Frequently Asked Questions
About our Programs in Lakeville
Do I need to be fit for this?
No, not at all! Everyone starts our classes with different levels of ability and our programs are designed to be enjoyed by ANYONE regardless of age, gender or fitness level.
I'm not very sporty or coordinated... Is that ok?
Absolutely! In fact, many students starting in our adult martial arts classes would describe themselves like that before they started. So you will fit right in!
Give yourself some time, and you will be astounded at how much you improve! You’ll find that our very experienced martial arts instructors, are trained to keep their teaching simple. So even the most uncoordinated person will develop ‘ninja-like’ skills! Come see for yourself!
Can I try
before I buy?
Yes, for Jiu-Jitsu there is a 10 day free trial and you get a free gi! For Muay Thai and Boxing we offer a free three-class trial with boxing gloves.
What should I wear to my first class?
Athletic wear such as a t-shirt and pants with no pockets or zippers for safety purposes. No jewelry!
Will my child become a bully?
Most martial arts programs rely on striking as the first line of self-defense against an attacker. In the Gracie Bullyproof program we take a different approach. All the techniques are purely defensive and utilize no strikes. Furthermore, we teach children how to defuse confrontations with words and never to initiate physical aggression. In the Gracie Bullyproof program, we teach the children how to fight fire with water so that you never have to worry about your child becoming a bully under our guidance.
RMA's youth boxing program is purely geared for sport competition and not a means for self-defense. Teaching striking to your child will not make them a bully. We teach respect above all else.
Can I watch
my child?
Of course! Parents are more than welcome to watch their children or any of the classes at RMA
Can I join with previous experience?
Yes your previous school rank is honored here, however if you are a blue belt or above in Jiu-Jitsu, at some point through your journey you will need to complete the Gracie Combative Program either in class or online.
Are private classes offered?
Yes! Schedule private sessions for any of RMA's programs by stopping at the front desk. They will count towards your progress card.
Can I compete?
Absolutely. Martial Arts is your journey and the choice to compete in Jiu Jitsu, Muay Thai, Boxing, or MMA is yours. We will support you.

do I need?
