  • 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.

  • 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.
