Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about Chad Shepherd Academy business and programs.
How much do your programs cost?
Tuition is $185 for the first student, $150 for the second, and $120 for the third. Ask us about our military, veteran, and first responder discounts.
What martial arts do you teach?
We offer a blended style of jiujitsu, Muay Thai, judo and wrestling for the full mma experience.
What age should my child start?
We offer classes starting at 7 years old. Exceptions can be made depending on level of physical and emotional maturity.
Will it increase aggression in students?
No. Training in martial arts teaches the opposite of violence and aggression. The focus is on staying calm, maintaining self-control, and behaving honorably in all scenarios in and out of the studio.
Can you get injured?
In any sport, there is a risk of injury. However, martial arts is one of the most effective exercises. The techniques and moves are closely supervised by our Instructors to ensure they are done correctly and safely, minimizing the risk of an injury.
Can I send my child with a nanny?
Yes, although we highly recommend the parent be with the student for the first lesson. This helps in their confidence and comfort level of trying something new.
Can I bring a friend to the intro lesson?
Definitely. We find that a new student who brings a friend with them has more fun and is more comfortable in their first class.
When can we start?
Our classes are on-going and members can begin their journey when they are ready.
What makes your studio different from your competitors?
There are many great martial art schools in our community and each has a unique benefit. However, we pride ourselves on teaching students to be well-rounded martial artists inside and outside of our studio. We focus on safety, fun and real world self defense and our business is consistently ranked as one of the top in the nation. Apart from the physical, our members are a close-knit, supportive community. We pride ourselves in being a martial arts family.
