SHIFT Combat Sports

Through Shift Combat Sports i was able to achieve more than i ever realized i was capable of. Thanks to coach Adam & his coaching methods & mentorship i achieved a long-standing goal of competing several times. Coach Adam is there to help you achieve whatever it is you’re coming to the gym for - losing weight, competing, self defense, or simply learning more and falling in love with martial arts (which you will do if you train here.) All of the assistant coaches are extremely knowledgeable & when you come to your first class you’re not treated like fresh meat - you’re part of the team, and part of the family environment that Shift is well known for creating.

I’ve been training with Coach Adam for years now, and I also have a background in different martial arts. I have to say when it comes to fitness, self discipline, support, training technique, and family this is the gym to go to and the coach to train with.

This gym was so welcoming to my husband and I. I am a recent amputee who was struggling with training and self confidence. Not only did coach Adam agree to work with me in the wheelchair but he went above and beyond to research the best ways to help me. I cant wait to get my second prosthetic so I can get back in the gym!

I have worked with Adam for long time. His passion for martial arts is shown through interactions with students and his willingness to see them succeed. I highly recommend SHIFT to anyone who wants to learn for a quality instructor.

I'm new to Muay Thai and martial arts in general. The Headstart program was a great intro and now I'm really enjoying the other classes. The instruction is great and there's a lot of enthusiasm and camaraderie in the gym. There's something cathartic about hitting the bags and If an old(ish) guy like me can step out of my comfort zone and do it, you can too.

This is a good place. The coaches really care and want you to progress. The place is immaculate and well kept with good equipment. I am here from out of state for work and the people here have made me feel more than welcome. Don’t be apprehensive or on the fence; come give them a try and you won’t regret it

Great facility with professional instructors and very energetic classes. The facility is very welcoming and a great place to start your Martial Arts Journey. If you are looking for a place to train Muay Thai in the Hampton Roads area, this is THE spot.

This place has been an awesome way to work out in a community. Many people join gyms and leave, but not many people join an actual community and leave.The “gym” is really a place of gathering so Coach Adam and his assistant Coaches, Peachy, Darron, and John can teach the philosophy and sport of Muay Thai.More than anything it’s more a home and a school than it is a “gym”

Best training I had outside of being a professional football player!! Started at 315 drop down to 255High quality Training you need to tap in and be ready to compete because coach Adam will push you past your limits and if you push pass those he’s going to make you push even harder past those limitsCome get some Work!!!!

They have a amazing facility! I’m not always to make it in as often as I like due to work. But when can I’m welcomed with open arms. Coach Adam is great coach to have he’s able to work with you, breaking the techniques down for you to better understand them and get the perfect form on anything you do. Him and his staff work around or with injuries being sure to help the injury heal and not worsen in my situation. But don’t let that fool you everyone HAS to put in the work to get better!!
