From the reviews

RDCA MMA has been my second home and family for the past ten years. When I started I was a very shy and timid girl, they welcomed me with open arms and were able to transform me in to this strong (mentally and physically) independent woman.

★★★★★ — Julia, Apr 2019

Our daughter started karate on June 2016, we have loved it since day one. Sensei Robert has a charismatic way to teach discipline, respect and confidence. He tells stories at the beginning of the class that captivate not only the kids, but also the parents who are sitting there, watching their kids.

★★★★★ — Silvia, Apr 2019

My little brother went to this dojo MANY years ago. I always stayed with him (as per my mother's request) and watched his class. He was a CRAZY kid with hella ADHD and everyone had trouble containing his very large personality and excessive energy.

★★★★★ — Mariana, Apr 2019

The Academy of Martial Arts is not only the ultimate black belt experience but it is also the ultimate experience for life. More than learning to fight and defend myself, I have learned to evolve as a person, take a journey inward and redefine myself for better habits, a healthier lifestyle and more confidence.

Your first muay thai class at Academy of Martial Arts, RDCA MMA

Nervous about walking into a muay thai gym for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good coaches expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling the basics on pads and bags — not fighting. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: shorts or athletic wear and a t-shirt; you'll train barefoot on the mats. What to bring: water and hand wraps if you have them — many gyms lend gloves for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gloves, wraps, a mouthguard, and shin guards. Sparring is optional and comes later, once your fundamentals are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the coach. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.

Muay thai is a contact sport. Ease in, listen to your coaches, and if you have any injuries or health concerns, mention them before class and check with a doctor if you're unsure.
