As someone who was completely new to combat sports, SHIFT really knows how to make beginners feel welcome while also challenging them greatly.

Shift Combat Sports is an amazing place for great teaching, discipline, workouts, and atmosphere. Coach Adam is a master of his craft and does a great job breaking down everything that is taught. I love how this gym is great for those who are new, moderate, or experts in martial arts or if someone is looking to revamp their workout style and overall fitness and health.Additionally, all those that are within the gym have great attitudes and are great people to be around. With the teaching, the overall group of people provide a great mix of discipline, hard work, fun, comradery, and family, with Coach Adam right at the helm.Anyone looking to join a great martial arts gym, look no further and sign up today with Shift Combat Sports!

Before writing this, I purposely waited a few months to really get an idea about this gym. It's known that you get a sort of high when you first start, but that can easily fade away over time. However, this place automatically felt different. From day 1 to day 60, the energy has remained the same!Due to the gym being small (and fairly new), this place practically bleeds teamwork. From beginners to fighters, everyone helps one another in their own way. From their dedicated coaches and intense classes, this hobby quickly turned into an all-time interest for me. I was skeptical at first but the gym holds zero judgment and it's all about getting better and punching harder.This place has a healthy amount of dedication and motivation towards their students alone, which is why they easily deserve five stars!
