I trained at Shaddock MMA for 6 months before moving away from the area and I can say that it was the best martial arts gym I have ever been a part of. All of the other students and instructors are extremely helpful and respectful to beginners and experienced martial artists. I was just getting into MMA and was surprised to be personally worked with and coached from my first day at the gym to my last. There is a strong team atmosphere at the gym which is hard to find in a sport which can be so ego-driven. I can say without a doubt that I grew significantly as a martial artist and greatly enjoyed my time at Shaddock MMA. I would recommend it to anyone.

You could not ask for a better trainer or gym. With great equipment and great Pro style training, you'll get in shape or get fight ready in no time! On top of that, John is a great guy that really helps out the community in addition to being an amazing coach. Having been trained by other coaches, I know the difference between a good coach looking out for your best interests and one just looking for your money. Shaddock MMA is simply the best bet for anyone looking to get trained properly and with care.

I've trained with John ("Bones") for several months now. I'm 42 and was looking to get back into shape and try boxing which - something I have always wanted to do. His personal training sessions are an excellent workout and he presents a varied training program specifically tailored to everyone's abilities and goals. Having never tried a boxing/mma gym before myself, I highly recommend Shaddock MMA to people of all skill/age levels - particularly to novices who have always wanted to try this type of training but have never gotten off of the couch to do it.

I regularly attended two of John "Bones" Shaddock classes. They were intense, but not so much so that I couldn't catch on or get any benefit--I'm 45. I then moved into Brazilian Jiu Jitsu with him. I had been to several gyms before, but I only started learning it when I worked with "Bones". He was able to work with me for a program to suit my needs and schedule. His prices for classes and individual instruction are more reasonable than any in the Reisterstown area. I highly recommend the Shaddock Mixed Martial Arts Academy.
