This place is great. I’ve come on and off for a couple years now. The community that Shawn is able to bring together is fantastic. It’s a really tight and welcoming crew and is small enough to where you really get the attention in the technique that you need. Shawn is also a naturally funny guy so he makes the classes a lot of fun on top of informative! It’s also good to see that there are men and women here, so everyone can feel comfortable and get something out of jujutsu! Strongly recommend it for anyone who is curious, experienced or novice.
My son has been attending Jiu-Jitsu at Carbondale Tribal Society for a few months now, and I truly cannot say enough good things about this place. My son is on the autism spectrum and has sensory sensitivities, especially when it comes to being touched. When we first started, it was very challenging for him during his first week, he cried and felt unsure about the experience. But the instructors specially, Sean or Shawn were incredibly patient, understanding, and supportive from day one. As the weeks went on, something amazing happened. Not only did my son become more comfortable, but now he looks forward to going to class every single day. He absolutely loves his team and has built such a positive connection with his instructors and teammates, who are all truly outstanding. The level of care, discipline, and encouragement they provide is something special. You can tell they genuinely care about each child’s growth—not just in the sport, but personally as well. We’ve seen so much improvement in his confidence, his comfort with others, and his overall happiness. I am beyond grateful we found this community. Definitely a place I will always and forever recommend and support.
Tribal society is a community you can feel comfortable in regardless of who you are as person or experience level in jiu jitsu. Not only did Shawn build a loving supportive community to teach jiu jitsu but also to teach perseverance, discipline, and integrity as a human to lift up members in his community. I have been training for a little over 4 months and it has been the best decision I’ve ever made regarding my physical and mental health. Everyone at that gym is a top notch human that pushes and builds each other up through tough rolls and mat banter.
Shawn has created a great environment for training at Tribal Society. I moved to the area a little over a year ago and have trained at a few other BJJ gyms, and this place stands out. Shawn has built a culture where people support each other and are genuinely invested in helping everyone improve. He provides clear, practical instruction that makes techniques easy to understand and apply, no matter your experience level. I hope to continue progressing under Shawn's instruction! Thanks, Tribal Society, for providing such an awesome place to train and better ourselves! Let's Roll!
I am so grateful to have found such a wonderful community and experience at Tribal Society. Shawn is an incredible teacher that is guaranteed to make you laugh, feel comfortable, and ensure you have fun all whilst learning a lot. The group of women that train are strong, supportive, and sweet, and of course, so are the guys. Class is my favorite part of the day and I always look forward to it! I highly recommend trying it out even if you have no wrestling/martial arts experience because there are both so many beginners to learn with and so many advanced folks to learn from.
