Judo was the first martial art in the Olympics. The objective in Judo is to either throw or take down one’s opponent or control and submit via arm lock or choke hold. Judo is an off-shoot of Jiu Jitsu, and was the original art taught to the Gracie family of Brazil, who later founded the original concept for the UFC in America. A major principle of judo is the use of leverage, balance and timing to defeat larger, stronger opponents. Remember: 100% of street fights and brazilian jiu jitsu competitions start standing.
REV MMA has one of the friendliest and warmest environments you will ever experience in any fitness or martial arts facility.
None of this will prevent you from improving in Judo – in fact, if you experience any of these factors in your daily routine–then you MUST train!
Our Judo classes are offered exclusively through our Brazilian Jiu Jitsu program.

The #1 most common excuse we hear. Many people think they need to get in shape before they come to train. It’s not about who you are or used to be, it’s about the decision to make a better choice right now to be a better version of your future self.

Statistically speaking, martial arts training is safer than soccer, baseball, and more popular sports. Every sport has the potential for injury. This is why we are EXTRA careful when we run our classes, and only use expertly trained ADULT instructors, have matted floors and walls and are hyper vigilant during training. Don’t like to get hit? Neither do we, MOST of our classes can be done with no striking to the face or body.
Everyone who looks like they know what they are doing, joined us without knowing anything, just like YOU! Every student has their first day and those feelings when starting to learn something new are unavoidable. As an established facility, we are used to successfully and safely integrating new students EVERY DAY in our beginner friendly classes and you will be fine.
You would be surprised how common this is and how many people join every day with an existing knee/shoulder/back etc. injury. If you are unsure if your condition is serious or not, check with your doctor, otherwise our coaches can always give you an alternative exercise if you have a limitation that you need to work around.
Yes! Martial arts were designed for smaller, less athletic people to defend themselves against larger, more aggressive attackers. It’s not the size of the dog in the fight that matters, but the fight in the dog. Work ethic, discipline and character are more important than athleticism.
As you probably know, commitment and dedication are major factors in accomplishing goals, we completely empathize with your being unsure when starting out. This is why we offer money back guarantees which can be laid out in your initial consultation with a Program Manager.
Every day you wait to start with us is time wasted where we can quickly get your fitness and strength level up to where you need it for the martial arts training you are looking to do. We take care of your fitness in our classes so you don’t have to outside of our classes. A year from now you’ll wish you started today.
