From the reviews

Great place. I’ve been training here for about a year and a half. Laid back approach with a group of folks who are serious about the progress of each individual. Great coaches and fun atmosphere. I’m 35 and I’m in better shape than I was at 25! I wish I had discovered jiu jitsu much sooner!

★★★★★ — Jack, Sep 2024

Great place to train jiu jitsu, wrestling, martial arts. Offers classes for kids and adults. Very welcoming. Good instruction. If you are considering jiu jitsu, I recommend Shannon Arts

★★★★★ — Alexander, Oct 2022

A wise coach once said that one's reaction should be the same to losing as it is to winning. Not to get all philosophical and junk, but that's the kind of life-stuff my kids and I have been privileged to being a part of since becoming members about a year ago: Be in competition with one's own personal best and always…

★★★★★ — Jennifer, Oct 2025

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely Outstanding Jiu-Jitsu Studio! I can’t say enough wonderful things about this jiu-jitsu studio! My 6 year old has absolutely thrived here — not only has their confidence grown tremendously, but they’ve also developed such a genuine love for the sport.

★★★★★ — Megan, Oct 2025

Your first muay thai class at Shannon Arts Fight Sports

Nervous about walking into a muay thai gym for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good coaches expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling the basics on pads and bags — not fighting. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: shorts or athletic wear and a t-shirt; you'll train barefoot on the mats. What to bring: water and hand wraps if you have them — many gyms lend gloves for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gloves, wraps, a mouthguard, and shin guards. Sparring is optional and comes later, once your fundamentals are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the coach. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.

Muay thai is a contact sport. Ease in, listen to your coaches, and if you have any injuries or health concerns, mention them before class and check with a doctor if you're unsure.
