I went for a trial run this week. It's a great place. The staff is friendly and it was great working out with a group that was working for the same goals! Motivation is in the air and you are not judged by what you can't do, just encouraged to push to do your best. Would highly recommend.

The people in this gym have practically raised me. I've been training at SMA since I was a kid and the teachers have given me many life lessons I will always remember. They treat you like true family!

I can honestly say that it doesn’t matter if your a pro or a complete beginner (like myself), everyone is made to feel welcome here! My son started in the kids class about 3 months ago and I was so impressed that I signed up too! Shackleford’s is a great place to bond with your kids over Martial Arts, get in shape, relieve stress and build friendships. I highly recommend!

Last night was my first night a Shackelford's Mixed Martial Arts. I was a bit intimidated walking in, but that quickly changed. The staff and other students were very friendly and helpful. Great experience.

Our son Parker has been taking classes for approximately 3 weeks now. He loves it and the instructors and kids are great.
Terry Smith
John David Shackelford in my opinion is the best mixed martial arts coach in the tri-state area! This gym is so much more than just a place to get in shape and learn self-defense and get to the next level as a fighter or Jiu-Jitsu practitioner it is a Brotherhood of great people! I always have a great time when I go and love people I train with!
