Shaddock MMA opened in Eldersburg, Maryland, in April 2008. The goal was to provide Carroll County with a full-service boxing / MMA gym for everyone: young and old, in good shape or not-so-good, and for those wanting full-contact and those who don't. You don't need any previous martial arts or boxing experience. Our classes cover a broad spectrum of intensity levels and fitness needs, but they all share the same belief: Push yourself and you will be surprised by the results.

Shaddock MMA isn't your typical boxing gym, built in the dimly lit sub-basement of a regular gym. We aren't a Fight Club and we aren't a tai bo studio. We also aren't going to slap a ring together, give you gloves, and call that boxing training. Everyone can gain something from joining. Come today to find out for yourself!



So who comes to Shaddock MMA?

The short answer is...everyone. Everyone who wants to burn fat, improve full body strength, learn self-defense in a fun, supportive, friendly atmosphere.

More specifically, our clients are doctors, students, stay-at-home mothers, police officers, soldiers, carpenters, pretty much anyone and everyone you can think of. We aren't a typical martial arts gym, filled with Bruce Lee wannabes. Come for a free visit to find out just how different we are.
