Shawn and his team are pros and they run his gym in that manner. Can’t say enough good things about this place. If you want self defense or the option to take it further as a fighter, this is the place to do it in the state of Louisiana.

At Mid City MMA, you can expect expert, world class jiu jitsu, striking, and wrestling instruction. I feel like I am in a class of higher learning every time I show up. I've been training at Mid City MMA for about three years now. I've made great friends and I look forward to every class. The instructors/classes are beginner friendly, but if you're an advanced martial artist, you will not be disappointed. I highly recommend anyone who is curious about martial arts to attend a trial class. Likewise, if you're a seasoned martial artists, this is your new home gym in New Orleans.

Always a great environment. The way Shawn teaches concepts that turn into sequences is different than any instructor that teaches “moves”. I love how he awards belts based off knowledge and understand rather than just time. Every belt I received from Shawn I truly know I earned. This place makes me a better person in everyday life.

I've been training at MidCity MMA for over 2 years now, and I can't say enough good things about it. The instructors are top-notch—knowledgeable, patient, and really invested in helping you improve. It's clear they care about your progress, whether you're a beginner or more advanced. There's a great sense of community, and everyone is friendly, supportive, and willing to help each other out. It's an awesome place to train, and I always look forward to going.
