About
I'm Argjent Shala, 22 years old, born and raised in Austria, Tyrol, with Albanian roots. My first MMA training was on July 3, 2021. Less than four years later, I won the FCS Amateur Championship in Dubai by TKO in the first round.
Right now I'm travelling the world, training at the best gyms. Most recently at Allstars Gym in Spain, home of Khamzat Chimaev's coaches. Every day is a step closer to the UFC.

Testimonials
"[Ramin's testimonial. Coming soon.]"
"I started with zero combat sports experience. Just casual sparring with friends and no real goal. After one session with Argjent, I was hooked, and now I train with him three days a week. He meets you at your level: we worked through my mental blocks at my own pace, and I picked up more real skills in a few months than I ever did in a regular gym. Beyond getting fitter and stronger, I've become calmer and more confident. Argjent isn't just a coach, he's someone I've grown with outside the gym too."
"Shala gave me the needed structure to approach martial arts in the right way. He teached me about mindset, technique and correct training. I learned a lot and it makes a lot of fun working with him. Not only I improved as a fighter but also as a person. I can recommend him and his coaching to anyone who wants to go to the next level. Thank you Shala!"
