (Craig Smith) Coach and instructor says that 70% of a fight is the conditioning and the rest is Strength and Technique. The main focus on Team Smith is conditioning. A routine training for Team Smith fighters is a (2) mile run carrying a backpack with between 7lbs and 40lbs of weight depending on size of fighter. Then there is Tire pulling dragging and flipping. The sprints come next along with vertical jumping and individual Tug-of-War and also Team Tug-of-War. Then comes inside drills where they gear up and hit bags and mitts and sparring. Then comes strength with Rope Climbs and Push-ups and Crunches. This is what it takes to be a Top Fighter.
