Pit.Fit began as S.L.O Kickboxing in 1998 when it was opened in University Square of San Luis Obispo by Chuck “the Iceman” Liddell and Scott Adams. Adams and Liddell were teammates on the California Polytechnic University wrestling team and after graduating, wanted to not only continue training, but also to share their knowledge with San Luis Obispo natives and college students.
Both brought impressive wrestling abilities, but Liddell’s extensive striking background combined with Adam’s experience in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu made for a complete curriculum. Liddell and Adams would both compete in the UFC, but would shortly go in different directions. Liddell would become the UFC Light heavyweight champion and Adams would found World Extreme Cagefighting (which would eventually be absorbed by the UFC).
Since then Pit.Fit has been home to UFC fighters, teens looking to build confidence, World Champion Kickboxers, health conscience college students, world class grapplers and many children looking for mentors, guidance and someone to just look out for them.
We have trained some of the best fighters in the world, but we have also trained everyone else, and plan to keep doing so.
