Roy Ware
"Started jujitsu here 2 years ago the people in the gym are all wonderful people they will help and work with you til you get it .Shannon is a great person that will push you to you’re limits because he cares about you as a person not just jujitsu"
Chris Sinesky
"If you are looking to get into Jiu-jitsu, I would HIGHLY recommend True Art! Coach Shannon is Amazing! My son has been attending for over 2 years now! He was in the youth program and now has transitioned into the adult classes. He really enjoys it, and it has really helped him. I don't think you will be disappointed in the results!"
Fluffy Bunny
"I've been coming to this gym since 2020. Shannon is an incredible instructor and as a woman I appreciate that the environment he creates is safe and welcoming. I'm a very competitive person and love the competition style training that is offered here. Being a woman I don't feel like I'm treated any differently and that my training and progress is valued just as much as everyone else in the room. The growing number of women coming to this gym is a testament to Shannon's integrity of creating a safe space for everyone. Also, from a business standpoint Shannon is VERY reasonable. You get charged a flat rate per month, can come in as much as you want, you don't have to sign up on an app or anything, no late fees or cancelation fees, and all memberships are month-to-month; no 6 month or 12 month contracts. This is a gesture that I very much appreciate and is difficult to find nowadays. I know of other gyms where it seems like they just want your money. This is not Shannon's mentality at all; he just wants you to train and get better."
Kirsten Apgar
"I train regularly at True Art and absolutely love being there. I have only been training for a year, but I can tell we have some incredibly talented people that train here and I feel so lucky to be able to train alongside of them. I started BJJ to help manage my aggression and it has worked ten times over. I am so much more relaxed and have a ton more confidence. I love the intense workout and I also love that no matter how bad my day has been, I ALWAYS feel better after a class."
