The Inferno Training and Performance Center

The Inferno Training and Performance Center operates at 52 N. Main Street in Marlboro, NJ. Founded in 2011 by co-owner Steven Barnett, the academy serves martial arts practitioners across Monmouth County. Barnett began training in 2005 and received his Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt from UFC veteran Kurt Pellegrino, holding a second-degree black belt rank alongside teaching experience across international locations. The academy's training system integrates Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Muay Thai kickboxing, and mixed martial arts. Adult grappling classes cover core fundamental concepts where leverage enables practitioners to control and submit larger opponents. Typical sessions incorporate technical demonstrations covering sweeps, escapes, and submissions, accompanied by positional drills and supervised live training. Youth development features dedicated martial arts classes split into age groups for children ages three to six and seven to twelve. Children cultivate discipline, coordination, and practical self-defense capabilities in an organized environment. The facility also provides one-on-one introductory lessons and specialized fitness training.
