From the reviews
My daughter started going here for a couple month now and she loves it a lot! She was able to make friends quick and also better herself with Taekwondo. Soon afterwards I also joined the classes and I appreciate the work Master Lah and the staff are doing.
In the Wausau area for work, so I decided to drop by. Owner was super welcoming, as were all the students. Did the Muay Thai, BJJ, and wrestling class. Technique was top notch. If you live in Wausau or visiting the area, this is the gym to be at.
Whether it was by helping me lose weight, be less angry or providing me with the fundamentals of boxing, Rising Son Coach Lah Thao has unquestionably changed my life for the better. Thao’s love for the sport and desire to bring out the best in his students is contagious.
Been going here for the last 3 going on four months and honestly, I have nothing but good things to say about the place, as well as the people who are training and assisting us in class, it has been a honest pleasure going here.
Your first BJJ class at Rising Son MMA
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.
