SHIFT Combat Sports

One of the best gym/academies on the east coast. Coach Adam is a savant when it comes to striking for not only muay Thai, but kickboxi ng and mma. Something he has in place, that not a lot of other gyms have, is a beautifully structured program to take even the most green novice and advance them to whatever goals they would have, from competition to just wanting to get in shape. Super beginner friendly. I honestly cant recommend this place enough.

The most amazing Muay Thai gym in the 757! If you want to compete, lose weight, get in shape, learn self defense, or relieve stress this is the place to do it. Great atmosphere all coaches and regulars are super friendly. Can’t recommend this place enough.

I traveled internationally to train with SHIFT combat sports in preparation for a fight, and I have zero regrets I did - it was an incredible experience.The gym was clean, fully equipped, and the atmosphere was welcoming, professional, and fun.For the three weeks I was there, I attended bag classes, technical classes, conditioning, fight team training, and had one-on-one sessions with Kru Adam. I learnt a ton and grew as a fighter in the short time I was there.There are students of various levels, from newbies to fighters; all were friendly and welcoming. Not only were they great training partners that really pushed me, but I ended up making some lifelong friends in the process.Adam’s knowledge and passion for the fight game is evident when you meet him. His no-nonsense approach and attention to the details are fantastic, but his genuine desire to see you succeed as a martial artist and grow as a person really sets him apart. He wants his students to succeed in life.I would highly recommend checking out Shift if you want to train hard, meet some amazing people, or level up your fight skills.It makes me wish I had four arms so I could give Adam and Shift Combat Sports four thumbs up!

When I visited, it was one of the most welcoming and fun Gym I have every had the pleasure of training at.Adam is a phenomenal instructor and coach. He makes learning the Art of 8 limbs so much fun, and more importantly; I guarantee your gonna walk away from you first class learning something and wanting more!Keep crushing it SHIFT COMBAT SPORTS!

Coach Adam is very knowledgeable in Muay Thai and in all areas of martial arts, he will make you a better fighter wether you want to compete or choose not to. Also, a great team oriented gym full of people who will embrace you and push you past your limits .

Coach Adam has created something truly special at SHIFT. Everyday class is a little different but what you can expect is that knowledge and encouragement will be showered upon you. You can expect to grow mentally, physically and emotionally. It does not matter your age or your abilities, no one is left behind. I hope you find what I have found in a short time here.. another family!

I will say that I've had an amazing experience so far at Shift. I was never really a active person until I came here. Great atmosphere and great people. Coach Adam is a great teacher. All around, a great gym and will be going here for years to come. Thanks Coach Adam and Coach John for allowing me to come in and learn.

This is more than a gym to me. This is a place where I feel like I have a 2nd family. No matter what your fitness goal is, your age, your current ability is, you will always feel welcome. Coach Adam's passion for this sport really shows as he teaches and really listens to his members and helps them reach their personal goals. If you are looking for an intense workout like you never had before, want to learn a new skill, learn self defense or even maybe one day aspire to get into the ring compete this is the gym for you.

Training with Coach Adam has been a positive experience for me over the last few years. The bag class has been a fun way for me to stay active while constantly challenging myself. This gym is also truly for all experience levels. Ranging from people just wanting to get into shape all the way to active fighters training for competition. Looking forward to continuing to better myself at this gym!

Trained with Coach Adam and the rest of the Shift Fight Team. Top notch martial arts training. The Muay Thai program is second to none. Coach Adam is well respected across the Muay Thai community. Grateful to have trained with this crew. Will drop back in when I’m in the Hampton Roads area.
