Natalie Darling
"Shield has been AMAZING for my 6 year old son and his progression in BJJ. The class size is perfect, the coaches are amazing, and Professor Johnny is not only extremely knowledgeable but he is also great with the kids and makes class enjoyable. We highly recommend Shield for anyone (any age) looking for a gym to join."

Brittney Judy
"My husband has been training BJJ at Shield for a little over a year now and a few months ago we decided to enroll our oldest in the kids class. From day one, the instructors and fellow students have been incredibly welcoming and supportive. The coaches are highly skilled, with years of experience, and they break down techniques in a way that’s easy to understand, no matter your skill level or age. They foster a great learning environment where everyone feels comfortable asking questions and trying new things! We also love the fact that the gym provides classes that our entire family can join/enjoy. I highly recommend Shield to anyone looking to get themselves or their kids into BJJ or improve their game in a positive welcoming environment!"
