What Our Students Say

Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.

Marty Anderson

"John Schell is a thorough, patient, and supportive coach/professor. A school serious enough to prepare you for competitions, while being welcoming to novices. Everyone at our gym has a great attitude and camaraderie, which is another testament to the culture John and the other assistants have created. I’ve been very pleased to call this my BJJ home for more than a year and a half."

Jason Brinn

"If you are live in or near Fuquay-Varina, Raleigh, Cary, Apex, Holly Springs or anywhere else close then go, right now go, down to Schell Shock BJJ! John Schell LOVES Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and more than that he loves to help kids, women and men get in shape, have fun and learn an incredible self defense art! Simply the BEST!"

amjed hatu

"I stopped in on a Friday lunch class open mat and I had a great time. It was my first time frequenting this gym and I will definitely be back. The gym is super clean and organized and there’s designated changing areas. Everyone was super friendly and nice. I felt like I was at my home gym. The Jiujitsu is legit and everyone gave me a good, solid roll. I highly recommend John and his gym to anyone in the Fuquay-Varina and the surrounding areas."

Jessica Hendricks

"I just moved to the area and came here to pick jiu jitsu back up after having a baby. I couldn't have found a more welcoming and supportive gym. There are tons of women who show up every night to train so there's always someone to train with! Coaches support athletes in their goals whether it be training or competing. The owners go to nearly every single competition their students sign up for! They also have muay thai kickboxing, and kids classes."
