Am I going to get hit and will it hurt?

If you want to learn how to strike, you must learn how it feels to be struck. Becoming a fighter means knowing how to take a hit, but don't worry - no one will ever strike you without your consent. Beginner levels with our seasoned instructors consist of hitting pads and bags, at a pace that fits you. Direct strikes come with experience and will not be a part of your initial classes, but you will definitely work up to it.

Am I too old to begin training in Mixed Martial Arts?

It is never too late to begin your journey whether it be for self-defense, health, longevity, or to feel young again. We have students ranging from 4 to 70 years old. We always recommend that you see your physician before starting if you are not sure or if you feel you may be physically unable to do so. Once you start, you will begin to learn new skills, lose weight, and feel an improvement in your conditioning.

Am I too small or too large to group train?

No, the styles we teach rely on technique rather than strength. The larger students also know that they are to use technique, rather than their weight and strength. Bullies in the school are dealt with swiftly and that behavior is not tolerated on the mats either. We are here to help each other, not hurt each other!

Are your classes for beginners?

Rounders MMA offers classes that allow you to train at your level - most boxing, cardio kickboxing, and BJJ classes are appropriate for all skill levels. MMA and Wrestling are considered intermediate where more advanced skills must be established in order to keep with the pace of the other members in the class (usually fighters training for competition).
