What Our Students Say
Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.
Keshia M
"My son and I both attend classes through Nomad. Shane and Dan are amazing with the kids! I have nothing but good things to say about this place. They treat you like family and teach everything thoroughly! I'm so thankful to have a place like Nomad to go to and glad I took the step to take kickboxing classes! If you are debating on joining, do it! You won't regret it."
Will Biser
"Clean facility offering fun for all ages. My daughter (soon to be 7 years old) has been training under Shane for over a year. Not only is Shane teaching form, technique, but also discipline and respect while working with the kids to boost their confidence and skill. Come sit in on a class and see what it's all about."
Regis Marucci
"We started at Nomad only a few months ago. Since then, our 6 1/2 year old has really taken to the sport. The one on one he receives from Shane is key for Rocco. The facility is great with plenty of room for everyone. With having no martial art background myself, they do not make this an uncomfortable experience. We feel like family at Nomad. I would recommend to anyone looking for a worthwhile activity. The class times are convenient, and give time to get in from school, have a lite dinner, and then homework, then head to Jiu-Jitzu!"
Chris Bower
"I have trained, and competed in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu all over the world. Shane is a top notch instructor. I highly recommend you check this place out!"
