After coming twice now I can without a doubt say I’m looking forward to returning again and again. Everyone felt welcoming, and open to help one another on learning BJJ. The instructors are very knowledgeable and can explain things coherently and concisely. If you’re nervous coming in at first, you’ll soon feel relaxed and feel the judgement-free space and community they have cultivated here.

Just got home from my first class and I could not be more satisfied or excited to get back! It is very much beginner friendly (especially today’s beginner class). The coaches, staff, and especially the other students are very helpful, knowledgeable, kind, and above all supportive. Definitely recommend giving it a shot if you’re even half thinking about it, you won’t regret it!

I went to Shakelfords MMA Center for my first Muay Thai class and had a great experience. The coaches were welcoming, took time to explain techniques, and made sure I felt comfortable as a beginner. The class was challenging but encouraging, and the atmosphere was supportive rather than intimidating. I left feeling motivated, confident, and excited to keep training.
