Bubbling right in the heart of the United States is the land of New Jersey. It’s not as big as Texas, nor as loud as New York, but don’t let its size fool you, for it’s as feisty as a chili pepper. This is a state that gives you the wind of the ocean, the calm of the countryside, and the hustle of city life, all rolled into one. Now, let's meet the Jersey Jumping Jellybeans! They're a group of fearless youngsters who've taken up boxing - not to battle monsters or aliens - but to challenge themselves and to stay fit. You see, in New Jersey, kids are not just about pizza and video games. They’re about fire in their belly and thunder in their fists. Leading the pack is Captain Jabbington, a ten-year-old with a magical boxing glove named “Glovy.” Glovy, with its sparkling laces, isn't just any boxing glove. It talks! It guides them through their boxing routine, tells the most hilarious knock-knock jokes, and even sings lullabies (quite horribly, but don't tell Glovy that). Knockout Nina is another member of the Jellybeans. She has a wicked right hook and a contagious giggle that makes even the grumpiest of grumps chuckle. She's known for her punchy comebacks and her hilarious puns - "Why don't boxers have time? Because they always wind up punching the clock!" Yes, New Jersey may be a tiny speck on the world map, but it's got big hearted kids who know how to throw a punch and how to take one. They are the Jersey Jumping Jellybeans - boxing, laughing, and becoming the best versions of themselves.

IN 2001, THE LORD BEGAN TO MOVE IN ORDER TO MAKE A DREAM BECOME REALITY. AN OPPORTUNITY AROSE FOR A MINISTRY TO PURCHASE A PARTICULAR PIECE OF LAND OWNED BY THE DUPONT CORPORATION. THIS FORMER DUPONT POWDER PLANT SAT ON APPROXIMATELY 1,200 ACRES OF LAND NEAR GARDENDALE, ALABAMA. IN SPITE OF SKEPTICISM FROM PEOPLE, GOD HAD PLANS FOR THIS LAND. IN 2008, THE MINISTRY WAS BLESSED WITH THE FULL 1,200 ACRES OF LAND AND IT IS NOW KNOWN AS CORNERSTONE RANCH. At Cornerstone Ranch, God was faithful and true to His purpose. Starting in 2001, He began to move and create an opportunity for a dream to become a reality. The Dupont Corporation owned a former powder plant which sat on 1,200 acres of land near Gardendale, Alabama. Despite people's skepticism, God had His own plan for the property. In 2008, the ministry was blessed with the full 1,200 acres and with God's grace, the dream became a reality. Cornerstone Ranch stands as a testament to God's faithfulness and grace.
The “Nicholas Scott Catone Training Center” named after Nick’s late son is a 31,300 square foot state of the art training facility located in Bricktown NJ, and is a Ricardo Almeida / Renzo Gracie affiliate gym. We first opened a 3,200 square ft. facility on September 18, 2010. The following year, in November of 2011, the academy expanded to a 5,200 square ft training facility. Just two years later in November of 2013 we expanded a second time to 8,000 square ft. facility. On December 19, 2017 Nick Catone purchased the building we now occupy, which opened its doors September 8, 2018 on Nick’s late son Nicholas’s 3rd birthday who unexpectedly passed away at the age of 20 months on May 12, 2017. The beautiful facility was built and now stands in memoram of his son Nicholas.
