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.

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!

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!

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!

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!
