1 dog or 100 it's quality over quantity over here.

Your favorite fighters favorite fighters.

No popcorn breaks when our folks are in the cage. The Scrap City Crew is just plain bad news and they'll make your momma blush when giving the interviews.

We spar every Thursday, Grapple every Monday, hit pads ever Tuesday and any gym or person is welcome to visit but you got to eat them wheaties or you'll never make it through the day. If you think you're looking for harder work as a fighter and or better conditioning come train with us, just check out a class you'll be glad you did.

Shaw Painting is the goat for all your painting needs and the owner is the toughest near 50 year old man in the county.

Blessed to get to train with the great and powerful wizard of mma Jeff Powell yesterday.

He dropped in for a class unannounced taught technique and trained very hard with the crew as well.

What a day.

If you're in the area and you think your big star bound, come see us and Powell's Martial Arts Concepts.

Coach Jeff made the journey real for me and we would love to do the same for you🙏
