ADDITIONAL DETAILS

Martial arts typically becomes a journey to better ones self over time.

Our school welcomes students to enjoy that journey, embrace the ups and downs that come with improving oneself, and know that we too face those challenges and triumphs in the martial arts.  Consistent effort, over time – PAYS OFF!!

Our school chooses to display tuition rates on an a weekly basis.  RMA tuition is calculated on an annual basis as that is the way that 99% of our clients experience it due to the goal setting and growth mindset that our parents have for their children.  By popular request we have adopted the all inclusive weekly payment model to help simplify family budgeting.

Our youth martial arts tuition includes all services and fees required to participate in our program and does not require students to arbitrarily remain in the program for any reason beyond a reasonable 30 day notice.  No testing fees, belt fees, seminar or class fees, no long term contracts and no exit fees.

“He’s kind, polite, supportive and encouraging of everyone else… I believe very much that this change has come from you specifically, from RMA and the rest of the staff.  You have treated Kaiden like he was a role model, like he was wonderful and exceptional and shown him that kind of respect that he is showing others.
