FREE GROUP INTRO LESSON
Someone you know been interested in trying martial arts but maybe have been too apprehensive or skeptical to make that first step? Well, I’ll let you in on a little secret, those feelings are totally normal. That’s why we’ve created a special RMAI intro class specifically for any newcomers who are interested in not only training their body but their mind and spirit as well. This will be a great chance to see what our martial arts training is all about without the added pressure of sparring black belts or doing flying headbutts through cinderblocks…we’ll save that for the second class...just kidding. So spread the word and come on out and give RMAI a try!
Friday April 11 7:00pm
