I knew we'd eventually get there, I remember talking about it with Brennan 5 years ago when we first opened....

TEEN CLASSES!

Time flies, especially when you're an adult. Teens face a unique challenge when it comes to martial arts training. I mean, the martial arts have so much to offer for teens. Discipline, fortitude, perseverance, and learning the benefits of hard work to name a few. In a practical sense, it also offers them a new set of peers and mentors. Consistent hobbies with awards and achievements also look good on college applications.

However, teens are not kids. They don't want their training watered down, they don't want cheesy games, but they may also not be ready for adult classes. This is especially true for teens who might be mentally mature but physically small.

We are now offering teen classes Tuesdays and Thursdays 5:30-6:15

Special pricing for teens is available

April Events!

4/11/2019

- Family Class is moved to Fridays from 4:00-4:45

- UFC Night is April 13th! All of RPMA is invited, so if you want to come text me for details

-Notice the prize shelf? If you bring in a friend to try out class, you and your friend can pick something off the shelf. Think about how much fun you have here and how it has impacted you. We all want that for our friends! Plus, the more people here the better it is for your training. Different body types, takes on training, and insights help all of us.

- If you're interested in Summer Camps, make sure you reserve a spot for your kiddos. Our camps fill up fast and we limit the size to ensure quality.

Nerf Battle Night Postponed

1/18/2019

We are supposed to get hit with a serious snowstorm here this weekend, so Nerf Battle Night is postposed until Next Weekend, January 26th. Stay safe everyone! Please call or text with any questions.

Nerf Battle Night!

12/3/2018

Nerf Battle Night is awesome!!!!

Kids bring in their arsenal, experience two hours of a nerf war free-for-all, eat pizza, and end with a team game. It might seem like a silly thing to do- but we do have reasons for hosting so many of these.

Kids don't have a ton of highly active, slightly rough, and fun activities. Not all kids play sports. Not all schools have a strong PE program. And not all kids enjoy playing outdoors during the winter- which in Rochester- is a long friggin time! ❄🌨❄⛄ Nerf War gets kids up and running, jumping, sprinting, and diving- and they love it!!!

If you missed the last one, make sure you come to our next one! No obligations to sign up, and it's open to all.

Saturday January 19th
5:30-7:30

Kids bring their guns (they just need to shoot the blue and orange darts)
Eye protection
$5

We are happy to now be offering morning Jiu Jitsu classes!

Congratulations to everyone who tested in Judo this week! And special thanks to everyone who came out to participate in our Open Randori.

MMA Training

4/16/2018

I think almost everyone who watches UFC or even amateur MMA fights wonders what it would be like to train and fight like that.

Mixed martial arts training is excellent for those looking to get in shape and for people who want a dynamic workout experience. Finding a good MMA gym is essential for those looking to actually fight.

While we don’t have MMA Classes, we do have specific programs that you can train in and use for MMA. We also have fight training specific for MMA rules. Our kickboxing classes and Jiu Jitsu are perfect for fitness and actual fight training.

Positivity in Training

4/10/2018

I think it’s super important to surround yourself with positivity wherever you can. Work, friends, and certainly your gym / martial arts studio / dojo. We may not have much of a choice when it comes to who we work with, but your hobbies should be free of toxic people.

You should leave your gym feeling better than you did when you entered it. Granted, sometimes adversity happens. Like a move you practiced didn’t work. Or maybe your partner accidentally kicks you in the jaw. But overall, your gym should be a positive experience.

Are you you in the Rochester Cobbs Hill Park area? Come try a class and check us out! 🥋❤️🥊

The class is open to all experience levels and all gyms! We’ll be covering tactics, drilling, and we’ll roll as well.
