RMAI NEWS UPDATE
Hello everyone… Happy New Year! As we begin our first full week of classes in the new year, just want to remind everyone that we’ve adjusted the schedule slightly to allow for a White Belt only class.. This class will help shape beginners with tailored lessons to their experience level. In addition, the Orange through Brown class will reflect a quicker, more dynamic pace to challenge the students! If you have any questions, or issues with the schedule… see a staff member right away.
Also, another reminder that this week is STRIPE week! Get your training in, and work hard to get leveled up. Remember, just attending class is not enough to be rewarded with the stripe… knowing the material, and executing at as high a level as possible is the key. Students should understand that the question we get a lot after class “Can I show you my ____?” Is usually met with a ‘no’. Students should perform their best to receive stripes… IN THE CLASS!
…and furthermore. (this is directed towards the parents) Do your best to arrive in class ON TIME! Let’s start 2026 with a good habit of arriving in time for the ‘Bow in’ at the start of class.

Hello everyone, I hope you’re all doing well. One more day until Turkey Day 2025! A few quick reminders. We are CLOSED for Thanksgiving Holiday. Thursday, Friday and Saturday there will be NO classes. It’s important to take time to reflect on the things we are thankful for. I am ever grateful for those of you who chose RMAI as the place for you to travel in your martial arts journey and those who have been loyal supporters in our mission for years on end.
That being said, make sure you make it in this week for some good training and a hard workout so we can enjoy all the food and treats guilt free on Thursday.

Good morning everyone. A few important updates and reminders… here we go.
THURSDAY 10/2/25 – Today’s 4:00pm BJJ class with Evani Chavez is cancelled for today. We will resume regular BJJ class tomorrow (Friday).
VIP CLASS: Next VIP class is on Saturday 10/4 at 9:00am, Initial focus will be on nunchaku. The second half of class will be devoted to the VIP members playing the role of assistants/participants in the launch of our new program, the VORTEX SQUAD (more on that below) Technically the class is over at 10:00am, but the students will be permitted to stay past 10:00am if they are enjoying it and if we run over time. Part of VIP training is getting a little experience in demonstrating techniques, and eventually leading small groups (like mini-instructor assistants)
RMAI VORTEX SQUAD OFFICIAL LAUNCH– FREE CLASS!!
A program months in the making, now I feel as though we can officially launch! Vortex Squad is a martial arts themed activity which uses karate techniques and drills in a fun, high-energy, and exciting way. Similarly to how we incorporate obstactle courses and games in our Little Champions class, the VORTEX SQUAD is a class that expands on this method of learning in a less strict, more informal, fun way. We are officially launching this class with a FREE trial on Saturday 10/4/25 at 9:30am. This class is open to EVERYONE (not just RMAI Members) ages 3-10. We are capping the class at 25 kids, so if siblings or friends want to try the class, reserve your spot below.
