Hello everyone!
Here is the update for today, take note there are a few important additions including dates for Summer Camp, Beach Workout, Pilsung Seminar, Tournament and more…
BRAZILIAN JIU-JITSU
We would like to welcome Mr. Don Worrell as an instructor for our Friday Night Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu class. Mr. Worrell is not only a BJJ Black Belt, with over a decade of experience, but is also a 3rd Dan Tang Soo Do black belt and former student under the late Master Louis Marvil. Mr Worrell is an excellent instructor and an all around great person. TEAM RMAI welcomes him.
For those who may or not be aware, we have a Beginner BJJ program for those 12 and older, this class is currently on Fridays at 5:00pm.
If the program grows, we may expand to other days and times. Students who are already training in our martial arts programs can add this membership for only $50 per month. This is a great opportunity to expand you martial arts knowledge to include grappling and ground fighting to be a more complete martial artist.
Regularly scheduled Black Belt Only class this Friday 6:30pm.

Incorporating the techniques in a modern approach drawing from biomechanical principles and skills derived from combat sports. Whether you study a traditional martial art and have years of experience, or whether you're just starting out and want to gain additional value from what you're training. Or even if you study a modern martial art and are looking for an interesting take on the things you might be doing for the benefit of self-protection. We welcome anyone with an open mind, willing to train together with our martial arts brothers and sisters to further each others knowledge, skills and understanding.
