Build Better Humans.

In 1998, Brian Wright borrowed ten thousand dollars, rented a second-floor room behind a building most people couldn’t find, and laid down mats.

Twenty-eight years, several buildings, one hurricane, and one collapsed roof later, that room has become Killer B HQ.

The address has changed. The purpose hasn’t.

Killer B HQ

Killer B HQ brings three programs under one roof in Eatontown, New Jersey: Killer B Combat Sports, BLAB Training Laboratory, and Rock Steady Boxing for people living with Parkinson’s.

More than 300 people train here every week.

Their goals are different. The expectation is the same: bring your daily best, care for the people beside you, and keep learning.

We call that The Standard. Its first principle explains why we’re here:

The fight was never about the fight. Fighting is the tool. The person is the purpose.

Killer B Combat Sports

Killer B is a martial arts school that teaches Mixed Martial Arts. The order matters. We learn the arts before we mix them.

Boxing. Kickboxing. Wrestling. No-Gi Jiu-Jitsu.

Each discipline is taught on its own, then connected to the others and tested under pressure. Conditioning supports the work, helping students build the capacity to train well and keep training.

There are no belts or ranks here. Progress is measured by understanding, execution, and the ability to apply what you’ve learned. How you treat your training partners matters as much as what you can do.

Most of our students will never compete in a cage or ring. They practice the same fundamentals as those who do: attention, composure, sound decisions, and the ability to work through difficulty.

We develop thinking fighters. Athletes trained and coached by Brian have competed in the UFC and on Dana White’s Contender Series, and earned amateur championships at local, national, and world levels.

Our doors remain open to learning. Train with us. Cross-train elsewhere. Bring back what you discover. Good martial artists keep seeking better answers.

BLAB Training Laboratory

BLAB helps adults build a lasting practice of training.

For many, the missing piece was never effort. It was a structure they could sustain, instruction they could trust, and a place where they could keep developing.

BLAB combines skill-based training, coaching, and a focus on long-term health. Protocol Zero provides a 12-week foundation, rebuilding how you train before asking how hard you can train.

For members seeking more individualized support, the BLAB Performance Lab brings together four pillars:

Train. Fuel. Perform. Recover.

The goal is to build the strength, skills, and habits that let you participate more fully in your life.

Brian Michael Wright

Brian entered a karate school in 1980. He was six years old, and his instructor had to tie his belt for him.

He has never stopped training.

He began fighting in 1992 and went on to compete professionally in kickboxing and MMA across thirteen countries. His education included training within the Seidokaikan system in Osaka and at Andy Hug’s gym in Switzerland.

As a coach, Brian has worked more than twenty UFC corners and hundreds more across professional combat sports. He has prepared athletes for Dana White’s Contender Series and developed amateur champions at local, national, and world levels.

He also serves as a ringside analyst for Dirty Boxing Championship and writes Coach’s Corner, a column exploring combat sports and the people within them.

Those experiences shape what he teaches. They also carry a responsibility: pass forward what his instructors gave him, improve it through practice, and prepare the next generation to take it further.

Local Roots. Global Standard.

Killer B HQ is a neighborhood school shaped by decades of international training, competition, and coaching.

Some families and coaches have been with us for decades. Others are walking through the door for the first time. Each becomes part of the work: building a place where people learn, contribute, and grow.

We’re building an institution that can outlive its founders.
