Who We Are at
Schell Shock BJJ
Our School
Schell Shock BJJ has been a staple in Fuquay-Varina since 2017. Located at the epicenter of the Fuquay Sports Complex, we offer a variety of classes daily that cater to both individual members and families from all walks of life. We value creating a strong community in a safe environment where people feel welcomed and embraced to become a part of our team.
Our History
John Schell has been actively training and competing in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu since 2009. His tutelage falls under the Rubao Carioca affiliation, who is a part of the Joe Moreira lineage. Earning his black belt in 2018, John felt the value in imparting the knowledge that he gained in the sport by opening up his academy so that he may pass down everything that he has learned to the future martial artists. John has competed at the highest levels, and has himself both earned and coached students to world titles, MMA championship belts, and top rankings and accolades in grappling and striking.
