From the reviews
Love the coaches, love the staff, love sensei. So glad I joined this gym out of all the options out there. It's a real work out with real skills and I feel better than ever training here. I occasionally see pieces of the kids classes and can't wait to send my kids here too! This is a great gym for all ages!
I truly feel honored to be a part of the REAL Martial Arts family. Every week my son learns a variety of Martial Arts skills as well as important life skills. We both love this well rounded, REAL and holistic approach to training.
I’ve known Paul since 2005, and I can say without hesitation that he is one of the most professional, knowledgeable, and principled martial arts instructors I’ve ever met.
I first joined Real as an out of shape dad looking to keep active and learn a new skill. What I did not expect was the impact it would have to my life beyond just physical health.
Your first BJJ class at REAL Martial arts
Nervous about walking into a BJJ 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 basic positions and escapes with a partner — not hard sparring. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: athletic wear you can move in (or a gi if you have one); you'll train barefoot on the mats. What to bring: water and a mouthguard if you have one — many gyms lend a loaner gi for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gi (or a rashguard and shorts for no-gi) and a mouthguard. Live rolling eases in gradually, 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.
