Frequently Asked Questions

I’ve never trained before, is this for me?

Yes! Martial Arts is for everyone. Our Fundamental classes will start you off on the right track. No experience or fitness level required. Now is the perfect time to come try it out.

I’m kind of nervous. I want to get in shape. Do I need to fight? Will I get hurt?

Nerves are normal! Training can be very safe and no one is forced to spar/compete/fight. Our fundamental classes are meant for fitness and technique. If you’re interested in sparring/competing/fighting, we have our Evolve and Flow Programs which offer a more advanced approach with Live training included!

What should I bring to my first class?

Wear comfortable clothing. Bring a water bottle and perhaps a change of clothes. Our facility has changerooms and showers if you’d like to rinse off after training!

What is a typical class like?

A typical class begins with a 10-15 min warm-up to get the body primed for training. Depending on the class and program, you’ll then learn a few techniques and be given some time to practice the moves at your own pace and intensity. Each class is designed to challenge you, get the heart rate elevated and keep you wanting a little more!

This is such a great school to train at. The beginners clearly have a strong understanding of fundamental principles as well as a good understanding of how to train safe. The comp team is not only high-level but provides a highly positive training environment. Additionally, the space is well-maintained and immaculately clean. I hope to come back in the future.

I was in town from NY and stopped in to do some training. I met with Professor Adam Gignac who is a super friendly, extremely knowledgeable and overall just a good man. The facility has many individual changing rooms with showers and toilets that were kept in immaculate condition.
If you're into yoga they also have a separate room with classes.
The first day was like a flow roll for 2 hrs. I learned that I need to remember "Position over Submission"
The second day I learned a sneaky armbar from side control. It's a really mean submission.
Thank you Adam and Renzo Gracie Orlando for treating me like family. Oss!

I am in town from Tampa and I got the opportunity to train at Team Renzo Gracie Orlando. It was a great experience. Great culture as well as structured technical skills. Any time I’m in Orlando I will be stopping in to do a class.

I started doing yoga almost two months ago and its now something I look forward to weekly. I had never done yoga prior so I was not sure what to expect. Krystal is the most amazing yoga instructor. She truly encourages and supports every student in class based on their individual needs and her voice is so calming which helps way more than you would think. They offer a variety of different traditional yoga practices which is great! Adam is on the BJJ side of the studio and is always smiling when I see him! They make an awesome team!
