Shumba Combat Sports Academy

“Shumba is an incredible place to train! The instruction under Professor Thompson is top-notch—his insights and attention to detail make every class when I visit a valuable learning experience. The gym has a welcoming atmosphere with great vibes, making it feel like a family. Whether you’re a hobbyist looking for a fun way to stay active or a competitor aiming for the next level, Shumba has space and support for everyone. It’s a family-oriented gym that truly fosters growth on and off the mats. Highly recommend to anyone considering BJJ!”

“Thompson and his team of instructors are world class Jiu Jitsu athletes and incredible teachers! The training room is full of amazing people. These factors in addition to the training facility being clean and comfortable, Shumba has everything you need for an outstanding martial arts journey.”

“Great family oriented atmosphere. Immediately feel like you belong here day 1. Professor Thompson and coaches give their attention to every individual that comes in to train.”

“I had a chance to train here on a visit to the DFW area. Professor Thompson provided excellent instruction and was very patient (I'm new to BJJ). All the very friendly and helpful. Very clean facility and I was very happy to be there. I hope to visit again soon.”

“Currently traveling cross country decided to contact a local BJJ academy see if I could get few rolls in. Professor Marikano was an excellent host took me in and made me feel very welcomed . No ego’s here no let’s smash the visitor mentality , great technique and taking back a lil more knowledge other clammates where just as professional as one could ask. If traveling I highly recommend you stop here and check them out if your local and on the fence of taking BJJ most definitely come check this place out. Located 2nd floor of a church with plenty of mat space . I don’t have many regrets in life but starting JUI JITSU late in life will always be one I’m 57 been training for 5 years and love it . God bless Pino”
