5 stars says RUN, DON'T WALK to Scott Shields Martial Arts Academy! What a fantastic place to train, with Master Scott Shields to train under. He is the MAN, with real world experience and he will share all his knowledge with you! What he says WORKS, in the street and in competition. All the classes are fun and the detail you get on each technique is top notch. The guys (and girls) there are great to train with, no ego or anything and everyone is there to learn! I have been to other schools where everyone has an attitude and... read more

Best Martial Arts Training in Charlotte – I have trained at Scott Shields Martial Arts Academy for several years and my children have recently starting training there, too. Master Scott Shields is a wealth of knowledge in many styles of martial arts and he is an excellent and patient teacher. He works very hard to transfer all the knowledge he can to his students. I train in all the classes- BJJ (Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu), ACJJ (American Combat Jiu-Jitsu), JKD (Jeet Kune Do), the Fiipino Martial Arts (Kali, Silat, Escrima, Arnis)... read more

Best School EVER!!! – I am a parent and also a student of Sifu Shields. We have been there for about 2 years and LOVE IT!!! I highly recommend this school to anyone who wants to learn a martial art in a safe and friendly envorinment. They greet you with open arms and treat everyone like family. Ashley Nee is wonderful with the kids! They beg to go to class instead of wanting to stay home! I have been to a few schools over the years and I wish i would have found them years ago!

Excellent martial arts school – I have been a student at Scott Shields Martial Arts for over three years, studing Jeet Kune Do and Kali. There are classes in other martial arts available, so students have a good choice of material. The atmosphere is friendly, and there is always an instructor or senior student to help you out. There are classes for kids as well, and they seem to enjoy the classes (I wish I still had that much energy). There are frequent seminars on self defense material, for both unarmed and armed situations... read more

SSMAA is THE place to learn martial arts! – Sifu Shields and all of his instructors are incredible. Sifu Shields has so much knowledge in so many martial art styles there is never an end to the new material he can present. If you are looking to actually learn martial arts and how to defend yourself, instead of just buying different colored belts, this is definitely the place to do it. Plus, there is no attitude at this school either, from the minute you walk in you feel like you are part of the family. I've trained at numero... read more

Great school for the whole family! – My family and I love SSMAA! Our shy 6-year old is quickly coming out of her shell and making wonderful friends in her Muay Thai classes. At the same time, my wife enjoys every opportunity to practice her Triangle chokes on me in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu! ;) Sifu Shields and Ashley Nee are wonderful instructors with a wealth of knowledge! We love our 'family-time'!!

Serious Martial Art School – Scott Shields Academy offers a variety of arts to suit your tastes or preferences. He is a skilled teacher genuinely interested in students absorbing the material and becoming accomplished martial artists themselves. All material is shown and explained in great detail so you know "what " and "why" rather than learning moves & forms you're not sure what they are for. As for the disgruntled reviewers I have never heard of a Gym, martial art school, dance academy, sports league or other instruction-... read more

Best Martial Arts School Around! – I have no idea what these other people are talking about but I have really enjoyed training and learning at Scott Shields Martial Arts Academy!

Sifu Shields is an outstanding example of a tr... read more
