Shannon Morton

OWNER/COACH

The founder and owner of Victory Combat Sports Academy, Shannon discovered her passion for martial arts in 2001 when she attended her first karate class. After many classes taken and taught, numerous competitions, and tournaments, she earned her black belt in 2004 from Sensei Darren Walters.

She partnered with a local fighter/coach in 2013 to open her first mixed martial arts gym, where she combined her background in teaching, love for fitness, and passion for combat sports. As her knowledge of the sport grew and her team solidified, she ventured out on her own to open Victory in 2019. Since then, she has continued to expand her martial arts knowledge and pursue higher levels of personal development through Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Since beginning her BJJ journey, she has competed under the IBJJF circuit, earning notable accomplishments. Through dedication to training, competition, and continuous growth on and off the mats, she has proudly earned her purple belt.
