From the reviews
I’ve been training since 2020. I started with the kickboxing class to try to shake up my workout and revamp my weight loss while Gaining mobility. I soon started jujitsu and got hooked! The instructors are wonderful and the gym has a very welcoming atmosphere.
Amazing place to train. Very welcoming. Hard training. I go for Jiu Jitsu and their Jiu Jitsu is top notch and a lot of good people to train with. You learn self defense and a sport all in one. Kids Jiu Jitsu program is amazing.
I practice Brazilian Jiu Jitsu here and have participated in kickboxing classes. It is a great place to train. Abby Malone, owner, is a great leader and instructor. The trainers are knowledgeable, patient, and helpful. Everyone is friendly and supportive. You are made to feel like family here.
The best MMA gym in Arkansas. Everyone is so welcoming and makes you feel like family. Amazing place to bring your kids. Coming from somebody who’s never done any kind of sport growing up, lots of social anxiety, the instructors and members are willing to step aside and break things down for you to understand, they…
New to BJJ? Start at Revolution Mixed Martial Arts
Revolution Mixed Martial Arts comes up as a beginner-friendly gym, going by their listing and members’ reviews. If you've never rolled or set foot on a mat, that's exactly who a good beginners program is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit or flexible to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and coaches scale the intensity to you. Second, you won't be thrown into hard rolling — reputable gyms build fundamentals (positions, escapes, and basic submissions) for weeks, live rolling eases in gradually, and tapping early keeps every roll safe. Third, all levels really are welcome — ask about a dedicated beginners or fundamentals class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out, and leave your ego at the door. Most gyms are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
Your first BJJ class at Revolution Mixed 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.
