Shaddock MMA Martial Arts Training Student Reviews

Excellent class for all levels. The coach really cares about his students. My son struggles socially and the coach has gone above and beyond to make him feel comfortable and to encourage him to keep going. His classes are fun yet informative. He demands respect in an age appropriate manner and touches on a lot of anti bullying principles. Homeschool classes during the day are now offered! We also like the relaxed make up policy so we know if we are sick or on vacation that we can make up extra days to get the full amount of time we pay for! Highly Recommend!

I love this place. I've been a member for the last 15 years. Coach Shaddock is very courteous and professional. No matter your skill level or discipline, he will work with you. If you want a great workout or a sparring session, this is the place for you.

We signed my kindergartener up after they were threatened while riding the school bus home. This place is perfect for teaching your kid real-life self defense. Not only do they learn the moves, but they practice drills on what to do if someone starts bullying you. The classes are a great balance of learning the moves and fun games. 3 years later, I’m confident that my child has the skills to defend themselves if they need to.

We've had an incredible experience at Shaddock MMA! Coach Shaddock is not only skilled in martial arts but also truly invested in helping kids grow both mentally and physically. My child has gained so much confidence, strength, and discipline since joining the program. He creates a positive and encouraging environment, which makes learning fun and engaging. It's not just about fighting techniques; he focus on life skills that my child can carry with them in and out of the gym. Highly recommend this gym for any parents looking to help their kids develop into strong, confident individuals.

Best mma gym in the area. Coach shaddock is constantly updating and improving the gym. I’ve never attended a class and regretted going, and have met a ton of good friends at the gym. This is a perfect place to train no matter what experience level you will make big improvements.
