Self‑defense is a skill you would be led to believe is universal in all martial arts. The simple definition of martial arts means "military arts", teaching a person how to defend one’s self, family, and country. The unfortunate reality is that many martial arts schools do not teach realistic self‑defense for the twenty‑first century. Everything we teach at our school is reality‑based. Our instructors work extremely hard to ensure that almost any situation you might encounter is covered in the classroom under very safe learning conditions. The training you will receive at Rival Jiu‑Jitsu will prepare you to defend yourself confidently and effectively in all manner of real‑life scenarios.
You know what they say, age is just a number! When it comes to martial arts, that couldn't be more true. No matter how old you are, there's always a place for you on the mat. Martial arts provide numerous physical and mental benefits that can enhance your overall well‑being at any stage of life. Firstly, it helps improve your flexibility, balance, and strength – crucial elements to maintain as we grow older. Additionally, martial arts training promotes cardiovascular health and boosts endurance levels. Beyond the physical benefits, engaging in martial arts activates your mind by sharpening focus, increasing self‑discipline, and enhancing self‑confidence. Moreover, participating in martial arts provides an opportunity for social interaction and building new relationships with like‑minded individuals who share a passion for personal growth and gaining knowledge.

Been working out here for a few months, it’s a great place with good instruction! I am a past practitioner and getting back into it close to 40 years old is a struggle but definitely doable no matter what your age! I highly recommend Rival for all levels of Muay Thai!

The Jiu Jitsu Gi and Muay Thai coaches are awesome!! They walk the class through concepts and techniques patiently while safety is reinforced all throughout rolls and sparring rounds.
The community has a warm culture—everyone is very supportive of each other. They also emphasize cleanliness which I truly appreciate. And lastly, the coaches rad playlist makes learning focused yet so much fun.
Haven’t been to No Gi classes personally but I heard it’s great too!
