What Current Shaddock MMA Students are Saying:
-
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!

Coach Shaddock is great with the kids both in guiding them through the moves and pushing them to be their best. The classes are a great balance between learning the moves and fun games that use the skills their taught. I appreciate that students from multiple skill levels all participate in a single class; this allows the higher lvl students to teach moves and the newer students to both be able to see them perform by their age group and be challenged in performing them with opponents. If you're considering doing some trial classes, you won't regret it.
