"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🤙🏼"
