“Last night was my first night a Shackelford's Mixed Martial Arts. I was a bit intimidated walking in, but that quickly changed. The staff and other students were very friendly and helpful. Great experience.”

STILL THINKING IT OVER?

THE HARDEST PART IS WALKING IN.
WE MADE THAT PART FREE.

It is normal to hesitate. Walking into a room of people who seem to know what they are doing, when you are not sure you are in shape, or whether martial arts is still for you — those doubts stop most people from ever trying. The free class exists for exactly that reason: you can walk in, see what training is really like, and decide with nothing at stake but an hour.

Nobody in your first class expects you to perform. You will move at your own pace, pick up one thing well, and leave knowing a little more than when you walked in. That is what a first class is for. Jiu-jitsu, Muay Thai kickboxing, and MMA each offer a different kind of challenge — the free class is how you find which one fits. Not sure yet? Explore the style pages above, or choose “Not sure” on the form and figure it out with us.

At Shackelford’s Mixed Martial Arts Center, the offer is a free class in one of these three disciplines. You can request your free class using the form above or call 901-582-5558 to ask questions. After you send the form, we will call you to confirm eligibility, a class time, and what to bring.

BEFORE YOU STEP IN

GOOD QUESTIONS.
CLEAR ANSWERS.

Is it really free?

Yes — the offer is a free jiu-jitsu, Muay Thai kickboxing, or MMA class. Nothing is charged on this site and no payment is required to ask. Any eligibility limits or class restrictions will be listed in the free class terms before booking opens.

I have never trained martial arts. Will I be out of place?

Every experienced person in that room started exactly where you are now. A first class is about showing up and trying, not performing. Beginner class options and any experience requirements will be confirmed before booking opens.

What if I am out of shape?

You do not have to be in shape to try a class — showing up is the starting point, and you move at your own pace. Fitness results vary from person to person. Your first class is a chance to see how your body responds, not a test you can fail.

I do not know which style to pick.

That is what the “Not sure” option is for. You can also explore the jiu-jitsu, Muay Thai, and MMA pages to compare the three. The free class is a no-cost way to find the style that fits.

Will I get hurt?

Training is taught progressively, and your first class is an introduction — not a competition. Exactly what your first class will include will be confirmed before your visit, so there are no surprises.

Am I too old? Too young?

The inquiry form is for adults 18 or older, or a parent or legal guardian inquiring for a minor. Minimum ages and class eligibility for each program will be confirmed before booking opens. If you are an adult wondering whether it is too late — trying a free class is the cheapest way to find out.

Do I need my own gear?

You do not need any equipment to ask about a free class. What to wear and bring will be confirmed before your first visit, so you will not have to guess or buy anything up front.

When are classes?

Adult classes: jiu-jitsu Monday and Wednesday at 7pm in Hernando; in Olive Branch, jiu-jitsu Tuesday and Thursday at 7pm and Muay Thai kickboxing Tuesday and Thursday at 8:20pm. MMA class times will be confirmed by the gym.

What happens after I ask for my free class?

Someone from Shackelford’s MMA will contact you to confirm eligibility and a time that works for you. There is no obligation to join — you can simply come try the class. Expect the call from 901-582-5558, and save it as “Shackelford’s MMA” so you recognize it.

Is there any pressure to sign up?

No. A free class is a chance to try before you decide anything. No membership is required to ask about it, nothing is charged through this site, and the choice after class is entirely yours.
