From the reviews
Great culture. Great atmosphere. Reasonably priced. The instructors, staff, and ownership have done an amazing job in crafting a community environment. They offer several different classes specific to age range, experience level, and area of focus to assist in furthering your personal goals.
My son (7yo) asked me if I could put him in karate. I looked for locations in my area and came across RUSH MMA and I am so glad that I decided to check them out. My son loves the kids BJJ class and I love that I can workout while he does his training.
Awesome time. I am here on business and they welcomed me with open arms. Took the No gi class and barley held my own. Lots of talented guys. The instruction is on point. If you want a serious lesson in how to not be a guard pulling punk...go to RUSH.
After taking my first kickboxing class with Bobby, I fell in love with the sport. The people (trainers, students, employees, etc.) are great to work with. It's truly amazing to be apart of a gym where people are passionate about what they do.
New to Karate? Start at Rush Mixed Martial Arts & Fitness
Rush Mixed Martial Arts & Fitness comes up as a beginner-friendly dojo, going by their listing and students’ reviews. If you've never thrown a punch or set foot in a dojo, 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 the sensei scales the intensity to you. Second, you won't be thrown into hard sparring — reputable dojos build fundamentals (stances, blocks, punches, and kicks) for weeks, and kumite (sparring) eases in gradually, with pads and control. Third, all levels and ages really are welcome — ask about a dedicated beginners or fundamentals class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out. Most dojos are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
Your first Karate class at Rush Mixed Martial Arts & Fitness
Nervous about walking into a Karate dojo for the first time? Almost everyone is, and a good sensei expects 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 stances, blocks, punches, and kicks — not hard sparring. Step to the side 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. What to bring: water, and a mouthguard if you have one — many dojos 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 and the belt your dojo awards you. Kumite (sparring) eases in gradually, once your fundamentals are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the sensei. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
