Common Questions About Our Programs
Curious about getting started at Reizen MMA? Below are the questions we hear most often from new students and parents in Lakeview.
Not at all. Most of our students walk in with zero experience. Our MMA, Muay Thai, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and wrestling classes are built to meet complete beginners where they are, and our coaches break every technique down step by step.
Yes. We invite new students of all ages to come in for a free trial so you or your child can experience a real class before committing. Just book through our contact form and we'll get you set up with the right session.
Our kids program is designed for ages 7 to 14. Classes focus on fundamentals, discipline, and confidence in a safe, supervised environment, so children build real skills while having fun.
It depends on your goals. If you want striking, try Muay Thai or our Jukestir Fit kickboxing class. If you prefer grappling, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu or wrestling is a great start, and MMA blends it all together. We're happy to point you to the right fit on your first visit.
Two to three classes a week is a great starting point for steady progress, but you are welcome to train as often as your schedule allows. Our class times run throughout the week for both kids and adults.
Comfortable athletic clothing you can move in is perfect for your first class, and no uniform or gear is required to start. For grappling classes we'll let you know what to bring as you progress.
Reizen MMA brings MMA, Muay Thai, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, wrestling, and fitness kickboxing together under one roof, with dedicated programs for kids, adults, and seniors. Our coaching team is invested in every student’s growth, not just the competitors.
