About Us

Great place to train for children and adults alike. My son, daughter and I love it here. This is a friendly environment. Everyone is welcoming, we learn a ton and get to implement it right the way. Our family is always looking forward to the next practice.

Slightly late review here, but wanted to thank Nick for welcoming us into the jiu-jitsu gym for my son’s 2nd birthday back in April. I was looking for a large (padded if possible) space for him to be able to run around and have fun and that’s what we got. Everyone was enjoying themselves so much, in fact, we went over the agreed time, but Nick did not rush us one bit. He expressed that his concern was everyone enjoying the experience. Great experience!

I trained there for just over a year before life got crazy. I had never wrestled or anything before so I was brand new to the sport and such. Took about 8 months off and in that time I moved to Texas. When I got to Texas I wanted to start back up and here’s my shoutout to Coach/Owner/Professor Shannon, Billy, Bryan Smith. Wanted to say thank you again for teaching me what you could in the small amount of time I was there with my buddy. As you know, I moved to Texas and just started back into jitzin and the gym dudes down here thought I was “mid level blue belt” the way I move and such. Obviously nowhere near there but I felt like that goes to show the level of expertise you teach the guys and shows you’re a step above the rest. Keep it up and thanks again. Maybe I’ll drop in when I come back up to visit.

I had my first class tonight with Coach Billy. It was a great experience with a very positive learning environment. I was also happy to see patches representing local law enforcement agencies.

I had the opportunity to stop in at Shannon Arts Jiu-jitsu during a visit with some family in the area. Although I hadn't reached out beforehand, they were extremely welcoming and I felt at home. It was a good hour of technique followed by 6-7 rounds, and they live up to the "Wrestling" name in the title--these guys love starting from standing! While I don't always love that, just due to the injury risk, everyone I rolled with was relatively controlled from the feet and didn't attack anything with unnecessary roughness. It was an excellent experience, and I picked up a few details and zero injuries--which is all the best you can ask for as a visitor! I will try and train here again the next time I am in the area.

If you want your child to grow mentally as well as physically in a caring and friendly environment, this gym is for you. My daughter has been going here daily for a few years now. She is homeschooled so I wanted her to have a physical out class. She used to be shy and unsure of herself. Now she is confident and so happy everyday to train with her friends.
