Shackelford's MMA Center

This was an amazing experience! I was very nervous, and this was certainly a challenge, but the environment was very welcoming to a newcomer. Don't get me wrong, these guys are serious about their craft, but they take their time with you and the intensity really depends on what you want. Overall, it was great for my introduction, next time I'll take it up a bit! Thanks guys!

If you’ve been thinking about trying MMA but don’t know where to start, Coach JD is the man to go see at Shackelfords MMA center. I know trying something new, especially a sport like this, can be intimidating… I think we all experience a little anxiety building up the courage to trying combat sports, but from the moment I walked in I felt welcomed, no ego detected… humble, good hearted people. JD was just awesome, and the instructors were just as great. Self defense, mental health/strength, physical, spiritual… whatever your reason may be for wanting to try the sport out… this is the gym for you and your family. Check em out🤙🏼

Wanted to check out BJJ and I went to a couple place and ended up starting here. They are all great people, and make a new comer extremely comfortable. JD and the other staff there have been so friendly and welcoming. They know their stuff and how to explain what they know. If anyone is ever had the thought to try BJJ come here and try a class, you won't regret it!

A great place doing great things, I am in my 30’s and have never done any form of martial arts or wrestling. I was so nervous going in that I was hesitant to even go through with it. But let me tell you once we got started all of the fear and nerves left me and it was a great time, I’m beyond excited to start this journey with coach JD and would recommend his gym to everyone.

I’ve had an incredible experience at Shackleford’s! The family atmosphere is truly special - the instructors are not only skilled but also incredibly supportive. The sense of community and camaraderie among the students is remarkable. I felt welcomed from day one. If you're looking for a place to learn jiu jitsu and be part of a fantastic family, this is it! 5 stars all the way!
