"I can not say enough good things about RMGA! I did a fair amount of gym shopping before I decided to make this my gym home. The amount that Coaches AJ and Risser have taught me in my two years there are unparalleled. They work really hard to make the environment a safe and welcoming space for all people in the community and truly have made the gym a family. I mean, how many other gyms can you tell your professors you want to go to a seminar for your birthday and they go WITH YOU to help you celebrate? The kids' classes are super informative and all of the kids' coaches are extremely patient. The women's classes include ALL women and ensure a safe space, and allow us extra training time. The adult BJJ and kickboxing classes are extremely informative and technical. I always leave with something new to put in my toolbox. The coaches are really big on sportsmanship and teach their students how to behave with dignity and grace. Our competitors usually leave competitions friends with their opponents...and we have people from all over the country join us to train throughout the year! The things I have learned here have elevated my competition and my training more than any other gym I trained at in the area. 10/10, if you're shopping for a gym, this is the place to look."
"This is a great place to train in the Greenwood area! The dojo is clean and the environment is friendly. You won’t find a better judo teacher than Sensei Alvaro"
"As of the time that I'm writing this review, I've been doing it for only a few months, and I LOVE it!!! They are very welcoming! It doesn't matter if you're a newcomer or if you're experienced. I've been recommending this specific gym to just about anybody I talk to, I love this place!!! The coaches are very kind and non-judgmental. If I don't really know what to do or how to do it the correct way, they are very helpful without any issues! In my opinion, it's a great workout! Whether you want to do this for a workout, or self defense, or just for fun, this is the place to go! Whenever I'm feeling frustrated or upset, and I go here, I always leave in a better mood! I definitely recommend this place! 10/10"
"I have only done three classes (so far) but I absolutely love this place. I cannot imagine a more welcoming space. I have never done any kind of martial art or sport before, so I am literally starting at 0 knowledge. Coach AJ has made me feel very safe and welcomed, and everyone has been extraordinarily kind and patient with me as I learn. I am very out of my comfort zone, but I have a great time and lots of laughs (and an amazing workout!)"
