Refuge Martial Arts Academy (RMA) is dedicated to developing today’s young adults through Christian moral training. We provide a high standard of instruction in the martial arts and its principles, with honesty, patience, and diligence, while at the same time applying Christian principles.
At Refuge Martial Arts we use some of the latest MMA curriculum to include an action packed training regiment consisting of techniques from John Hackleman’s (Chuck “The IceMan” Lidell’s Trainer) The Pit Curriculum, Dan Henderson’s Fight Quest Curriculum, Randy Couture’s Xtreme Couture Curriculum, and much more. MMA is incorporated into each of our adult classes, and is taught in depth at our weekly Fight Clinics.
Our programs teach the basics leading to a strong foundation, and further detailed training. They will enhance your physical abilities, and maximize your self defense skills. Men, women, and children alike will discover more about themselves, and their potential through the martial arts faster than they ever could in today’s society. We have seen remarkable results in those who have participated in our programs. Such results include enhanced self confidence, improved social skills, disciplined behavior, advanced school and work ethic, and much more.
