Whether you have been training for years or starting out fresh like me, everyone learns at the same pace collectively as a team, which I appreciate a lot. The staff, the community, the coaches and the members are all positively supportive and have amazing energy! I felt welcomed on my very first day and always look forward to coming to class every week.

SOGMA has been a really great place for my son to grow in discipline, confidence and of course his…read morephysical abilities. I enrolled him over a year ago when he was just 3 1/2 years old. The first class was free and was an assessment to gauge if he would fit well in a class setting. Fortunately, he was able to follow instructions and we've been going since! He absolutely loves it there! All of the coaches are awesome and will really take the time to teach the littles correct form. It's really a friendly family environment, Coach Cliff and Miss Deb are always so welcoming and their daughter "Sissy" is my son's fav! Fun fact: They call my kiddo "Dinosaur" because when he first started he was so shy and didn't know how to make friends so he'd roar at everyone lol it just basically stuck! Overall I'd definitely recommend SOGMA for anyone wanting to get their kiddos into martial arts, I'm sure they'd love it as well!

Coach Jamie and Coach Isaac really pay attention to detail when we're training. They make adjustments to our technique when we need it, they motivate us during work outs, and they create a safe space to learn and grow. I am happy with the calisthenic workouts, pad work and advice they have provided. They really create a family environment! The community at RCA reflects this. I am excited to continue my Muay Thai journey with RCA!

The class started with a warm up which is very good at reducing injuries. The movements and strikes were explained in detail and then demonstrated. Students were carefully observed and given feedback on how they were performing. Praise if doing well and helpful critique if they needed improvement. There was an positive atmosphere in the class and everyone worked together as a team. I immediately signed up after observing the class. They do not lock you into a long term contract. You can go month to month if you'd like. That was refreshing. Their rates are very reasonable for the quality of instruction you are receiving. I went to my first class the next day and received excellent instruction on striking and defense. It was a very good workout as well as teaching self defense and the art of Muay Thai. I will be a student here for a long time. F.Y.I. - they also offer a cardio kickboxing class that'll get you in shape quickly. Give them a try, I highly recommend it.

I enrolled my two boys (4 &7) into the Academy after being referred to them by a neighbor. I was…read morenervous at first because my boys have never participated in Martial Arts; however, the instructors, owners and other parents were very welcoming. Not only are they teaching Martial Arts, but they also teach life skills which help keep the kids engaged and focused in class and outside in the real world. My two boys have been going the life skills class, MMA, Kickboxing and BJJ since October and it is rewarding seeing them progress with the help of their instructors. I especially like that the kids need to earn their stripes in order to rank up and they do not get stripes just because it's "time" to get them. They instill discipline, focus and caring for one another in order to progress. I highly recommend this academy!
