Worked with Shannon for about 3 months before moving back home. Best investment into my personal safety I could ever make. With my weird work schedule, it was great to work 1:1 with him plus he was super flexible. Excellent instructor!! When I come back to Nashville, will gladly come back for more training.

I took 4 classes here before I moved to a new city by myself. As a young female, this class was exactly what I needed! It was simple and easy to learn. Shannon taught me so many important self-defense skills. I highly recommend taking classes here! He makes the classes customized and tailored to your skills and preferences. Super professional and very clean!!

This was my first Krav Maga class and Shannon made it fun and comfortable at the same time. He’s very knowledgeable and I left the first class with practical self defense skills I could use that day! I feel more confident in myself and looking forward to my next class. I highly recommend checking out Music City Krav Maga!

I highly recommend Shannon! I came in with a decent level of fitness but with no experience in Krav Maga or any self-defense training. I left one class feeling already so much more prepared to fight in a real-life situation. It is one-on-one training so you get full attention where you can sharpen your knowledge, skills, and tactics. I loved that it was played out realistically and not just hypothetically, so you can practice the moves with actual force. This is a must!!!

Shannon is an exceptional instructor. Through the class, he is empowering me to be instinctively protective and fight back. I like that he simulates real-world scenarios so I can learn to know how to immediately react when attacked. He is personable and very likable. With this class, I know that I will get both physically and mentally stronger so that I can defend myself when necessary. This class is something every person should do to learn how to fight back when threatened. It is also a good stress reliever. Thank you, Shannon, for making the class fun, but giving me a very good workout and self

I have been studying with Shannon for about 6 months. He is an excellent instructor and has increased my awareness and ability to respond defensively with his vast knowledge of the art and friendly but no nonsense approach. This is great class for anyone, regardless of age who wants to feel more confident and able to react to challenging situations. If you are interested in a defense class I highly recommend you try Music City Krav Maga.

I've been training weekly with Shannon at MCKM for over a year now, and it's one of the best decisions I've made. Shannon's an excellent instructor. He knows his stuff. And while he's patient, he'll make you work. And that's what you want. I've learned a great deal since I started, and I look forward to continuing my training. If you're thinking about this hard enough to read the reviews, stopping thinking, and go for it.
