RMAI NEWS UPDATE
Hello everyone, I hope you all had a fantastic Thanksgiving holiday. One filled with family, friends, and of course lots of food and snacks (hopefully not too much…). I wanted to say that on behalf of my family and our staff, I’d like to say thank you again so much for your continued support and that we are forever grateful that you choose RMAI for your martial arts journey. I hope I speak for everyone when I say that Revolution Martial Arts Institute is more than just a place to train, but becomes like a home away from home, and all who train here are like an extended family.
Ok, with all that mushy stuff out of the way… lol, let’s get into some important information that everyone must be aware of as we close out 2024. Please make note of everything that follows. Some of it is new.

Graduation will immediately be held after testing… students must come with their best performance. THERE IS NO MAKE UP TEST IN 2025.
SPECIAL SCHEDULE ALERT!!
Due to the class size of our Young Gladiators program, we feel it’s increasingly difficult to properly give students the attention they need. In addition, many of the students in our Little Champions program is on the cusp of transitioning to the standard RMAI curriculum and might be better served in something more akin to our standard Young Gladiator program…. AND with the pending promotion of a few students to Brown and Red ranks… the need to break up the classes into smaller units is greatly needed. For the week leading up to Christmas and our Winter Break, December 16th through the 23rd we are having a special schedule in an effort to better serve the student body. If all goes well, we will make these changes permanent for 2025. (See Photo)
PLEASE, any questions or concerns with availability, or if you’re not sure where your child is supposed to attend, email me, or send me a direct message.
ALSO!! I’m pleased to announce that BUNHAE CLUB is back!!
